Hello

Position: Enterprise Solution Architect

Location: Dallas, TX (Onsite)

Duration: Contract & Full time

The Enterprise Architect is responsible for defining and governing the end-to-end enterprise architecture across frontend, backend, integration, and cloud platforms.

This role ensures alignment between business strategy, technology platforms, and delivery execution, enabling scalable, resilient, and composable digital platforms across web, mobile, desktop, and associate-facing retail environments.

The Enterprise Architect provides architectural vision, guardrails, and decision frameworks, while working closely with Frontend Architects, Backend Architects, Tech Leads, and Product leaders to ensure consistent, future-proof implementations.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Architecture & Strategy

Define and maintain the enterprise technology blueprint covering:

Frontend platforms (ReactJS, React Native, Micro-Frontends, SDUI)

Backend platforms (.NET microservices, BFFs, event-driven systems)

Cloud and infrastructure (Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD)

Translate business capabilities into modular, composable architecture models.

Drive long-term technology roadmap planning, balancing innovation, scalability, and risk.

Platform & Domain Architecture Governance

Govern domain ownership and bounded contexts across frontend and backend systems using Domain-Driven Design (DDD).

Ensure consistent application of Clean Architecture, CQRS, and event-driven principles across teams.

Define standards for Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) patterns and frontend integration contracts.

Frontend & Experience Architecture

Provide architectural oversight for:

Micro-Frontend architectures (SSR, CSR, Module Federation)

ReactJS and React Native platforms across web, mobile, and desktop

Server-Driven UI (SDUI) and Atomic Design implementations

Ensure frontend platforms support white-labeling, multi-brand, and multi-region use cases.

Guide design system strategy and UI shell patterns for associate-facing and customer-facing applications.

Backend & Integration Architecture

Define enterprise standards for .NET microservices on Azure.

Govern event-driven architecture, including messaging, domain events, and integration patterns.

Ensure APIs and services are designed for scalability, versioning, and backward compatibility.

Guide integration strategies with headless CMS, MBaaS, POS systems, and third-party platforms.

Resilience, Reliability & Scalability

Define enterprise-wide resilience and reliability standards, including:

Circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, and timeouts

Graceful degradation and fallback strategies

Eventual consistency models

Ensure systems remain operational during partial failures, downstream outages, and traffic spikes.

Align architectural decisions with performance, availability, and scalabilitygoals.

Cloud & Infrastructure Architecture

Define Azure-native architecture patterns using:

AKS, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL

Govern containerization, Kubernetes strategies, and CI/CD pipelines.

Ensure security, compliance, and cost-optimization considerations are embedded into architecture decisions.

Technology Governance & Decision Making

Establish architecture guardrails, reference architectures, and decision records (ADRs).

Lead architecture reviews and approve cross-team design decisions.

Evaluate and rationalize technology choices across the enterprise.

Balance build vs buy decisions for commerce, CMS, and platform capabilities.

Collaboration & Leadership

Partner with Product, Engineering, Security, and Operations leadership.

Mentor Architects, Tech Leads, and Senior Engineers.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Extensive experience in Enterprise or Platform Architecture roles.

Strong hands-on background in:

Cloud-native backend systems (.NET, Azure, microservices)

Modern frontend platforms (ReactJS, React Native, Micro-Frontends)

Deep understanding of:

Composable commerce architectures

Domain-Driven Design (DDD)

Event-driven systems

Clean Architecture principles

Proven experience designing resilient, distributed systems.

Strong understanding of cross-platform application ecosystems (Web, Mobile, Desktop).

Ability to communicate complex architecture to technical and executive audiences.

Preferred / Desirable Qualifications

Experience in retail, POS, or high-volume transactional systems.

Exposure to B2B commerce platforms.

Familiarity with Kotlin Multiplatform / Compose Multiplatform ecosystems.

Experience defining enterprise design system strategies.

Background in large-scale digital transformation initiatives.
