Technical Architect

Architect the Future of Digital Commerce at Salesforce!

Salesforce is the #1 CRM and a deeply unified platform trusted by businesses of every size. We're reimagining how customers buy, manage, and grow their Salesforce footprint-through modern, scalable, and AI-enhanced digital experiences.

As eCommerce Architect, you will serve as the senior technical leader driving the architecture vision, design, and integration strategy across Salesforce's digital commerce and self-service ecosystem. You'll partner closely with the Product Director, eCommerce & Self-Service, and work across engineering, infrastructure, data, and security teams to deliver resilient, extensible, and customer-first commerce capabilities.

This role will shape the technical foundation of key platforms-including the Billing Portal, Tableau Store, and OneCheckout global payments-as well as the unified API-first service layer that supports cross-cloud and cross-channel experiences. You'll help define how Agentforce and Data Cloud capabilities are embedded into these flows to power intelligent, personalized, and self-directed user journeys.
