Summary

We're looking for a Salesforce Architect to provide technical leadership and shape solution architecture across Salesforce and connected enterprise systems.

Responsibilities
  • Lead architecture discussions from early discovery through delivery, helping teams define the right technical approach.
  • Design Salesforce solutions across platform capabilities, integrations, data, security, scalability, reliability, and long-term extensibility.
  • Establish and communicate architecture direction, guiding principles, standards, and reference patterns.
  • Provide governance and oversight to keep solutions aligned with approved architectural direction.
  • Create proofs of concept and prototypes to validate feasibility, explore trade-offs, and reduce delivery risk.
  • Partner with product, architecture, engineering, and delivery teams to resolve dependencies and drive alignment.
  • Mentor engineers and architects on architecture practices, platform standards, and solution design.
  • Develop and maintain architecture artifacts such as system context diagrams, integration designs, data flows, and decision records.
  • Identify architectural risks and technical debt, and help recommend practical mitigation strategies.
  • Define non-functional requirements related to security, performance, recoverability, maintainability, and operational support.
  • Support peer reviews, technical escalations, and root-cause analysis for complex issues.
  • Collaborate across teams to ensure technical decisions are documented clearly and can be supported long term.
Skills
  • 5+ years of Salesforce experience.
  • 3+ years leading solution architecture efforts and providing technical direction across cross-functional teams.
  • Strong knowledge of Salesforce architecture, including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and Financial Services Cloud.
  • Experience designing integrations, APIs, data flows, and cross-system solutions.
  • Hands-on understanding of Lightning Web Components, Apex, Apex Triggers, SOQL, Salesforce DX, REST services, and SOAP services.
  • Ability to make thoughtful architecture recommendations by balancing risk, complexity, feasibility, and long-term maintainability.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience building alignment across teams and influencing decisions without direct authority.
  • Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Commitment to continuous learning and staying current with Salesforce capabilities and architecture best practices.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent experience considered in lieu of degree.
  • Minimum of two Salesforce certifications required.
Preferred Skills
  • Salesforce Certified Application Architect or Salesforce Certified System Architect.
  • Experience defining architecture governance processes, reference patterns, and best practices.
  • Background supporting enterprise-scale platforms with multiple integrations and data domains.
  • Experience contributing to technical roadmaps and architecture standards.
  • Familiarity with financial services processes and related platform needs.
  • Strong documentation skills for capturing decisions, assumptions, trade-offs, and implementation guidance.
  • Ability to mentor others and support knowledge sharing across teams.
