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.

What you’ll do

• 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 utilising 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.
