Job Description

Slalom is a fiercely human business and technology consulting company that leads with outcomes to bring more value, in all ways, always. From strategy through delivery, our agile teams across 52 offices in 12 countries partner with clients to co-create powerful customer experiences, modern ways of working, and meaningful impact.

What sets us apart? We believe work should be challenging and fulfilling, not perfect, but possible. That's why we prioritize purpose, flexibility, connection, and recognition, so our people can thrive and love what they do, most days.

Job Title: Senior Salesforce Enterprise Architect (Vacant Role)

What you'll do:

Slalom serves clients across a wide spectrum of delivery maturity, from traditional models to bleeding-edge AI-driven practices, and we partner with our clients in navigating the transformation that generative AI is driving in the modern enterprise. You'll lead the technical direction on Salesforce engagements that span a continuum of delivery models, from traditional consulting deliveries to Forward Deployed Engineering engagements, calibrated to each client's culture, ways of working, and transformational needs. You'll move fluidly across this continuum, and help clients build the operating model they need to thrive in a GenAI-reshaped market. Across every model, you combine strategic leadership with tactical delivery, anchored in a bias for delivering customer value. When an engagement calls for executive narrative or formal documentation, you produce it to drive strategic alignment and unlock outcomes.

• Lead architecture and delivery across a portfolio of strategic-tier engagements spanning financial services, public sector, health, communications, and other industries, owning the technical direction from first call through production hardening
• Mobilize, orchestrate, and lead Slalom experts from across business, industry, solutioning, and delivery disciplines on each engagement, drawing on the firm's full breadth of capability to drive innovative solutions tailored to each client's context
• Lead the technical architecture across the Salesforce product portfolio and the integrated software systems it connects to, ensuring coherence across platforms, integration patterns, identity, and data flows
• Architect Agentforce solutions end to end: agent topics, instructions, actions (Apex, Flow, Prompt, API, MuleSoft, Heroku via AppLink), retrieval and grounding through Data 360, prompt templates, and Einstein Trust Layer guardrails. Design for the Atlas Reasoning Engine with deterministic guardrails around non-deterministic reasoning
• Model Data 360 as the grounding layer for Agentforce: data streams, identity resolution, calculated insights, data spaces, and zero-copy federation to Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift
• Architect for data sovereignty: Hyperforce residency, Shield Platform Encryption with BYOK, identity and SSO design, and the regulatory frame applicable to each engagement
• Apply Slalom's AI-accelerated engineering frameworks alongside industry-standard architecture frameworks, respecting Salesforce Well-Architected principles and other industry good practices, to translate ambiguous business outcomes into platform architectures that hold up under scale, regulatory pressure, and product evolution
• Lead with AI tooling: Agentforce Vibes (Plan and Act modes, Claude AI), the Salesforce DX MCP Server, Code Analyzer, and AI assistants (ex: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot) connected through APIs and MCP
• Design and govern evaluation frameworks for the agents and code your team ships (precision, recall, escalation rate, hallucination rate, time-to-production)
• Provide architecture governance across a portfolio of Salesforce engagements; chair architecture review boards; act as the technical sign-off authority on solution design, integration patterns, and production readiness
• Shape SOWs, architecture, and pricing posture for strategic pursuits alongside our Go-to-Market and capability leaders, Client Partners, and industry experts. Author technical proposals and defend architecture in the room with senior leaders and stakeholders
• Translate field signals from your engagements back into Slalom accelerators, delivery methods, and Salesforce product feedback
• Coach and mentor architects, senior developers, and other delivery team members
• Drive innovation and team development through our internal communities of practice, personal development, performance management, and/or other operational processes
• Influence, contribute to, and operationalize our capability strategy
• Build external eminence: participate in and speak at TrailblazerDX, Dreamforce, Toronto World Tour, Salesforce User Groups, and comparable forums; publish reference architectures and field finding.

What You'll Bring:

• A willingness to continuously learn, grow, and improve; with the ability to expand and maintain your skillset to meet or exceed all of the below requirements and adapt to the future needs of your role, and operate at the pace of industry-leading technology advances
• 15+ years of total solution delivery experience and 8+ years as a Salesforce architect, with at least three production deployments at multi-million-record scale, multi-org topology, or both
• Hands-on Agentforce experience: Agent Builder, Prompt Builder, Model Builder, agent topics and actions, Atlas Reasoning Engine fluency, Einstein Trust Layer configuration (Zero Data Retention, masking, prompt defense, audit), and evaluation framework design
• Data 360 architecture depth: Customer 360 Semantic Data Model, identity resolution, calculated insights, data spaces, segmentation, zero-copy federation, and Intelligent Context for unstructured grounding
• Modern workflow automation fluency: Apex and Flow; Best practices and enterprise frameworks
• Modern UI fluency: Lightning Web Components, Lightning Web Security, Lightning Record Pages, Dynamic Forms; Experience Cloud on Lightning Web Runtime; familiarity with Salesforce Headless 360 and the Agentforce Experience Layer
• Modern integration competencies: familiarity with Salesforce technologies such as Platform Events and Change Data Capture; and concepts such as PubSub, event-driven architecture, microservices, data meshes, and ESBs
• Security and platform-trust depth: Salesforce data sharing and visibility, Shield Platform Encryption, Hyperforce data residency; IAM and SSO
• Salesforce DX, packaging, and DevOps depth: CI/CD, sf CLI, scratch orgs, source-driven development, 2GP unlocked and managed packages; Next-Generation DevOps Center and the broader DevOps tooling landscape (Gearset, Copado, AutoRABIT)
• Daily fluency with AI-augmented developer tooling: Agentforce Vibes, the Salesforce DX MCP Server, Code Analyzer, ApexGuru; comfort connecting Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot through APIs and MCP
• Certification baseline: Salesforce Architect-level certifications, Agentforce Specialist; Data 360 Consultant; Domain relevant certifications (ex: Agile, architecture frameworks, other enterprise technology platforms) a plus
• Operating mode: comfort working without a playbook, on pre-GA features, in customer environments where the right answer is not in the documentation. Equal facility moving between strategic conversations with senior leaders and stakeholders and hands-on debugging sessions. Bias to ship
• Willingness and ability to expand technical acumen beyond the Salesforce platform into other enterprise automation platforms (such as ServiceNow and Adobe), with the capacity to lead on multi-platform enterprise initiatives where Salesforce is one component of a broader technology portfolio
