Federal Salesforce Architect: Security & Cloud Strategy

ADP, Inc.; Arlington (VA); On-site; USD 171,000 - 209,000; Full time

Job summary

ADP, Inc. in Arlington, VA is seeking a Senior Salesforce Architect to lead the technical vision and security architecture of our Salesforce environment, with direct reports including a Salesforce Developer and Administrator.

This role requires U.S. citizenship, eligibility for Top Secret clearance, and the ability to work onsite five days per week in Arlington, VA. You will design for large data volumes, implement NIST-based controls, and coordinate with agency reviews.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in enterprise software, with 6+ years architecting Salesforce solutions and 3+ years in a FedRAMP-authorized or equivalently accredited environment.
• Demonstrated experience supporting an ATO: authoring or substantially contributing to SSP control narratives, participating in a 3PAO assessment, and owning POA&M remediation.
• Working fluency in NIST SP 800-53 control families as they apply to a SaaS/PaaS tenant
• Deep expertise in the Salesforce data model, sharing and security model, and platform governor limits.
• Strong hands-on background in Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL/SOSL, and Flow - enough to review code and challenge designs credibly.
• Experience with enterprise integration patterns and at least one middleware platform.
• Understanding of Section 508 and WCAG obligations as they constrain solution design.
• Excellent written communication. This role produces documents that auditors read; the writing standard is higher than in commercial work.
• U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain Top Secret clearance.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end solution architecture across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Public Sector Solutions, Experience Cloud, and connected systems within the accredited environment.
• Design explicitly against the Government Cloud authorized and interoperable product lists; maintain an internal register of which capabilities are available on our tier and which require risk acceptance.
• Produce and maintain architecture artifacts: logical and physical data models, system landscape diagrams, data flow diagrams (including the authorization boundary drawn on them), and integration sequence diagrams.
• Define org strategy, environment strategy, and the sandbox model - including how non-production environments are provisioned and what data may exist in them.
• Design for large data volumes and long federal retention horizons: indexing, skinny tables, archiving, and NARA-compliant records disposition.
