13d

About The Position

The eCommerce Architect owns the technical architecture and integration strategy for flooranddecor.com and the broader eCommerce technology ecosystem. This role sets the standards for how the platform is built, integrated, and scaled — spanning front-end architecture (React and modern web frameworks), back-end services, and large-scale commerce platforms such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud or Websphere Commerce. Partnering closely with the eCommerce Leadership, the eCommerce Architect translates long-term technology strategy into a coherent, extensible architecture and provides technical authority across engineering pods without direct people-management responsibility. This individual also leads the organization's adoption of modern, AI-augmented engineering practices — including the responsible use of AI-assisted (“vibe coding”) development tools — to improve delivery speed while safeguarding quality, security, and long-term maintainability.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional software development experience, including significant full-stack engineering work
• 5+ years of experience in a solution architect, enterprise architect, or comparable senior technical role for large-scale eCommerce or digital commerce platforms
• Expert-level knowledge of React and modern front-end architecture, along with strong back-end/systems design experience
• Demonstrated experience designing integration architectures for high-traffic, customer-facing systems

Nice To Haves

• Deep, hands-on expertise with a large-scale commerce platform such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud or Websphere Commerce
• Experience leading a platform migration, replatform, or composable/headless commerce transformation on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Websphere Commerce, or a comparable platform
• Practical experience defining organization-wide standards or guardrails for AI-assisted (“vibe coding”) development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code)
• Proven track record of executing a major technology renovation or modernization strategy (preferably containing microservices and GraphQL BFF elements).
• Experience with cloud-native architecture, microservices, containerization, and CI/CD at enterprise scale
• Executive-level communication skills, with experience presenting architecture decisions and trade-offs to senior technology leadership
• Relevant architecture certifications (e.g., Salesforce Commerce Cloud Architect, AWS/Azure/GCP architecture certifications) a plus

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the target-state architecture for flooranddecor.com, including front-end, back-end, integration, and data layers
• Establish architecture patterns and standards for React-based front-end applications and full-stack service design
• Lead architecture reviews for major initiatives, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise architecture principles
• Own the technical roadmap for the core commerce platform (e.g., Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Websphere Commerce), including upgrades, replatforming, and composable/headless commerce initiatives
• Evaluate emerging platforms, frameworks, and vendor solutions, providing build/buy/partner recommendations to the Sr. Director, eCommerce Technology
• Design integration architecture across commerce, OMS, search, personalization, payments, and other supporting systems
• Establish and evangelize coding standards, design patterns, and technical best practices across the eCommerce engineering organization
• Define guidelines for the safe and effective use of AI-assisted development tools across the engineering organization, balancing speed with code quality, security, and compliance
• Participate in enterprise architecture, security, and IT governance forums on behalf of eCommerce Technology
• Act as the senior-most technical authority for Lead Engineers, Senior Engineers, and Engineers across the eCommerce organization, without formal reporting relationships
• Partner with Product, Design, and business stakeholders to translate strategic goals into sound technical solutions
• Mentor Lead and Senior eCommerce Engineers on architecture, system design, and platform expertise
• Continuously evaluate emerging technologies (AI/ML tooling, composable commerce, edge/CDN strategies, etc.) for applicability to flooranddecor.com
