Job Description
The Principal Salesforce Architect (US) reports to the Director of Enterprise Architecture and works remotely on a full-time basis. The architect partners with IT, product teams and senior executives to shape the enterprise domain taxonomy, the structure that links core business capabilities to the applications supporting them. The goal is to align business and technology so that modernizing critical applications follows the business domains they serve.
The architect sets the Salesforce technical strategy, covering design, development, integration and upkeep. Enterprise guidance is written to explain standard practice, reusable patterns and typical mistakes, and the architecture review process is run with checklists and artifact reviews. The architect builds business capability models, produces target-state architectures, runs assessments and gap analyses, and tests new tools through proofs of concept. Recommendations favor options that are both robust and affordable.
Hands-on delivery is included. The architect manages the technical work on custom integrations and data migration inside Salesforce implementations, and works with data and integration architects to keep information accurate, secure and moving correctly between systems. The role also helps build an internal community of practice in enterprise architecture.
Applicants need a computing, IT or related degree and at least five years as a senior domain or enterprise architect. Having led at least two large Product-to-Cash implementations, and designed complex B2B SaaS Salesforce solutions, is expected. No salary is stated.
