We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter.

At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build.

THE ROLE

DEPT® is seeking a Commerce Architect to anchor Adobe Commerce delivery within our Commerce practice in North America. You are the technical authority for Adobe Commerce (Magento) — defining the architecture, driving execution, and ensuring our commerce solutions are scalable, secure, and performant. You lead technical discovery and pre-sales solutioning, architect enterprise-grade implementations, and advise clients throughout the project lifecycle, translating complex business needs into elegant commerce architecture. You partner closely with our Content and Data & Martech teams so that Adobe Commerce, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), and Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) come together into a coherent customer experience.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own Adobe Commerce Architecture: Own the end-to-end technical architecture for Adobe Commerce projects — ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and performant — and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, data models, and integration specifications.
• Define Standards and Lead Reviews: Define and enforce development standards, best practices, and coding patterns for the Adobe Commerce platform; lead technical design reviews and mentor development teams to the architectural vision.
• Lead Pre-Sales and Solutioning: Act as the lead technical expert during the sales process — running technical discovery, architecting viable solutions, developing technical proposals, Statements of Work, and level-of-effort estimates, and presenting confidently to client stakeholders including C-level executives.
• Integrate the Commerce Ecosystem: Architect integrations across ERP (e.g., NetSuite, SAP), PIM, OMS, CRM, and payment gateways, and connect Adobe Commerce to content (AEM) and personalization and data (AEP).
• Advise and Solve: Serve as a trusted technical advisor on performance, security, scalability, migrations, and total cost of ownership across new and existing Adobe Commerce implementations.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Adobe Commerce Expertise: 7+ years of hands-on experience with Adobe Commerce (Magento), with at least 4 years in a Solution Architect or Lead Developer role, and deep expertise in both Adobe Commerce Cloud and on-premise versions.
• Architectural Mastery: A proven track record of designing and delivering complex, large-scale eCommerce solutions.
• Pre-Sales Experience: Demonstrable experience in a pre-sales or solution-engineering capacity, including estimating effort and writing technical proposals.
• Technical Acumen: Expert-level knowledge of PHP, MySQL, Varnish, Redis, and the core Adobe Commerce framework, and proficiency with modern DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure).
• eCommerce Ecosystem: Strong understanding of the broader commerce ecosystem, including integrations with ERP, PIM, OMS, CRM, and payment gateways.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to build credibility with clients.

Nice to have: Adobe Certified Master – Adobe Commerce Architect; experience with headless and composable commerce (GraphQL, PWA Studio); familiarity with other Adobe products such as AEM, Adobe Analytics, or AEP; and a background in a digital agency or technology consultancy.
