We are constantly identifying industry trends and disruptions, then innovating to get ahead of future customer needs—creating application services that help the world’s leading organizations deliver their critical business apps faster and with the highest levels of flexibility, security, performance, and support.

And it produces extraordinary results—not only for our customers, but also for our employees. We understand that your life is about more than just work, so we’re committed to a culture that supports your whole life. As a Solution Architect, you will play a pivotal role in shaping transformative technology solutions that align with Go-To-Market (GTM) strategic business goals. You’ll lead the architecture and implementation of next-generation systems—especially those leveraging GenAI and emerging technologies—to drive innovation, enhance operational agility, and deliver measurable business outcomes. In this high-impact, hands-on role, you’ll work closely with Product Management, Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, and Business Stakeholders to architect scalable, secure, and future-ready solutions. You'll be a key driver of technology-led disruption, continuously identifying opportunities to challenge the status quo and modernize legacy processes. What You’ll Do:

• Architect and implement GenAI and Agentic AI solutions to power GTM capabilities such as sales enablement, customer intelligence, deal acceleration, and support automation.
• Identify opportunities to leverage emerging technologies (AI/ML, LLMs, intelligent automation, real-time data processing) to reimagine and transform GTM processes.
• Translate business and technical requirements into robust, scalable, and secure architectural blueprints aligned with enterprise strategy.
• Champion innovation by staying current with technology trends, evaluating new tools and frameworks, and bringing forward disruptive capabilities that deliver competitive advantage.
• Collaborate with Enterprise Architects, Engineers, and Product Managers to ensure architectural integrity, scalability, and performance across solutions.
• Guide solution design throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring consistency from concept through implementation.
• Ensure interoperability, high availability, compliance, and data security in all architectural designs.
• Present and defend architecture decisions and design exceptions to the Architecture Review Board (ARB).
• Drive and support proof-of-concepts, technical spikes, and evaluations of new technologies and vendor platforms.
• Develop and maintain architecture roadmaps that align with evolving GTM priorities and platform strategy.
• Mentor and consult with agile delivery teams and application architects to promote architectural best practices and standards.
• Lead the design and implementation of solutions across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS platforms in multi-cloud environments.
• Proactively identify risks related to scalability, performance, and integration, and lead mitigation planning early in the development cycle.
• Partner with engineering and support teams to resolve production issues from an architectural perspective. What You’ll Bring
• Expertise in modern GenAI/LLM technologies and frameworks, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model evaluation, and implementation within GTM business use cases.
• Proficiency in Salesforce platforms (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, AgentForce) and their extension via PaaS capabilities.
• Experience architecting solutions that modernize and automate legacy GTM processes through intelligent and emerging technologies.
• Advanced understanding of object-oriented, functional, and event-driven programming paradigms.
• Skilled in working with large datasets across heterogeneous systems and integrating data through modern data pipelines and event streaming platforms.
• Proficiency in designing and building event-driven architectures that power responsive and scalable systems.
• Strong grasp of agile development methodologies and DevOps practices.
• Demonstrated ability to build secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions aligned with enterprise standards and policies.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement skills; able to clearly articulate complex concepts to technical and business audiences.
• Leadership in cross-functional environments; ability to influence without authority and align teams around a shared architectural vision.
• Passion for innovation and technology trendspotting, with a strong track record of introducing emerging capabilities to modernize enterprise systems.
• Collaborative mindset with a track record of partnering effectively with cross-functional teams to gather business requirements and assess technical feasibility. Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree (BS/BA) in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience. A master's degree is a plus.
• 10+ years of experience in technical roles within Information Technology, including experience in enterprise environments with complex system integrations.
• 8+ years of experience as a software engineer or solutions architect, with a strong understanding of software development life cycles, architecture patterns, and engineering practices. Experience with platform engineering or DevOps is a plus.
• Hands-on experience implementing and supporting Salesforce solutions, including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and custom PaaS applications.
• Experience designing or integrating GenAI and LLM-based solutions (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models), including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and model evaluation.
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and cloud-native architecture, including microservices, containers, and serverless computing.
• Experience with modern integration patterns and tools such as APIs, messaging queues, event streams (Kafka, Pub/Sub), and ETL pipelines.
• Proficiency in software development paradigms such as object-oriented, functional, and event-driven programming.
• Strong understanding of data privacy, security, and compliance requirements, including experience implementing secure and compliant solutions in regulated environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience collaborating across business, product, and engineering teams.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, influence without authority, and drive architectural alignment across teams.
