Level: Architect (contract)

Engagement: Contract

Job Description & Qualifications

Job Summary

Own solution architecture for HD Supply’s B2B eCommerce platform across HCL Commerce /

WebSphere Commerce (WCS) v8, Next.js storefront, and Spring Boot services during dual-run. Translate

business and product intent into designs that keep the legacy commerce engine healthy while journeys

move onto the modern stack. Provide Ready-to-Serve architectural leadership: standards, integration

patterns, NFRs, and design review. Hands-on: you will still write and review design artifacts and, as

needed, code — this is not a slide-only role.

Major Tasks, Responsibilities and Key Accountabilities

• Define and maintain target and transitional architecture for multi-tier B2B commerce: WCS store,

store data, business logic, Commerce tools, Spring Boot APIs, and Next.js / React storefront.

• Lead design of dual-run / strangler patterns: which journeys stay on WCS, which move to Next.js +

services, how routing, session, catalog, cart,



and order stay consistent, and how cut-over and

rollback work.

• Produce and review solution designs, sequence/integration diagrams, and interface contracts

(REST/SOAP). Identify re-usability, performance, security, and operability issues before build.

• Partner with product, delivery leads, QA, DevOps, and enterprise/integration teams on

requirements, data conversion, integration testing, and cut-over.

• Set coding and design standards for Commerce customization, Spring Boot services, and Next.js

storefront so squads do not fork three incompatible styles.

• Guide integration with back-end systems (ERP, payments, search, CMS, punchout / customer

purchasing systems) without treating Preview (authoring) and Runtime (customer-facing) Commerce

as the same setting.

• Review designs and PRs for Commerce, services, and storefront; unblock the hardest cross-layer

defects at root cause.

• Advise on capaci
