About Styli Marketplace
Launched in 2019 by Landmark Group, Styli Marketplace is the first e-commerce venture of the group, quickly becoming a leading online destination for fashion and lifestyle across the GCC, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and beyond.
We connect global sellers and creators with millions of fashion-forward customers, offering the latest trends, exceptional value, and convenient services like same-day to 48-hour delivery and flexible payment options.
Our mission is to make style accessible, aspirational, and exciting for all, backed by a passionate team fostering a culture of creativity and innovation.
At Styli, we aim to revolutionize fashion retail and bring unique experiences to our customers.
About The Role
As Sr.
Architect, you'll set the technical vision for how Styli scales to serve millions of customers
across MENA and beyond.
This is a hands-on leadership role - you'll define the architecture
strategy, lead our global engineering capability, and directly mentor architects and leads across
our India and Dubai hubs to build systems worthy of our long-term ambitions.
What You'Ll Do
- Define and own Styli's overall architecture strategy - backend, frontend, and operational
- excellence - aligned to a long-term high-scale product roadmap.
- Set the engineering north star: architecture principles, platform standards, and the technical
- guardrails that enable teams to move fast without breaking things.
- Lead cross-functional architecture councils - align engineering, product, data, and infra
- leadership on foundational technical decisions.
- Drive platform evolution: composable commerce, headless architecture, real-time inventory,
- personalisation infrastructure, and payments at scale.
- Own engineering operational excellence - SLOs, reliability culture, incident frameworks,
- capacity planning, and sustainable on-call practices.
- Directly mentor and grow other technical leads - build a world-class distributed architecture
- function.
- Champion FinOps: infrastructure spend visibility, cost modelling, and build-vs-buy
- decisions.
- Represent engineering architecture in leadership forums - translate technical vision to
- executives and surface strategic risks early.
- Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies - GenAI tooling, real-time data - and determine
- where they unlock business value.
- Lead AI adoption across the engineering organisation - set the strategy for AI-assisted
- development, define guardrails and standards for GenAI in production systems, and build
- the culture that makes AI a default tool across India and Dubai hubs.
Must-Haves
- 12+ years engineering · 5+ years architecture leadership
- High-scale distributed systems · Cloud platform depth
- Org-wide tech strategy · Frontend + backend + ops
- Engineering leadership · Ecommerce at scale
- Multi-team delivery · GenAI Integration
- Real time data platforms
- Great to have
- MENA / GCC market
- FinOps / cloud cost ownership
- Distributed team leadership
What Success Looks Like
- Styli's architecture is a competitive advantage - we scale faster and more reliably than
- comparable platforms.
- Engineers across hubs share a common, well-understood technical vision — no fiefdoms,
- no surprise rewrites.
- You've built an architecture function that runs without you in the room — mentored leaders
- who carry the bar forward.
- Infra and platform investments are tied to business outcomes — every major spend tells a
- clear ROI story.
