Sr. Software Architect - Supply Chain Management

Sr. Software Architect – Supply Chain Management

Remote – Nationwide

Our client is seeking a senior-level software architecture leader to help shape the technology foundation behind complex, business-critical supply chain capabilities. This is an opportunity to influence modernization at significant scale, establish architectural direction across interconnected platforms, and help engineering teams turn ambitious business goals into resilient technology solutions. The ideal candidate combines deep software engineering expertise with the ability to bring teams together, challenge conventional approaches, and translate a long-term technical vision into practical execution.

The ideal candidate has a strong software engineering foundation with meaningful ownership of architecture and system design. Current Staff, Principal, or Lead Engineers who have operated as technical architecture leaders are encouraged to apply; a formal Architect title is not required.

This Role Offers:

• Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.
• Nationwide remote work with the opportunity to influence technology strategy across a large and complex operating environment.
• High-visibility role with meaningful interaction across engineering, product, architecture, and business leadership.
• Opportunity to shape the evolution of critical supply chain technology rather than simply maintain established systems.
• Ability to introduce modern architecture patterns, engineering practices, and technologies that improve scalability, reliability, and delivery.
• Broad technical influence across applications, data, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and software delivery practices.

Focus:

• Establish architectural direction for custom software capabilities supporting complex supply chain operations, emphasizing scalability, resilience, and long-term adaptability.
• Develop modernization strategies that connect technology investments with evolving operational priorities and long-term business goals.
• Guide architecture across applications, services, integrations, data flows, and cloud infrastructure while identifying opportunities to simplify and decouple the technology ecosystem.
• Partner closely with product and engineering leaders to translate complex or ambiguous business needs into technical vision, architecture decisions, and executable roadmaps across multiple teams and platforms.
• Evaluate architecture alternatives, clearly communicating technical tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations to engineering teams and senior decision-makers.
• Identify cross-platform technology risks and champion architecture approaches that strengthen reliability, maintainability, and operational performance.
• Advance engineering capabilities through technical mentorship, knowledge sharing, and evaluation of emerging technologies and modern software delivery practices.

Skill Set:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated ownership of architecture and system design for large-scale, complex software environments.
• Deep expertise in distributed systems and modern cloud architecture, including microservices, event-driven designs, APIs, containers/Kubernetes, and cloud platforms such as AWS.
• Strong software engineering depth and the ability to work closely with engineering teams on application design, APIs, CI/CD, containers, and modern software delivery practices.
• Demonstrated success leading significant technical initiatives and aligning multiple engineering teams or platforms around a shared architecture vision.
• Strong systems-thinking capabilities with experience selecting effective interaction and integration patterns across complex business capabilities.
• Ability to evaluate architecture alternatives and clearly articulate what should be built, why, and the technical and business tradeoffs involved.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, including the ability to influence senior stakeholders and mentor technical teams within matrixed organizations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• Experience with supply chain technology environments, SAP, or other large-scale ERP platforms is a plus
