Hyderabad / Pune – Hybrid

Department: Retail

Experience: ~15 years overall, including 6–8 years in an Architect-level role

We're looking for an Architect to define and govern the technology strategy that connects business goals to IT execution within our Retail domain. You'll own the big picture — how applications, data, infrastructure, security, and AI capabilities fit together across the organization — while guiding teams toward consistent, scalable, and future-proof solutions, including how AI and GenAI are woven into the retail technology roadmap.

Own architecture across domains: business, application, data, technology/infrastructure, and security (TOGAF-style layers).

- Guide cloud strategy and migration (AWS/Azure/GCP), including hybrid and multi-cloud considerations.
- Define integration patterns (APIs, event-driven, messaging) across retail systems and third-party platforms (payment gateways, logistics, POS, CRM).
- Establish architecture documentation standards (reference architectures, ADRs, capability maps).
- Mentor solution architects, tech leads, and senior engineers; Ensure architecture decisions account for scalability, security, compliance, cost, and operational resilience — particularly around peak retail events (e.g., Define the Org AI/GenAI strategy — identifying high-value use cases across the retail value chain (personalization, demand forecasting, conversational commerce, supply chain optimization, fraud detection).
- Establish reference architectures for integrating AI/ML and GenAI capabilities (LLMs, RAG pipelines, recommendation engines) into existing retail platforms and data ecosystems.
- Partner with data science and analytics teams to ensure AI initiatives are built on governed,



scalable data architecture.
- Define responsible AI guardrails — data privacy, model governance and compliance — as part of the Org architecture standards.
- Evaluate AI platform and vendor choices (cloud-native AI services, LLM providers, MLOps tooling) as part of build-vs-buy decisions.

Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

- ~15 years in software/IT with 6–8 years in an architecture role.
- Proven experience designing architectures for large-scale, distributed, multi-system environments, ideally within Retail.
- Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud-native architecture patterns.
- Experience with microservices, APIs, event-driven architecture, and integration platforms.
- Solid understanding of data architecture, security architecture, and DevOps/CI-CD practices.
- Experience driving legacy modernization and cloud migration initiatives.
- Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts and how they integrate into architecture — model serving, data pipelines for ML, and AI-driven application patterns.

TOGAF or relevant cloud architect certification (AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert).

- Prior experience in Retail — eCommerce platforms, POS systems, inventory/order management, or supply chain technology.
- Hands-on exposure to GenAI/LLM-based solutions (e.g., Familiarity with MLOps practices and AI governance/data governance frameworks.
- Experience with AI-driven retail use cases such as personalization engines, demand forecasting, or conversational commerce.
- Certifications in AI/ML on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS Certified Machine Learning, Azure AI Engineer) are a plus.
