Salesforce Architect

Description

We are looking for a Salesforce Architect to lead the design and delivery of scalable Salesforce solutions that support complex, business-critical operations in San Antonio, Texas. This role blends architecture, engineering, and hands-on platform leadership, requiring someone who can shape technical direction while contributing directly to implementation quality. The ideal candidate brings strong expertise across Salesforce clouds, integrations, data architecture, and security, and can turn evolving requirements into practical, resilient solutions.

Responsibilities:
Lead architectural planning for Salesforce platforms and connected enterprise applications, ensuring each solution aligns with technical standards and long-term business goals.
Create end-to-end solution designs that cover system interactions, data structures, security controls, and implementation patterns across multiple Salesforce products.
Evaluate when to use configuration-based features versus custom development to deliver maintainable, secure, and scalable outcomes.
Participate directly in complex platform delivery by supporting advanced configuration, reviewing Apex and Lightning components, and guiding automation design.
Oversee technical design reviews and code quality practices to promote consistency, documentation discipline, and reusable development standards.
Resolve challenging production issues involving integrations, performance, data accuracy, and access controls across the Salesforce ecosystem.
Design and govern integration approaches using APIs, middleware platforms, and event-driven mechanisms to support reliable data exchange with external systems.
Define data architecture strategies, including migration planning, transformation rules, governance considerations, and analytics readiness.
Partner with security and identity teams to implement authentication, authorization, and sharing models that meet compliance and privacy expectations.
Drive platform optimization efforts, proof-of-concept development, and technical debt reduction initiatives to improve system stability and delivery speed.

Requirements

7+ years of experience designing and delivering Salesforce solutions in architecture, development, or enterprise platform roles.
Strong hands-on knowledge of Salesforce administration, configuration, development, and implementation across the Lightning Platform.
Proven experience with Apex, Salesforce APIs, integration design, and enterprise application architecture.
Background in building or supporting integrations using REST or SOAP services, middleware, and event-based patterns.
Solid understanding of Salesforce security architecture, role-based access, data modeling, and governance best practices.
Experience working with cloud and enterprise technologies such as AWS, .NET, ASP.NET, or related application ecosystems.
Ability to lead technical reviews, communicate architectural decisions clearly, and support delivery in multi-stakeholder environments.
