McFadyen Digital is looking for a Solution Architect to design the next generation of AI-powered eCommerce and marketplace platforms for our Fortune 500 clients — while also leading McFadyen's own internal AI initiative. This is a rare dual mandate: you'll architect scalable commerce and marketplace solutions for our clients, and you'll set the vision and roadmap for how McFadyen adopts and operationalizes AI across the business. If you love solving hard technical problems at the intersection of commerce, data, and artificial intelligence, this role is built for you.

Top 5 Responsibilities

1. Lead the design and execution of McFadyen's enterprise AI strategy — identifying, prioritizing, and championing high-impact AI initiatives across the organization and for our clients.
2. Architect end-to-end eCommerce and marketplace solutions that embed AI-driven capabilities such as personalization, intelligent search, product recommendations, dynamic pricing, and fraud/anomaly detection.
3. Serve as the primary technical advisor to clients on AI-enabled commerce architecture, translating business requirements into scalable, secure technical designs.
4. Proven expertise as an Adobe Commerce (Magento) specialist, with a track record of architecting scalable, enterprise-grade eCommerce solutions on the platform.
5. Own the presales process for prospective engagements — leading solutioning, effort estimation, and technical proposal development to win new business.

Additional Responsibilities

• Evaluate, pilot, and operationalize emerging AI/ML technologies — including LLMs, generative AI, and agentic frameworks — to enhance both McFadyen's service offerings and internal delivery capabilities.
• Design solution architectures on platforms like Adobe Commerce, SFCC, SAP Hybris, commercetools, and Mirakl, integrating AI/ML models and data pipelines.
• Produce solution design documents, integration specifications, and architecture diagrams for both client and internal initiatives.
• Partner with sales and pre-sales teams to develop proposals, RFP/RFI responses, SOWs, and proof-of-concepts, including effort/level-of-effort estimation and pricing input.
• Guide engineering and delivery teams on AI implementation best practices, including MLOps and responsible AI governance.
• Champion data strategy and data architecture practices (data pipelines, data lakes, analytics) that underpin AI initiatives.
• Stay current on AI/ML advancements and proactively evaluate their applicability to commerce and marketplace use cases.
• Mentor architects and engineers across the organization on AI adoption and modern commerce architecture.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and client stakeholders to keep McFadyen's AI roadmap aligned with business priorities.

2. Proven, hands-on experience designing and deploying AI/ML solutions (recommendation engines, NLP, generative AI, LLMs) in production environments.
3. Demonstrated experience leading or driving an organization's AI strategy or innovation initiative.
4. Strong understanding of API-first, headless, and composable architectures, along with integration patterns (REST, GraphQL, event-driven).
