Job description

About Us

At DX Foundation, where we're not just Salesforce consultants - we're architects of the digital future. Our mission is to empower businesses to unlock the full potential of their customer relationships through innovative digital experiences.

As a cross-cloud Salesforce partner with a focus, our focus isn't just on technology - it's on crafting a digital journey that enhances customer, user, and IT experiences. We lead with advisory services, ingraining best practices and strategic thinking into every implementation.

At DXF, we specialize in elevating the Salesforce experience for businesses of all sizes. Our core expertise lies in integrating strategic advisory, best practices, and tailored strategies into every Salesforce implementation. By focusing on the overall digital experience, we ensure that the solutions we provide are not just technically sound but also enhance the customer and user journey.

We are seeking a skilled Principal Architect to join our dynamic team, serving as the senior technical leader who owns and drives end-to-end (e2e) Salesforce projects from pre-sales through successful delivery and ongoing value realization. This role combines deep architectural expertise with strong business acumen to craft future-ready digital experiences that optimize customer, user, and IT interactions – leveraging Salesforce, Data Cloud, AI/agentic systems, and integrations with platforms like Snowflake and Databricks.

What You Will Do

• Lead pre-sales efforts by developing compelling technical narratives and proven talk tracks that directly connect Salesforce solutions to business outcomes, including ROI calculations, revenue lift projections, capex reduction, break-even analysis, and P&L impact.
• Architect and deliver enterprise-class Salesforce implementations (with Financial Services Cloud experience as a strong plus), ensuring seamless integration across the ecosystem while addressing complex data pipelining, database development, production-grade code, and data movement challenges.
• Demonstrate a solid software development background – having built and shipped enterprise production systems (beyond just Salesforce) – with hands‑on experience in complex queries, scalable pipelines, and ensuring production reliability.
• Take ownership of project and team leadership: guide cross-functional teams through both waterfall and agile methodologies, clearly articulate the differences, oversee team success, and be heavily involved in delivery (not just solo contribution).
• Connect business and technology fluently: create unified narratives that address customer experience (CX), user experience (UX), and IT experience (ITX) throughout the solution lifecycle – e.g., mapping a common conversion funnel and detailing user/IT involvement at each stage.
• Show genuine passion for technology and continuous learning – curiosity-driven, with personal exploration of emerging tools like AI agents, Google Vertex AI, Agentforce, MoltBot, and related innovations.
• Keep up with and increasingly apply modern data/AI platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, agentic systems) as DX Foundation shifts focus on governing AI foundations, real-time insights, and automation.
• Independently produce visually engaging presentations and materials, leveraging graphic design skills to clarify complex ideas and make them compelling without external support.

Your Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Broad, versatile experience spanning enterprise architecture, software development, business strategy, pre-sales, and customer relationship management.
• Proven track record building enterprise-class production code, data pipelines, databases, and complex queries (not Salesforce-limited).
• Hands-on P&L ownership, ROI/break-even analysis, revenue lift/capex metrics; bonus for cross-industry exposure to compare/contrast customer, user, and IT perspectives.
• Deep mastery of how Salesforce products interconnect.
• Ability to synthesize business and tech into cohesive stories that resonate across CX, UX, and IT stakeholders.
• Demonstrated success leading teams and projects (Agile + waterfall fluency preferred).
• Innate Passion for Technology & Continuous Learning – Self-motivated explorer of emerging tech.
• Growing familiarity with Snowflake, Databricks, agentic systems, and AI-driven architecture.
• Capable of creating polished, visually appealing presentations solo.
• Applicants must have authorization to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship.

What Would Make You An Outstanding Candidate

• Financial Services Cloud (FSC) experience is highly advantageous.
• Agile and Waterfall fluency preferred.

• Flexible vacation policy that allows you to manage your schedule and rest and recharge when you need to.
• 11 holidays with flexibility based on what is important for you and those you love.
• Family-friendly benefits, including paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents, employer-paid short-term and long-term disability, employer-paid life insurance, and access to additional life insurance, hospital coverage, accidental coverage, discounted mental health support, and more.
• Support on individual development through certifications, continued learning, conferences, and more.
