Salesforce Technical Architect

Location: San Francisco (On-site) (Potential of Hybrid)

Compensation: Up to $350,000 total annual compensation (Base + Bonus/Equity, DOE)

Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a fast-growing SaaS company entering a major greenfield Salesforce implementation. This is a high-impact leadership role where you will architect and build the Salesforce ecosystem from the ground up, owning the technical vision, platform scalability, and long-term enterprise architecture strategy.

This is not a maintenance role. This is a foundational build.

The Role

We are seeking a Salesforce Technical Architect with:

• 10+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience

• 4+ years in architectural leadership roles

• Proven experience leading large-scale enterprise implementations

• Deep expertise across the full lifecycle: Discovery ? Design ? Build ? Integration ? Deployment ? Optimization ? Ongoing Support

You will serve as the technical authority responsible for designing a scalable, secure, enterprise-grade Salesforce architecture aligned to long-term business growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead architecture design for a full greenfield Salesforce implementation

• Define system architecture, integration patterns, data models, and governance frameworks

• Own end-to-end solution design from business discovery through post-go-live optimization

• Lead and mentor a team of developers, admins, and consultants

• Establish best practices across CI/CD, DevOps, code quality, and technical standards

• Design enterprise integrations across internal systems and third-party platforms (API-led, event-driven, middleware, etc.)

• Ensure scalability, security, performance optimization, and technical debt management

• Partner with executive stakeholders to translate business vision into platform strategy

Required Experience

• 10+ years hands-on Salesforce development (Apex, LWC, Visualforce, APIs, Integrations)

• 4+ years in a Salesforce Technical Architect or equivalent leadership role

• Experience leading enterprise-scale implementations (multi-cloud, multi-org, high data volume environments)

• Strong background in Sales Cloud and Service Cloud

• Extensive experience with complex integrations (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware platforms)

• Deep knowledge of data architecture and large data migrations

• Experience implementing DevOps tooling and CI/CD pipelines

• Strong understanding of Salesforce governor limits, platform constraints, and enterprise design patterns

• Demonstrated experience leading technical teams and influencing executive stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Salesforce certifications strongly preferred (Application Architect, System Architect, CTA ideal)

• Experience within high-growth SaaS environments

• Experience building scalable architectures to support rapid headcount and revenue growth

• Strong documentation and solution design presentation skills

What Makes This Role Compelling

• True greenfield ownership – build the architecture correctly from day one

• Executive-level visibility and strategic impact

• High-growth SaaS environment with aggressive expansion plans

• Compensation up to $350,000 annually

• Opportunity to shape the long-term technical roadmap and architecture standards

If you are a deeply technical Salesforce leader who still enjoys being hands-on while driving architectural strategy at scale, this is an opportunity to build something foundational and long-lasting.
