DESCRIPTION

Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) is the next generation suite of API-based automation functionality for Amazon's Selling Partners, evolving from the Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS) APIs. These APIs enable sellers to programmatically list, sell and exchange data on Amazon.

The Luxury Stores team is seeking an experienced and self-motivated Sr. Solutions Architect who will shape the future of luxury retail on Amazon. As a trusted technical advisor, you will lead integration projects for luxury brands while working with internal cross-functional partners (e.g., Business Development, Product, Marketing and Engineering) to drive innovation and adoption of API solutions.

The ideal candidate possesses a unique balance of technical depth and customer-facing experience, with the ability to assess opportunities both within and beyond SP-API implementations and drive adoption across organizations ranging from emerging brands to established enterprises. You will need to stay current with emerging technologies, industry trends, and competitive offerings to identify potential API gaps and opportunities that could enhance the luxury retail experience. You must be comfortable building and maintaining technical credibility with diverse stakeholders, from API Developers and Solution Architects to Product Managers and C-level executives.

Success in this role requires the ability to think strategically about business, products, and technical challenges while delivering measurable business value. You will investigate and evaluate solutions across various technical domains, including but not limited to APIs, cloud services, e-commerce platforms, and retail technologies. You will thrive in ambiguity and define solutions that are extensible to broader contexts and use cases, while maintaining the high standards expected in the luxury retail space.
