Enterprise Architect

Description: Define target-state architecture and multi-year technology roadmaps for assigned business domains, aligned to CP ALL Group strategy and Gosoft's enterprise architecture principles.
Establish and maintain architecture standards, reference architectures, design patterns and technology guardrails; keep them current as the landscape evolves.
Chair or contribute to the Architecture Review Board review and approve solution designs, ensuring compliance with security, data-privacy (PDPA), regulatory and operational requirements.
Own the technology radar: evaluate emerging platforms and vendors, run proofs of concept, and make evidence-based adopt / trial / hold recommendations.
Actively manage technical debt maintain a visible register, quantify its business impact, and secure funding for remediation within the delivery portfolio.
Solution Design & Delivery.
Lead end-to-end architecture for complex, cross-domain programmes: requirement analysis, solution options, trade-off analysis, high-level and detailed design, and non-functional requirements.
Produce clear architecture artefacts context and container diagrams, sequence flows, data models, integration contracts, deployment topologies and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
Define non-functional requirements (availability, scalability, latency, RPO/RTO, observability, security) and validate that delivered solutions meet them under peak retail load.
Remain hands-on where it matters: prototype critical components, review code and infrastructure-as-code at key checkpoints, and troubleshoot high-severity production architecture issues.
Partner with delivery leads on estimation, sequencing, dependency management and release strategy; keep architecture decisions in step with delivery reality.
Retail, Commerce & Enterprise Systems.
Architect solutions across the retail value chain POS and store systems, omnichannel commerce, order management, delivery and fulfilment, loyalty, payments, merchandising, supply chain and ERP.
Design for the operational realities of a 15,000-store estate: intermittent connectivity, edge and offline-first store systems, phased nationwide rollout, and zero-downtime migration from legacy platforms.
Lead modernisation of legacy and monolithic systems, defining pragmatic decomposition, strangler-pattern migration and coexistence strategies.
Evaluate build-versus-buy decisions and lead technical due diligence on vendor and package solutions, including commercial and lock-in considerations.
Cloud, Platform & Integration.
Define cloud and hybrid architecture patterns across public cloud and Gosoft's Tier IV data centre, including workload placement, resilience, disaster recovery and cost optimisation (FinOps).
Architect cloud-native and microservices solutions using containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift), service mesh, and event-driven patterns with Kafka or equivalent streaming platforms.
Own the enterprise integration and API strategy API gateway and management, REST/GraphQL/gRPC standards, messaging, and canonical data contracts between domains.
Embed DevSecOps and platform-engineering practice: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, progressive delivery, observability, and security scanning across the SDLC.
Design for security by default: zero-trust principles, identity and access management, secrets management, encryption, and secure-by-design review of every solution.
Data & AI.
Architect enterprise data platforms data lakehouse, warehousing, batch and real-time pipelines, master data management and data governance across retail and customer domains.
Define architecture for analytics, BI and machine-learning workloads, including MLOps pipelines, feature stores, model serving and monitoring.
Design and govern the adoption of AI and generative-AI capabilities (RAG, agentic workflows, LLM integration), with clear guardrails for data privacy, cost, evaluation and responsible use.
Ensure data architecture supports PDPA compliance, data lineage, quality and retention requirements end to end.
Qualifications & Experience Required.
Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology or a related field.
8+ years in software engineering and solution architecture, including at least 3 years in a lead, principal or enterprise architect capacity.
Demonstrable track record architecting and delivering large-scale, high-availability, high-transaction-volume systems in production.
Deep expertise across distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architecture, API design and integration patterns.
Strong hands-on background in at least one major stack (Java/Spring Boot,.NET, Node.js, Go or Python) and the ability to review code credibly.
Production experience with public cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP), containers and Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm or equivalent).
Solid grounding in data architecture relational and NoSQL databases, streaming (Kafka), data warehousing/lakehouse, and modern data pipeline design.
Working knowledge of security architecture, identity and access management, and Thailand's PDPA and related regulatory requirements.
Proven ability to produce clear architecture documentation and to influence stakeholders from engineer to executive level.
Professional working proficiency in English and Thai.
