Senior Solutions Architect

What you'll do as our Senior Solutions Architect

• —Own solution architecture and technical design end-to-end for replatforming projects: scoping, integration design and go-live plans.
• —Take full ownership of a client's technical scope – including how their business actually runs, from order fulfillment to how finance wants its reports.
• —Lead technical discovery/scoping on new opportunities and support pre-sales, including paid discovery engagements.
• —Establish or significantly upgrade Woolman's agent-driven delivery model – setting clear standards for what the agent delivers and what a human writes.
• —Mentor the delivery team and help shape engineering and recruiting standards.
• —Work across several clients and projects at the same time.

What you'll bring

Proven, hands-on production delivery on at least one serious ecommerce platform – Shopify Plus, Salesforce Commerce Cloud/Demandware, Magento/Adobe Commerce, custom/headless, BigCommerce or commercetools – including the integration "scars": ERP, PIM, OMS/fulfillment, orders, payments.

Genuine full-stack range: TypeScript/Node, React/Next.js, some Python, API and data design, systems integrations.

Practical, hands-on experience with AI coding agents – you use them to multiply your own output, know where they speed delivery up and where they add risk, and can set team-level standards.

Client-facing consulting experience, ideally including pre-sales or paid discovery work.

Clear communicator with clients and your own team, with a genuine drive to mentor others.

Self-driven: you know what to prioritize and when to ask for help – Woolman is still young, so not everything has a ready-made process.

Above all, you combine deep technical craft with intellectual honesty – you tell clients what's actually true rather than what's easy to hear, and you're just as comfortable setting architecture standards as you are mentoring the people who'll run with them.

What success looks like

In 1 month: You've mapped out how Woolman delivers – the Shopify stack, the replatforming playbook, ongoing development accounts – and sat in on live client work, a discovery call and at least one pre-sales conversation. You've assessed current engineering standards and how the team works with AI agents today, and delivered one visible early win.

In 3 months: You've owned solution architecture end-to-end on at least one replatforming project, led technical discovery on a new opportunity, and helped establish or meaningfully upgrade the agent-driven delivery model, with an early measurable benefit.

In 12 months: You're a trusted architect across multiple accounts – replatforming delivery is measurably faster and better thanks to a repeatable AI-agent method, the delivery team's level has risen through your mentoring, and you're contributing steady pipeline through pre-sales and paid discovery.

The people you'll work with

You'll join Woolman's delivery and account teams, working closely with Lead Consultants, the sales team and the wider engineering team – including colleagues already based in the UK.

Your team: you'll pair with a Lead Consultant depending on the client, support the sales team on pre-sales and technical discovery (occasional, not a standing sales quota), and mentor the delivery team.

Culture: flat and trust-based – independence and initiative are expected from day one, and processes are still evolving as the company grows. There are no line managers checking in on you – if you own something, you're expected to flag the bad news early, not just the good.

Work-life balance: our pace isn't frantic, but you're expected to see things through yourself rather than pass them along.

Nice-to-haves: replatforming/migration projects into Shopify, custom app/module work, real integration projects (ERP/PIM/OMS), or an active voice in commerce, architecture or AI-delivery communities.
