Manhattan Active Architect

Platform Solution Architect – Manhattan Active Platform

Location: Remote (must work EST hours)

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with business stakeholders (Retail, e-Commerce, Supply Chain, IT) to translate business requirements (omnichannel order management, fulfillment, store inventory, supply chain execution) into a coherent solution architecture leveraging Manhattan Active Platform capabilities.
• Define end-to-end solution flows: from sales channel integration, order capture, inventory visibility, fulfillment optimization, through to delivery and returns — aligning with the platform’s unified commerce model.
• Design microservices integrations, APIs, event-driven flows and external system interfaces (ERP, CRM, TMS, WMS, POS, storefronts) to ensure seamless data and process orchestration.
• Define and maintain solution architecture artefacts: logical / physical diagrams, interface definitions, data mappings, configuration strategy (no-code/low-code/your-code extensions) in the Manhattan Active® Platform environment.
• Provide technical governance: review systems and integration designs, ensure scalability, reliability, maintainability, security, high-availability, disaster-recovery aligned with platform best practices (e.g., containerization, Kubernetes, fault-tolerance).
• Serve as a subject-matter expert for the Manhattan Active® Platform: staying current on new releases (quarterly cadence), advising on configuration vs customization decisions, guiding low-code/no-code vs custom extension trade-offs.
• Provide architectural input into the roadmap: identify gaps, propose enhancements, align future platform capabilities with our business strategy.
