Job Description

At Salesforce Commerce Cloud, we are working to build the future of e-commerce, tightly integrated into the World's #1 CRM. We enable customers all over the world to create engaging, high-performing, and personalized Storefront Experiences.

We are looking for a Front End Commerce Architect to join us and build high-quality, easy-to-use, and powerful storefronts leveraging the full spectrum of the Salesforce Platform, especially Data Cloud and Agentforce.

Merchants will be easily sharing and distributing data to any Salesforce Commerce product to scale and grow their businesses.
