Technical Architect Team Lead

Description

Solution Architecture & Technical Delivery

• Own end-to-end technical architecture for customer implementations, including integrations, complex data flows, and non-standard requirements
• Design and support bi-directional integrations with ERP, PLM, PIM, DAM, BI, and other enterprise systems; define API patterns, sync strategies, and error-handling approaches
• Lead data onboarding and migration efforts including mapping, transformation, validation, and loading
• Act as technical lead on customer engagements, reviewing and validating configurations and code; contribute hands-on when needed
• Troubleshoot complex issues across implementation, go-live, and post-launch escalations
• Serve as the final escalation point for solution design risk or ambiguity
• Must have experience with modern and up to date tech stack

Strategic Advisory & Pre-Sales

• Advise enterprise customers and executive stakeholders on platform fit, scalability, and future-state architecture
• Partner with Sales and Customer Success during high-complexity sales cycles; validate feasibility and support executive-level conversations
• Help set appropriate customer expectations around platform capabilities early in the engagement lifecycle

Mentorship, Enablement & Stewardship

• Lead a group of technical resources, developing their skills and capabilities as they become fellow architects
• Mentor other Technical Architects and Functional Consultants; elevate solution quality through design reviews and knowledge sharing
• Optimize technical design processes, contribute to internal reference architectures, documentation, and reusable delivery assets
• Partner with Product and Engineering to surface field insights, inform roadmap prioritization, and evolve solutioning principles

Required Skills & Qualifications

The Technical Architect Team Lead is a senior , hands-on role that combines deep technical execution with strategic oversight. You will own the architecture and implementation of complex customer solutions while providing mentorship and direction across the Professional Services team. This role requires someone equally comfortable writing and reviewing code as advising executive stakeholders on platform strategy.

• 10+ years in solution architecture, technical consulting, or enterprise SaaS delivery
• Strong industry background in retail, footwear, or apparel
• Experience with PLM platforms; FlexPLM strongly preferred
• Hands-on experience with integrations, data migration, customization, and troubleshooting
• Demonstrated ability to advise executive stakeholders on complex technology decisions
• Excellent communication skills across both technical and executive audiences
• Must be technically proficient with real hands-on coding experience in their career. Cannot be too removed from code to do design or code review
• Cloud technology deployment experience is required
• Industry experience is a strong preference, ideally with PLM, PIM, ERP, or ecommerce systems, either working directly for a brand or consulting with one
• Drive technical design (about 30 to 40% of time)
  • Engage directly with customers to understand requirements for integrations, event workflows, and extensions
  • Architect the solution for non-functional technical requirements (how to build an integration, not the actual coding)
  • Solutioning gets handed off to junior technical resources to build
  • Only engaged in the most complex, highest stakes implementations
• Design and code review (majority of remaining time, the core "team lead" function)
  • Review architecture and code from other technical resources engaged on customer projects
  • Act as a force multiplier: unblock the team rather than doing the work themselves
  • Example: a resource proposes an integration approach for a customer, the team lead reviews and validates it
• Manage technical resources
  • Identify skill gaps and develop the team (example: leveling up someone's JavaScript)
  • Standard people management and mentorship
  • Resource and backlog management: matching technical resources to active projects based on skill set and project needs (across US and overseas resources)
• Improve the solutioning process
  • Define best practices for common technical patterns (extensions, integrations, event workflows)
  • Build reusable solution patterns so effort levels out over time
  • Distinct from the Implementation Engineering team, which builds tools. This role owns process and best practices, not tooling
  • Example pattern: integrations generally fall into two types, file-based transfer or direct API calls. The team lead should be able to say which approach fits which customer requirements
