Summary Generated by Built In
We are seeking a senior, client-facing Salesforce Technical Architect who has grown from a hands-on Salesforce Developer into a technical leader, development manager, or architect. This person will own end-to-end technical solution design, lead delivery teams, and remain capable of diving into code, integrations, troubleshooting, and platform decisions when required.
The ideal candidate is comfortable operating at both the strategic and delivery levels: advising clients and executives, translating business priorities into scalable Salesforce architecture, guiding developers and admins, and ensuring high-quality implementation across the lifecycle. Salesforce Technical Architects are expected to design secure, high-performing, integrated solutions within the client’s broader technology.
