Do you enjoy helping large brands determine not just how to build something, but what they should build and why?

Can you walk into a discovery session, understand an existing enterprise commerce ecosystem, identify requirements and risks, and design a Shopify architecture that will support the brand for years to come?

Can you determine how Shopify should integrate into a larger technology ecosystem that may include an ERP, OMS, PIM, inventory and fulfillment systems, marketing platforms, payment providers, tax platforms, CRM, and other enterprise systems?

Are you equally comfortable discussing architecture with a CTO, walking business stakeholders through technical tradeoffs, helping a sales team scope a potential project, and getting into the code when needed?

If so, we'd like to talk.

As a Shopify Solutions Architect at DemandPDX, you will provide technical leadership across the full lifecycle of enterprise Shopify engagements, from pre-sales and discovery through architecture, implementation, launch, and ongoing optimization.

You will work directly with prospective and existing clients, our sales team, project managers, business analysts, designers, and engineers to design scalable Shopify solutions for larger and more complex brands.
