Senior Architect

We are looking for a Senior Architect to join us

Essential functions

Candidate responsibilities

• Define the target architecture of the e-commerce platform on Broadleaf and own the key design decisions and their documentation.
• Design how Broadleaf modules will be extended and customized so the platform stays upgradeable.
• Design integrations with the client’s enterprise systems and third-party services, including API contracts and data flows.
• Set engineering standards for the team (code structure, review practices, testing, CI/CD) and review critical implementations.
• Identify performance, security, and scalability risks early and define how the platform handles peak load.
• Act as the main technical counterpart for client architects and stakeholders, and translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Mentor engineers on Broadleaf internals and commerce domain patterns.

Qualifications

Requirements for the candidate

• Has designed and delivered production e-commerce platforms on Broadleaf Commerce, including customizing and extending its core modules: catalog, pricing and offers, cart and checkout, order management, and the admin console.
• Deep Java and Spring (Spring Boot, Spring Data/JPA, Hibernate) experience at an architect level, and can explain framework-level design decisions, not only use them.
• Has defined target architectures for commerce systems and can justify the trade-offs: when to extend Broadleaf versus building custom services, and monolith versus microservices.
• Has designed integrations between a commerce platform and surrounding enterprise systems, such as ERP, OMS, PIM, payment gateways, tax, and inventory, using REST APIs and messaging.
• Has addressed performance, scalability, and availability for customer-facing storefronts under peak traffic, using caching, load testing, and database tuning.
• Can lead technical discussions with client stakeholders, document architecture decisions, and guide an engineering team through implementation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent is required

Would be a plus

• Experience with Broadleaf Microservices: Spring Cloud, event-driven messaging with Kafka or RabbitMQ, and deployment on Kubernetes or Helm.
• Commerce search experience with Apache Solr or Elasticsearch, including relevance tuning and faceting.
• Experience upgrading or migrating Broadleaf versions, or replatforming from another commerce engine to Broadleaf or away from it.
• Experience with a GCP, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.
• B2B commerce features such as account hierarchies, price lists, quotes, and approvals, or multi-site and multi-tenant setups.
• Experience with headless or composable commerce, where Broadleaf APIs serve a separate frontend such as React or Next.js.
