Position Summary:

Magento has quickly grown from a single piece of open source software to an entire suite of digital commerce products and partners. As we continue to grow it is essential to establish a robust technical architecture - a foundation that allows us to build and integrate new products and services with both incredible speed and excellent quality. As the universe of Magento software expands, we need to look ahead to usability and security concerns like universal identity, inter-app integrations and product analytics, API/service consolidation and standardization, and much more. While these goals might be fairly straightforward to achieve in a pure-SaaS environment, they are substantially more challenging when the deployment types are mixed, when your customers have code-level access to your products, and when you have a diverse ecosystem of both technical and non-technical users. If these types of complexities excite you, you are exactly the type of architect we need!
