Role Overview:

Our customer is a forward-thinking, high-growth brand dedicated to creating exceptional customer experiences. We are passionate about meeting our customers where they are, and increasingly, that's on social media. We are looking for a visionary architect to lead our expansion into the next frontier of digital retail.

We are seeking a eCommerce Integration Layer Architect to design and develop the Integration Layer that powers seamless interoperability between our enterprise commerce backbone and major e-commerce platforms such as TikTok Shop, Shopify, and Magento.

This role focuses on real-time data synchronization, race-condition handling, and resilient API-based data flow for product catalog, sales orders, and inventory synchronization.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on professional with strong experience in open-source frameworks, REST APIs, and cloud-native deployments (AWS / Multi-Cloud) who can architect and implement scalable integrations that ensure high reliability and low latency.

What You’ll Deliver:

• A robust and extensible Integration Layer enabling near-real-time commerce data synchronization
• API-driven, cloud-deployed modules ensuring scalability, reliability, and observability
• A future-proof integration framework adaptable to new commerce platforms 

Key Responsibilities:
Integration Architecture & Development:

• Design and implement custom integration adapters between internal systems and e-commerce platforms (TikTok Shop, Shopify, Magento, etc.).
• Develop bi-directional synchronization pipelines for product data, order fulfillment, pricing, and inventory updates.
• Ensure real-time or near-real-time reflection of data across systems using event-driven and asynchronous mechanisms (webhooks, message queues, etc.).
• Manage race conditions, idempotency, and transactional consistency across distributed systems. 

API Engineering:

• Build and maintain RESTful APIs for cross-platform data interchange.
• Work with OAuth2 / API keys for secure integration.
• Optimize API throughput and handle throttling, retries, and failure recovery patterns.

 Cloud & DevOps:

• Deploy and monitor integration components in AWS or multi-cloud environments (GCP, Azure).
• Work with Lambda / ECS / EKS or equivalent container orchestration platforms.
• Implement observability (Grafana, Elastic, Prometheus) and alerting for integration reliability.

 Data Synchronization & Messaging:

• Use message queues (Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ, etc.) for reliable event propagation.
• Implement conflict resolution and concurrency control for multi-source updates.
• Handle delta synchronization and data reconciliation jobs.

 Collaboration & Open-Source Mindset:

• Contribute to open-source integration toolkits or internal frameworks.
• Collaborate with product, platform, and data teams to align integration models with business logic.
• Document APIs, schemas, and integration workflows for internal and external consumption.

Required Skills:

• 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience (preferably in integration and API-driven platforms)
• Strong proficiency in RESTful API design and integration patterns
• Hands-on coding in at least one backend language (Python, Node.js, Java, or Go)
• Experience with Shopify Admin API, TikTok Shop API, and Magento 2 API (REST / GraphQL)
• Solid understanding of race conditions, asynchronous event handling, and idempotent operations
• Experience with AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, SQS/SNS, CloudWatch) or multi-cloud equivalents
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
• Exposure to database synchronization (PostgreSQL / MySQL / MongoDB)
• Experience with monitoring & observability tools (Grafana, ELK, Prometheus)
• Open-source contributor mindset — able to work independently and deliver production-grade code

Preferred Skills (Nice-to-Have):

• Experience with message brokers and CDC (Change Data Capture) frameworks such as Debezium or Kafka Connect
• Knowledge of GraphQL API integration
• Understanding of e-commerce domain flows (order lifecycle, fulfillment, refunds)
• Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Prior exposure to microservices and event-driven architectures

 Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Soft Skills:

• Strong problem-solving mindset and analytical thinking
• Excellent communication and documentation skills
• Ability to work cross-functionally with business and platform teams
• Ownership mentality — comfortable working as a senior IC (Individual Contributor) in fast-paced environments
