Household name, millions of customers across TV, broadband, mobile and connectivity. They are standing up a new Salesforce platform and this role comes in at the onset, so there is real scope to shape architecture, standards and direction rather than inherit them. Large estate, serious engineering culture, and a Salesforce community already spanning multiple product domains. THE ROLE Hands on senior role owning technical design and delivery across the Salesforce ecosystem, spanning Sales, Service, Communications, Experience and Marketing Clouds. The core challenge is Comms Cloud at telco scale. Product catalogue, quoting, contract lifecycle and order management all have to work together across a complex product set, and they have to perform. You will lead the technical analysis and design, lean on out of the box capability first, and customise only where it earns its place. You will also be the person the developer community looks to for direction, setting engineering standards as the platform and team grow. WHAT THEY MEAN BY ARCHITECT * Worth being direct, because it shapes who they want to speak to. * They want someone still close to the build. Not someone who chairs governance forums and reviews a partner's design documents, but someone who can design the solution, get into the org, and show a team how it should be done. * The stakeholder side is equally real. You will be presenting and defending technical direction to directors and business leaders, so this is not a role for someone who only speaks engineer., * Partner with product owners and solutions architecture to deliver tailored solutions across the Salesforce ecosystem * Perform technical analysis, design and implementation of platform changes, following best practice * Design and build across Comms Cloud and Vlocity, covering CPQ, EPC, OM and CLM, in iterative release cycles * Lead, mentor and train a team of Salesforce developers and architects * Drive best practice across platform security, code quality, version control and CI/CD * Support a community of Salesforce technical designers across a wide range of initiatives ## Related Videos - [Strategies to accelerate SaaS Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1078-strategies-to-accelerate-saas-application-development) - [The Road to MLOps: How Verivox Transitioned to AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1050-the-road-to-mlops-how-verivox-transitioned-to-aws) - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [Our GitOps approach for deploying an Identity Provider and an API Gateway in a SaaS company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/776-our-gitops-approach-for-deploying-an-identity-provider-and-an-api-gateway-in-a-saas-company) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
