Position Details :

We're looking for a Principal Software Architect who can lead the design of modular business capabilities within a complex enterprise ecosystem.

Our ideal candidate is fluent in product thinking, platform architecture, and understands how to build systems (th)at scale.

You will report to to the Director of Architecture, Product Information Management and Product Discovery, and works closely with leaders across Product and Engineering. This role is based out of our Chicago Office and is hybrid. Remote candidates who are willing to travel will be considered.

  • Design services that are flexible, discoverable, and interoperable across the enterprise.
  • Provide architectural guidance on data modeling, API design, service boundaries, and internal platform strategy.
  • Influence engineering practices across the organization - driving clarity in trade-offs, enabling reuse, and mentoring senior engineers.
  • Ensure architectural interoperability with other Domains such as supply chain, customer experience, and merchandising - recognizing that your systems exist as part of an ecosystem, not a silo.
  • You Have :

  • Be able to function effectively in a product-centric engineering culture (as opposed to project-driven delivery)
  • Proven ability to design and scale modular software capabilities that serve multiple teams or channels

  • We view architecture as a product in itself - one that enables every team to move faster, safer, and more independently
  • We balance team autonomy with enterprise coherence, ensuring capabilities work as part of a broader ecosystem.
  • We think about the long-term and wide-boundary impacts of our decisions.
  • We drive intentionality around decisions, clearly articulating trade-offs to those accountable for them.
  • We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or expression, protected veteran status or any other protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law.
