The role

A solution architect at an e-commerce marketplace designs distributed systems for commerce, supply chain, logistics, and advertising, shaping headless commerce, agentic AI, and multi-cloud infrastructure. The role establishes API design, data modelling, Kafka, and Kubernetes standards while prototyping resilient platforms for extreme traffic and business growth.

Full job description

Responsibilities:

Architectural Stewardship: Own the global architecture blueprint for Myntra. Ensure that our systems (Commerce, Supply Chain, Logistics, and Ads) are decoupled, resilient, and ready for 10x growth.

Strategic Engineering: Drive "Zero-to-One" initiatives. Whether it's moving toward a headless commerce engine, integrating agentic AI into the shopping funnel, or optimising multi-cloud costs (FinOps), you lead the charge.

System Integrity and Scale: Ensure the platform can sustain massive traffic bursts (e. g., EORS) with high availability ($99.99\%+$) and sub-100ms latencies across critical paths.

Technical Governance: Set the "Gold Standards" for API design, data modelling, and security. Review and sign off on high-impact RFCs and Design Docs across the organisation.

Architectural Mentorship: Act as the Primus inter pares (First among equals) for our architects. Build a world-class architecture guild, fostering a culture of rigorous peer reviews and continuous learning.

Hands-on Prototyping: While you operate at a high level, you are expected to build "vanguard" prototypes or POCs for complex, cross-cutting technical problems.

Requirements:

The Veteran's Lens: 20-25 years of experience in core consumer internet products.

You have lived through multiple technology cycles and migrations.

Scale Mastery: Proven track record of architecting and scaling distributed systems that handle billions of requests and petabytes of data.

Tech Stack Breadth:

Deep expertise in Java ecosystems, NoSQL/SQL (Cassandra, ScyllaDB, PostgreSQL), Streaming (Kafka, Flink), and Cloud-Native infra (GCP/Azure, K8S, Istio).

Product Thinking: You don't build tech for tech's sake. You understand the "fashion" business inventory turns, warehouse throughput, and customer LTV.

Leadership without Authority: Exceptional ability to influence Engineering and Product Leadership through technical clarity, empathy, and data-backed conviction.
