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

You'll be the technical compass for engineering teams building Styli's next chapter. Partnering

closely with product, platform, and multiple engg squads, you'll ensure every system we ship -

from storefront or supply chain - is designed for the scale that our growth ambitions demand.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own end-to-end architectural decisions across backend services, frontend platforms, and

infrastructure - ensuring systems are scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient.

Define and champion engineering standards, design patterns, and architectural principles

that teams actually want to follow.

Lead architecture reviews - evaluate new proposals, identify risks early, and guide squads

toward the right trade-offs.

Drive backend excellence: microservices design, API contracts, data modelling, event-

driven architecture, and performance at scale.

Partner with frontend leads to shape component architecture, state management, and web

performance standards across web and app.

Collaborate with DevOps/SRE on cloud infrastructure, deployment strategies, observability,

cost and reliability best practices.

Act as a technical mentor - build architectural thinking and engineering craft across the

India team.

Translate product ambitions and growth targets into concrete technical roadmaps with clear

milestones.

Drive AI adoption across engineering squads - embed AI-assisted development practices

(coding copilots, code review, test generation) into team workflows, and identify

opportunities to apply GenAI in the products and platforms we build.
