Champion the use of Agentic Commerce patterns—autonomous shopping agents, proactive assistant bots, and AI-driven fulfillment orchestration—to create frictionless, next-gen shopping experiences.
Integrate commerce ecosystems with real-time decision engines, customer data platforms (CDPs), recommendation systems, and AI models to drive adaptive journeys.
Partner with product, engineering, and data science teams to implement AI across the customer lifecycle—from acquisition and engagement to loyalty and retention.
Define architectural principles to scale AI/ML use cases, leveraging cloud-native platforms (GCP, AWS), serverless models, and data mesh strategies.
Ensure architecture enables real-time signals processing (e.g., clickstream, IoT, POS), contextual understanding, and action-triggering across commerce surfaces.
Lead architectural reviews and governance for AI-based and connected commerce projects.
Guide experimentation with GenAI, LLMs, and autonomous agents in commerce, marketing, and fulfillment use cases.
Collaborate with data, privacy, and compliance teams to align AI-powered experiences with data governance and ethical AI frameworks.

Digital Experience Platforms (CMS, DAM, PIM)
Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), Loyalty & Personalization Engines
Retail POS, OMS, and Fulfillment Systems
Deep knowledge of cloud-native architectures, microservices, event-driven systems (Kafka, GCP Pub/Sub), and serverless patterns.
Experience integrating AI/ML services into customer-facing applications, preferably in real-time or large-scale environments.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Agentic AI frameworks or commerce focused LLMs.
Familiarity with AI platforms like Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, or similar.

What We Do
In 1969, Don and Doris Fisher opened the first Gap store on Ocean Avenue in San Francisco. They wanted to make it easier to find a great pair of jeans, and they did. Their denim and records store was a hit, and it grew to become one of the world’s most iconic brands.
Today we’re represented in more than 1400 stores in over 40 countries, and online. We have headquarters in New York, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, and, of course, San Francisco.
Our unique aesthetic is optimistic cool, elevated American style. Our clothes are crafted with care, with focused attention to thoughtful design. We believe in staying true to our heritage while creating what’s next.
Don and Doris Fisher always wanted to “do more than sell clothes.” They wanted to support the people who ran their company, to be active in their communities, and to have a positive impact on the world. Their vision helped transform retail, and we’re still following their lead.
We stand for freedom and possibility for all; we champion diverse ideas that transcend generations, geographies and genders.
