Client Software Architect

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a hands-on Senior Software Architect to lead end-to-end solution delivery, combining platform development, client engagement, and partner integrations for major retail platform. This role unifies architecture leadership (design, trade-offs, governance), platform building (infrastructure, core capabilities), client solution delivery (discovery, implementation, support), and AI-enabled acceleration to ensure high-quality, scalable, and future-ready solutions. You will own the complete architecture lifecycle — from discovery and design to delivery and operational readiness — guiding both the Discovery Track (rapid prototyping, feasibility validation, client alignment) and the Delivery Track (production implementation, measurable outcomes) while building the underlying platform capabilities that enable future solutions. The ideal candidate blends deep architecture expertise, software development, client engagement skills, integration experience, and practical use of AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining architectural integrity and operational excellence. Key Focus Areas Platform Infrastructure & Core Capabilities Design and implement scalable platform infrastructure to support emerging use cases and product evolution. Build and evolve core platform capabilities — APIs, microservices, data pipelines, and shared services. Define architecture patterns and frameworks that enable rapid feature development and platform extensibility. Lead technical design for new product capabilities as business requirements evolve. Client Engagement & Solution Delivery Own end-to-end solution delivery for client projects, converting business needs into validated architectures and working implementations. Lead client-facing architecture activities: facilitate workshops, present technical solutions, drive approvals, and act as subject-matter expert. Translate discovery outcomes into structured delivery backlogs that preserve design intent and architecture standards. Ensure traceability from business requirements to implemented solutions with full operational accountability. Product & Partner Integration Architecture Own integration architecture design across partner ecosystems — payments, loyalty, inventory, and cloud services. Define and enforce integration patterns, API contracts, and data models ensuring interoperability and scalability. Establish and maintain partner integration architectures, including authentication, error handling, and versioning strategies. Govern solution design and trade-offs with a focus on performance, security, and operational resilience.
