About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

The Salesforce Architecture Program is a strategic program dedicated to the success of architects. Architects are the trusted advisors and technical leaders who design and build complex, transformative solutions for our customers. Our mission is to empower, inspire, and enable the global architect community - from aspiring professionals to seasoned Salesforce Architects and Enterprise Architects at the world's largest companies.

The Salesforce Architecture Program includes the Well-Architected Framework that provides best practices and patterns architects need to build trusted, scalable, and resilient solutions. We engage with the community to understand their needs, amplify best practices through compelling content and events, and establish a feedback loop that channels their input directly into the development and evolution of the Salesforce platform.

Who You Are

You're a seasoned enterprise architect who has earned credibility in the rooms that matter - Architecture Review Boards, executive steering committees, and transformation programs at global scale. You've sat across from CISOs, CTOs, and EA leads at Fortune 500 companies and guided decisions that shaped multi-year roadmaps. You bring deep Salesforce platform expertise and know how to connect it to the broader enterprise landscape: ERPs, legacy middleware, data lakes, and the organizational complexity that defines large-scale IT.

You think in systems, patterns, and long-term value and you understand that the hardest part of enterprise architecture is the people and the processes. You've guided organizations through the cultural shifts that make digital transformation real. You're equally at home whiteboarding an integration approach, writing a definitive blog post, or facilitating a feedback session with a room full of senior technologists. You never stop learning and are among the first to extend your Salesforce Core Platform expertise into Agentforce, Data Cloud, and the broader agentic era.

You're Excited About This Role Because You Will

• Act as a peer to senior technical leaders. Engage C-level executives and Enterprise Architecture Review Boards as a credible strategic advisor - helping organizations align their Multi-Cloud Platform strategy and Composable Architecture goals with long-term digital transformation and complex legacy migrations.
• Drive architectural governance at the highest levels. Partner with Chief Information Security Officers and Privacy Officers to advise on architectural patterns that satisfy data sovereignty, security, and compliance requirements across regulated industries and global jurisdictions.
• Shape the Salesforce Architecture Program. Partner with internal teams to define content strategy, bringing a practitioner's lens to ensure everything we publish is clear, relevant, and actionable for architects working at enterprise scale.
• Bring the Well-Architected Framework to life. Create and deliver compelling content - blogs, videos, workshops, and technical demos - that makes the Well-Architected Framework practical and accessible. You'll translate Salesforce-specific patterns into industry-standard language, connecting Well-Architected principles with frameworks like TOGAF, ITIL, and COBIT.
• Own the architect experience at major events. Lead architect tracks at Dreamforce, TDX, and World Tours - delivering sessions, hands-on workshops, and the kind of peer-level conversations that senior architects actually find valuable.
• Build and enable the community. Evangelize architectural best practices at community events, deliver and evolve Architecture workshops, and enable community ambassadors to carry that work further.
• Champion the voice of the architect. Establish and manage a robust feedback loop that channels community insight directly into platform and program development.

We're Excited About You Because You Have

• Significant experience navigating Architectural Review Boards and long-term roadmap planning for global organizations - this is the foundation everything else builds on. You've held a lead architect role at a Big 4 consulting firm, a Global System Integrator, or a large enterprise, and you've used that experience to earn the trust of the senior stakeholders this role serves.
• You bring 10+ years in technology, with deep hands-on experience as a technical or enterprise architect. You have a strong command of architectural principles and frameworks and a track record designing complex, scalable, secure solutions on the Salesforce Platform. You can conduct Buy vs. Build analysis and Total Cost of Ownership modeling for large-scale transformation programs - and you know how to present those findings in a way that lands with executive audiences.
• You've created and delivered high-quality technical content: blog posts, white papers, videos, or public talks. You communicate with clarity and conviction across audiences, from engineering teams to C-suite, and you're genuinely energized by the architect community - understanding their challenges, helping them succeed, and building the programs that scale that help.
• Salesforce certifications at the System Architect and Application Architect level
• Travel up to 25% (domestic and international).

Bonus Skills

• Salesforce Certified Technical Architect.
• Familiarity with Event-Driven Architectures, Data Mesh, or Data Fabric patterns.
• Published thought leadership targeted at the EA community - integration strategy, data governance, or enterprise transformation.
• Agentblazer Legend.
