OMS Platform Reliability Lead

he OMS Platform Reliability Lead is a highly technical role responsible for the health stability and automated evolution of the Fluent Commerce Order Management ecosystem. Unlike a traditional operations role this position leans heavily into Systems Engineering requiring the ability to read and debug Java extensions design complex GraphQL mutations and build automated remediation tools for the RUN team.

You will manage the technical RUN support team and serve as the bridge between software engineering and IT operations. Your primary focus is to transition from manual support to Self-Healing operations by implementing automation for order replays data deduplication and predictive alerting.

Technical Automation & Self-Healing Operations:

• Order Remediation Automation: Design and implement automated Order Replay mechanisms within Fluent Commerce to resolve synchronization failures between event-driven integrations without manual intervention.
• Enhanced Observability: Build advanced telemetry dashboards (using tools like Splunk Datadog or New Relic) to monitor GraphQL query performance API latency and webhook success rates.
• Smart Alerting: Design and tune threshold-based alerting for the RUN team to identify Stuck Orders or inventory mismatches before they impact the customer experience.
• Tooling Development: Script custom utilities using the Fluent Commerce SDK or REST APIs to facilitate bulk updates and system cleanups.

Technical Incident Management & Platform Monitoring:

• Deep-Dive Troubleshooting: Act as the ultimate technical escalation point for incidents requiring code-level analysis of Java custom extensions or complex GraphQL mutations.
• Root Cause Engineering: Lead technical Root Cause Analysis (RCA) by performing deep-dives into application logs and event-driven architecture to identify architectural bottlenecks.
• Performance Tuning: Analyze API response times and database interaction patterns to propose platform optimizations to the development team.
• ITSM Compliance: Oversee the incident management lifecycle ensuring documentation includes code-level workarounds and technical bug-fixes for future reference.

Stakeholder & Vendor Engineering Collaboration:

• Technical Liaison: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for E-commerce and architecture teams to ensure operational requirements are included in the dev roadmap.
• Vendor Management: Collaborate with Fluent Commerce product engineers to align on platform upgrades and API versioning impacts.
• Team Leadership: Mentor the RUN support team in technical skills including GraphQL query optimization and Java debugging.

Change Management & Release Integrity:

• Technical Oversight: Validate technical configurations and platform extensions during the release cycle to ensure deployment integrity and performance stability.
• CI/CD Awareness: Manage version control using GIT ensuring proper branching strategies for operational hotfixes and configuration changes.

• Education: Bachelors degree in Computer Science Software Engineering or a related technical field.
• Experience: 5 years in OMS Technical Operations or Platform Engineering with specific experience in high-volume event-driven SaaS environments.
• Fluent Commerce Expertise preferred: Advanced technical knowledge of Fluent Commerce (specifically Webhooks Essential Rules and the Fluent GraphQL API)
• Core Technical Stack:
  • Java: Proficiency in reading debugging and identifying performance issues in custom Java extensions.
  • GraphQL: Expert proficiency in query/mutation design including the use of aliases fragments and variables for complex data manipulation.
  • Integration: Comprehensive understanding of RESTful architectures JSON schemas and event-driven patterns (Pub/Sub Kafka or Event Grid).
  • Observability: Experience with monitoring tools such as Datadog Splunk ELK Stack or New Relic.
  • GIT: Deep experience with repository management and deployment pipelines.
• Process Knowledge: Strong mastery of ITIL with an SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) mindset-focusing on automation over manual toil.
• Analytical Skills: Ability to parse complex system logs and use data to drive proactive stability improvements.
• Communication: Ability to explain a race condition or API timeout to a business stakeholder in terms of revenue and customer impact.
