we are looking for an experienced Salesforce Solution Architect to lead the technical design and delivery of large-scale, enterprise Salesforce implementations with a strong focus on Service Cloud and Agentforce.

business and service operations requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable Salesforce architectures.

Technical Delivery & Governance
- Lead technical design reviews, architecture walkthroughs, and solution sign‑offs with client and delivery stakeholders.
- Guide and mentor developers and technical consultants on implementation patterns, code quality, and platform limits.
- Define and oversee integration architecture (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware, event‑driven patterns) between Salesforce and enterprise systems.
- Own non‑functional requirements — performance, scalability, security, and data governance — across the solution lifecycle.
