About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all. Ready to level up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce. Applications for this position will be accepted on an ongoing basis.

We want to talk to you! Slack is looking for a Technical Architect to join our global project delivery organization supporting Enterprise customer implementations. We need someone who is technically deep, delivery-focused, and comfortable owning the hands-on technical build - from architecture through implementation - while partnering closely with Delivery Managers, Solution Designers, and customer technical teams. You'll be the technical backbone of Enterprise engagements: architecting, building, and validating solutions that span Slack, Salesforce clouds, and third-party systems, while ensuring what's built is secure, scalable, and maintainable long after go-live.
