Platform/Solution Architect
Grid Dynamics is looking for a Platform/Solution Architect to join a strategic engagement with a Fortune 500 home goods retailer, working on a new web assortment management platform. You'll architect the system that lets merchandising teams create and schedule incremental catalog updates ("Change Sets"), integrating deeply with the client's Product Information Management (PIM), Digital Asset Management (DAM), and translation systems. This role suits someone equally comfortable in a schema-mapping deep-dive and a stakeholder-facing design review.
Essential functions
Participate in requirements clarification and backlog grooming, working closely with the customer's Product teams
Work actively with the architecture team to contribute to system design, particularly around integrations with PIM, DAM, and other enterprise systems
Use both AI-assisted and classical engineering methods to develop and test new features
Proactively identify and help address risks early, and suggest improvements to the platform's architecture
Qualifications
Soft Skills/Conditions:
Strong business requirements analysis and management skills
Solid solution design and architecture skills
Comfortable presenting and defending architecture decisions to senior/executive stakeholders
Available for 4+ hours of daily communication with the team and client
Persistent in pushing initiatives forward despite organizational pushback
Hard Skills:
Broad full-stack awareness — frontend, backend, databases, CI/CD, and infrastructure
Hands-on experience with PIM and/or CMS solutions
Working knowledge of DAM (Digital Asset Management) solutions
Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases
Experience with Kafka or other streaming/event-driven solutions
Experience with schema-heavy protocols and data mapping solutions
Would be a plus
Java + Spring stack knowledge
Hands-on experience with AI coding agents/tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code)
Experience with dedicated PIM or DAM platforms (e.g., Akeneo, Salsify, inRiver, Bloomreach)
Prior experience in retail/e-commerce or catalog-heavy domains
We offer
- Opportunity to work on bleeding-edge projects
- Work with a highly motivated and dedicated team
- Competitive salary
- Flexible schedule
- Benefits package - medical insurance, sports
