Remote Salesforce Technical Architect

Redefine Enterprise Success With Strategic Salesforce Architecture

Can you turn intricate challenges into streamlined, enterprise-ready solutions? As a Remote Salesforce Technical Architect, you become the catalyst for change across digital landscapes—translating complex business needs into seamless, high-performing CRM experiences. Here, you’ll architect platforms that don’t just support organizations but actively propel them into new growth cycles. With a competitive annual salary of $173,187, you’ll guide global teams to embrace technology as the ultimate business enabler.

The Role: Empowering Vision and Driving Real-World Outcomes

Every thriving company relies on systems that work in harmony—connecting sales, service, marketing, analytics, and beyond. Your mission is to bring this unity to life. You’ll architect Salesforce ecosystems that not only meet immediate objectives but also anticipate tomorrow’s ambitions. Think of yourself as the blueprint creator for future-focused, cloud-integrated infrastructures that evolve with business priorities. Your designs will fuel productivity, enhance customer engagement, and drive a sustainable competitive advantage.

Why This Role Matters

In today’s landscape, effective Salesforce architecture means more than implementation—it’s about driving agility, security, and long-term value. Your work impacts thousands of users and shapes customer journeys, internal processes, and decision-making frameworks. You’ll empower stakeholders to visualize what’s possible, and then engineer pathways to make it a reality. Here, your impact will be visible across departments, regions, and even industries.

Outcome-Focused Responsibilities

  • Translate visionary goals into actionable Salesforce roadmaps that unlock new opportunities for every department—sales, marketing, customer success, and finance.
  • Engage directly with stakeholders, surfacing hidden needs and mapping them to technical solutions that support agile business pivots.
  • Architect scalable, modular platforms—leveraging Lightning components, Apex development, and workflow automation to simplify processes and reduce operational friction.
  • Integrate Salesforce with third-party and legacy systems to ensure a secure, real-time data flow and a unified user experience.
  • Champion best practices for platform optimization, balancing performance, security, compliance, and usability at every stage of development.
  • Mentor technical teams, inspiring a mindset of continuous improvement, curiosity, and craftsmanship. Your feedback in code reviews and architectural discussions will empower others to reach higher standards.
  • Evaluate new Salesforce features and releases, proactively proposing enhancements that keep our stack at the leading edge.
  • Develop documentation, architecture diagrams, and technical reference materials that make even the most complex solutions accessible to diverse audiences.
  • Support troubleshooting and problem-solving efforts, acting as a trusted advisor whenever technical blockers arise.

The Work Culture: Remote Collaboration and Innovation

Here, remote work is about flexibility and deep focus, not isolation. You’ll be a valued member of a distributed, inclusive team where every perspective drives better results. We rely on remote collaboration tools—such as Slack, Jira, Confluence, and Zoom—to maintain transparent, agile, and productive communication. You’ll have uninterrupted time for deep work, but you'll also always find opportunities to partner with design, engineering, QA, and support. Knowledge-sharing is a core part of our culture; you’ll lead workshops, host architecture reviews, and drive best-practice discussions across time zones.

  • Experience navigating the full feature lifecycle, from discovery and user research through testing, launch, and iterative improvements.
