We power personalization for more than 1,400 global brands, including American Eagle, Sonepar, and Pandora. We're building a team of Product Architects at Bloomreach. As a Senior Staff Product Architect, you own or co-own the architecture of a single product , with deliberate overlap across related products so architecture stays aligned where our products meet. You are a product builder first. This is not a role for someone who cares about technology for its own sake: you take genuine part in defining the product — what it should be, who it's for, why it matters — and you bring system-level technical judgment into that definition, not after it. You sit at the intersection of product and engineering: close enough to product decisions to co-shape them, and close enough to the code to know what you're talking about — you'll spend 20–30% of your time hands-on , coding or prototyping. AI runs through everything you'll build. Our products are, to varying degrees, AI-led, and the architecture you own decides how well they get to be. You'll work with internal AI foundations such as our knowledge graph, and you'll use AI daily as a tool of your own craft — in design, prototyping, and analysis. It's a rare shape of seniority: director-level scope and impact, zero direct reports . If you've led engineering teams and want your leverage back in product and technical judgment rather than people management, this role was designed for you. You will work remotely (from Czechia / Slovakia) , but we are more than happy to meet you in our nice offices in Bratislava, Brno or Prague . What you'll do • Co-define the product with product managers and UX — from the earliest ideation through shaping. You're in the room before the roadmap is set, contributing to what we build and why , not only how • Constructively challenge PRDs and provide formal technical input and recommendations before work is prioritized • Lead or facilitate technical shaping of initiatives, matching your involvement to their complexity, with a clear escalation path to the VPs of Product and Engineering • Architect AI-led product capabilities — decide where AI belongs in the product, how it's grounded in our data and internal foundations (such as the knowledge graph), and how it stays reliable, safe, and cost-effective at scale • Maintain the architectural runway — keep enabling technical work identified and ready ahead of the roadmap, so product ambitions never stall on foundations • Own key technical tradeoffs and non-functional requirements for your product: scalability, reliability, security, cost • Drive cross-product architectural alignment through our architecture chapter, growing its review and challenge culture over time • Stay hands-on (20–30%) throug
