Enterprise Solutions Architect

McKinney, TX (Onsite)

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.
