AI E-commerce Solutions Architect

Who are we?Tom&Co is an e-commerce agency that has gone AI-first. We design, build and grow online stores for brands like Topps Tiles, Oliver Bonas and Agent Provocateur, plus many more across Fashion, Homeware, Luxury, Gifting, Outdoors, Food and Charity.We’ve rebuilt the way we work around AI, and Claude is at the centre of it. Our team works across a fully integrated Claude setup – Claude Code for building, Cowork for research, documentation and delivery, shared skills that capture how we work, and MCP connectors that plug Claude into the tools we and our clients use every day. It’s how we scope, design, build, test and support everything we deliver. We think it’s the most interesting time to be in this industry, and we’re looking for people who feel the same.The roleWe’re looking for an AI Solutions Architect to take responsibility for delivering our e-commerce builds – from the first discovery session through architecture, build and launch – and to lead our retainer clients afterwards.You’ll be the person our clients trust. You’ll sit down with them, get to the bottom of what they actually need, shape the right solution and then make it happen – building the simpler pieces yourself with Claude. For the bigger and more complex work, you’ll have a full team behind you – project managers, designers, QA and AI-enabled developers. You’ll own the outcome – the solution, the timeline and the quality of what goes live – with the directors on hand to back you up.This is a new kind of role and we are very excited about introducing it. If you’re a developer who enjoys talking to clients, a technical BA who has started building things, or a solutions consultant who wants to get hands-on again, we’d love to hear from you. There’s plenty of room to grow.Why this role is differentEmpowered but not on your own. With Claude doing a lot of the heavy lifting, you can get far more done yourself – and when the work gets bigger or more complex, you’ve got a project manager, designers, QA and developers right behind you.The full Claude toolkit. You’ll work with Claude Code, Cowork, skills, connectors and agents every day – not as a side experiment, but as the way we deliver.Real ownership. You’ll own full e-commerce builds from the first conversation to go-live and beyond, with the freedom to decide how they get done.Permission to experiment. New Claude features and models arrive all the time. We want you to try them, find what works and turn it into the way we all work.A seat at the table.
