Duration: 12 Months Contract.
Job Description:
Architecture & solution design
• Own the end-to-end Salesforce architecture across Sales, Service, Experience, Marketing and Financial Services Cloud, from discovery through go-live.
• Translate business goals — faster customer onboarding, 360° customer view, service deflection — into scalable data models and solution designs.
• Set org strategy, environment and release management, and technical-debt guardrails.
Application integration
• Design integration architecture between Salesforce and core business systems — ERP, billing, payments, data platforms and, for financial clients, core banking and loan origination.
• Choose the right pattern for each flow: real-time APIs, event-driven (Platform Events, Change Data Capture), batch/ETL or middleware orchestration.
• Lead API-led design on MuleSoft (or equivalent iPaaS), including API contracts, error handling, retries, idempotency and monitoring.
• Define identity and access integration (SSO, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML) across customer and staff channels.
Security, compliance & data
• Build security, privacy and auditability into every design: sharing model, field-level encryption (Shield), event monitoring and data retention.
• Partner with compliance teams on regulatory requirements and vendor risk reviews.
• Drive data migration, data quality and master-data strategy across systems of record.
Leadership & client engagement
• Act as the trusted technical advisor to client CIOs, CTOs and business sponsors.
• Support pre-sales: scope solutions, size effort, write technical proposals and present architectures.
• Lead design reviews, mentor developers and admins, and enforce coding and integration standards.
Must-have qualifications
• 10+ years in enterprise application development or architecture, including 6+ years hands-on with Salesforce.
• Led architecture on at least 3 full-lifecycle Salesforce implementations, ideally in multi-cloud or multi-org setups.
• Deep expertise in application integration: REST/SOAP APIs, Salesforce APIs (Bulk, Streaming, Pub/Sub), Platform Events, Change Data Capture and Named Credentials.
• Hands-on with at least one integration platform: MuleSoft (preferred), Boomi, Informatica, Azure Integration Services or similar.
• Strong Salesforce platform depth: data modelling, Apex, LWC, Flow, sharing and security model, governor limits and large-data-volume design.
• Proven record designing secure integrations with sensitive data: encryption, OAuth 2.0, SSO and audit trails.
• Comfortable owning conversations with executives and translating technical trade-offs into business impact.
• Experience with DevOps for Salesforce: Git, CI/CD, scratch orgs or DevOps Center, Copado or Gearset.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent experience.
