Job Summary:
We are looking for a hands-on Sr. Solution Architect to lead the design and delivery of Salesforce solutions across Sales Cloud, Revenue Cloud, and Agentforce, with deep ownership of the Lead-to-Quote process. This is a builder role: you will provide both strategic architectural leadership and hands-on technical guidance, building scalable solutions using a mix of Salesforce (Sales Cloud, Revenue Cloud, CPQ) and custom AI agents (Agentforce and Claude) to enhance quoting accuracy, accelerate deal approvals, and ensure compliance.
Show full description
You'll bring an AI-first mindset, leveraging AI and Agentic AI technologies alongside modern engineering practices — including hands-on use of Cursor for AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery and elevate solution quality across the team, while actively participating in technical reviews and complex problem-solving aligned to enterprise standards and best practices.
Key Responsibilities:
Own end-to-end architecture and delivery of scalable Salesforce solutions across Sales Cloud, Revenue Cloud / CPQ — spanning the full Lead-to-Quote lifecycle — through architectural designs, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts, demonstrating solution functionality to business stakeholders.
Translate ambiguous business requirements into clear, well-architected technical designs — data model, automation, integration patterns, and UX — that scale across the organization.
Design and build custom Agentforce agents as well as custom agents built directly on Claude.
Lead discovery and requirements-gathering workshops to gather, define, and document current and future state business processes and functional requirements for Sales Cloud and Revenue Cloud — delivering compelling presentations, architectural blueprint documents, environment management plans, and development policies that influence project strategy and lead business stakeholders through solution design.
Use Cursor and other AI-assisted development tools as a standard part of the build process, and help raise the bar on engineering velocity and code quality across the team.
Define and coordinate SIT/UAT test plans for Lead-to-Quote and CPQ workflows; support enablement, admin guides, and training materials.
Ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and compliance requirements (e.g., SOX) and support downstream reporting and audit needs.
Collaborate with integration/middleware teams to define patterns connecting Salesforce with ERP and other downstream systems.
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (Sales, Deal Desk, Channel, IT) to prioritize and sequence the Salesforce roadmap.
Implement Design Registration workflows to support distributor/partner-led deal identification, approval, and protection — ensuring channel deals follow pre-defined approval paths and pricing rules.
