About The Position

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a hands-on Senior Product Enterprise Architect to lead product architecture, platform infrastructure development, and partner integrations for major retail platforms. This role combines technical leadership, hands-on development, and AI-enabled delivery acceleration to ensure high-quality, scalable, and future-ready solutions. You will own the end-to-end architecture lifecycle — from discovery and design to delivery and operational readiness — guiding both the Discovery Track (rapid prototyping, feasibility validation) and the Delivery Track (production implementation, measurable outcomes). The ideal candidate blends deep architecture expertise, platform infrastructure development, integration experience, and practical use of AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining architectural integrity.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Must have experience applying and utilizing AI-assisted tools and workflows (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) for design, coding, test generation, and documentation.
10+ years of software development experience, including recent hands-on coding in modern stacks.
5+ years designing cloud-native or event-driven architectures (Azure or equivalent).
Strong experience building platform infrastructure and scalable backend systems.
Experience with partner integrations — payments, SaaS APIs, loyalty, inventory, or authentication providers.
Expertise in API-first design (REST/OpenAPI), event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus), and data stores (SQL/NoSQL).
Solid grasp of containerization, CI/CD, and Kubernetes-based delivery pipelines.
Proven ownership of architecture-to-delivery outcomes, including post-release operational accountability.
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools and automation in the software lifecycle.
Excellent communication skills with ability to document, present, and align across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Strong knowledge of retail domain (POS systems, store operations, payment processing).
Certifications such as Azure Solutions Architect, AWS Solutions Architect, or equivalent.
Experience with API Gateway or Integration Platforms (Azure APIM, Kong, Apigee, MuleSoft, Boomi).
Solid understanding of API security and compliance (OAuth 2.0/OIDC, JWT, PCI).
Familiarity with formal specifications (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema) for contract-driven development.
Experience with partner onboarding frameworks and developer portal design.
Background in distributed systems, microservices architecture, and infrastructure as code.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end solution architecture across discovery, design, delivery, and operational readiness.
Design and build new platform infrastructure to support emerging product requirements and use cases.
Produce and maintain key architectural artifacts: ADRs, interface contracts, data flow diagrams, infrastructure specs, and traceability matrices.
Establish and maintain partner integration architectures, including authentication (OAuth, SAML, API keys), error handling, and versioning strategies.
Govern architecture consistency across third-party ecosystems and internal product lines.
Write production code for critical platform features and infrastructure components.
Ensure architecture quality gates and participate in design reviews and release sign-offs.
Identify and mitigate architecture risks — compatibility, data integrity, scalability, and partner dependencies.
Contribute to continuous improvement through reusable patterns, automation, and cross-team alignment.
