Core Job Function: A Salesforce Architect helps design and deliver healthy implementations for enterprise-grade customers using Salesforce products. The primary responsibility is to recommend the best solution for a given set of requirements and articulate the trade-offs involved in choosing one solution over another. With Salesforce, there is never just one way to solve a problem. It’s the Salesforce Architect’s responsibility to choose the solution that will hold up over time, that will scale as the number of users increases and won’t acquire lots of technical debt or require manual changes as time goes on.
Skills Required: To excel as a Salesforce Architect requires a big-picture thinker and also an in-depth problem solver. An architect must have broad and deep technical knowledge but they also need to possess listening, communication, and presentation soft skills. An architect needs to know how to read code and recommend coding best practices since they are often managing teams that include developers. More importantly, an architect must know when to code but also when not to code. Having expertise in the declarative (clicks not code) side of the platform can separate a good architect from a great one.Architects often bring knowledge and expertise in integrating Salesforce with other technologies and vice versa, as well as experience with governance and development operations. Ultimately, architects blend their technical expertise and business acumen to empower business and IT to work together towards a stronger future.Typical Responsibilities:
Act as a trusted advisor and leader who partners with business stakeholders and executives to design a vision and architecture for a solution to a business problem. Educate the team with technical best practices. Translate business needs to a technical vision that teams of low code or pro code builders can execute. Identify the optimal solution for a business requirement and recommend using clicks, code, or a combination of both depending on the business use case. Build proofs-of-concept (POCs) that teams can further iterate on. Design the organization strategy and data model for a Salesforce implementation. Put technical solutions in place for identity and access, implement data and process integrations, and design solutions that account for large data volumes and data privacy needs. Produce system architecture diagrams, process flows, entity relationship diagrams, integration maps, etc.
