As our Edge Infrastructure Technical Architect, you will own the architectural blueprint, hardware selection, and end-to-end deployment strategy for our next-generation store systems. You will bridge the gap between high-level enterprise design and hands-on automation, ensuring our distributed edge nodes, smart networks, and mobile fleets are secure, highly scalable, and exceptionally reliable. You will treat our massive physical footprint as a Cloud-Native Product—architecting systems that are consumable entirely via code (IaC) and protected by invisible, automated security.
Job Responsibility
Define and drive the strategic roadmap for our Edge and IoT platforms
Lead the evaluation, prototyping, and validation of hardware and next-generation cloud integration
Architect robust, scalable compute and storage configurations (including hybrid cloud, software-defined networking, and single-node patterns) optimized for retail environments utilizing technologies like Red Hat OpenShift and Linux
Standardize and govern enterprise-scale communication protocols (e.g., MQTT, CoAP) and integration frameworks with platforms like Azure IoT Hub
Architect ruggedised Android solutions and the management platforms to support them like Omnissa, to meet the specific needs of retail and distribution centers locations
Mentor a high-performing squad of infrastructure engineers and guide business stakeholders, translating speed and agility needs into robust platform capabilities
Requirements
5+ years of dedicated experience in infrastructure architecture, technical design, or systems engineering
Large-Scale Delivery: A proven track record of architecting and deploying large-scale infrastructure or distributed systems (ideally across multi-site or retail environments)
The IaC Mindset: Experience in a modern DevOps/DevSecOps environment, with hands-on knowledge of automated infrastructure provisioning
Cloud & Security Savvy: Solid comprehension of cloud-native paradigms
Deep domain expertise in at least two of the following: Edge & Hardware Lifecycle (comprehensive understanding of physical edge compute, device provisioning, and end-of-life management)
IoT Protocols & Cloud Backends (experience designing data ingestion pipelines utilizing MQTT, CoAP, or similar protocols, integrated into enterprise platforms like Azure IoT Hub)
The Pipeline Mindset (experience building and maintaining CI/CD deployment frameworks, e.g., Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, for infrastructure)
DevSecOps Integration (experience integrating static code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and policy-driven security directly into deployment pipelines)
