In this role, you will own the end-to-end architecture across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and integrated third-party platforms, ensuring alignment with business objectives, technical best practices, and long-term scalability. You will partner closely with clients and internal stakeholders to define solution strategies, develop technical design documentation, create data models and ERDs, and support project scoping efforts for new and existing engagements. Acting as a trusted advisor, you will proactively guide customers through the Salesforce ecosystem, providing expert recommendations, addressing complex challenges, and leading critical technical discussions. As the senior technical authority, you will ensure delivery excellence by identifying and mitigating risks, maintaining implementation compliance, and overseeing solution quality. Additionally, you will mentor architects and development teams, contribute to sales pursuits and proof-of-concept initiatives, stay current on emerging technologies and Salesforce innovations, and remain hands-on in solution delivery by supporting key declarative and programmatic development activities throughout the project lifecycle., The pillars of being a successful Technical Architect at Perficient are: * Own the overall solution design across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and third-party integrations - including the data model, architecture, and identifying and mitigating risks early and often. * Work with the Sales team to accurately scope new projects for new and existing customers, creating technical design documents, ERDs, and other illustrations to drive conversations, and building POCs when needed. * Build deep relationships with customers, knowing their business better than they do, and leading them as a "sherpa" or "trusted advisor" through the Salesforce ecosystem. Speak first: bring your opinions and recommendations before being asked, and drive the conversation rather than waiting to be led. Comfortable having hard conversations when necessary. * Be the technology expert in the room, deploying best practices and staying current so you can lead by example. * Own project success by QA'ing consultants' user stories, guiding their approach, and supporting their growth. * Spend roughly 10-20% of your time hands-on in the system via declarative or programmatic Build phase items. ## Related Videos - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) - [Leverage Cloud Computing Benefits with Serverless Multi-Cloud ML ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/78-leverage-cloud-computing-benefits-with-serverless-multi-cloud-ml) - [Delete the roles, deploy the skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2104-delete-the-roles-deploy-the-skills) - [What if your HR software adapted to you, not the other way around?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100259-what-if-your-hr-software-adapted-to-you-not-the-other-way-around) - [ZEISS & Microsoft - Building the Next Generation Medical Ecosystem in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/424-zeiss-microsoft-building-the-next-generation-medical-ecosystem-in-the-cloud) - [Cloud-nativeApplications- What’s the buzz about](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/55-cloud-nativeapplications-what-s-the-buzz-about) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
