Salesforce Architect

About the role

The Salesforce Architect owns the technical architecture and roadmap for SunPower's Salesforce ecosystem, ensuring the platform scales cleanly to support sales, service, and operations across a growing, multi-brand organization. This role partners business stakeholders and developers to design solutions that are secure, maintainable, and built for long-term growth rather than one-off fixes.

Key responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end technical architecture of SunPower's Salesforce org(s), including data model, security model, and integration architecture.
• Translate business requirements from Sales, Service, and Operations into scalable, well-documented Salesforce solutions.
• Lead design and code review for custom development (Apex, Lightning Web Components, flows) built by internal and contract developers.
• Define and enforce Salesforce governance standards: environment strategy, release management, and change control.
• Architect integrations between Salesforce and other core systems (NetSuite, marketing automation, telephony, etc.).
• Evaluate and recommend AppExchange packages versus custom builds, balancing speed, cost, and long-term maintainability.
• Own technical debt reduction and platform health, including managing org complexity as SunPower integrates newly acquired companies.
• Partner with the VP of IT and business stakeholders to set the Salesforce roadmap and prioritize the backlog.
• Mentor junior Salesforce admins/developers and support their growth.

About you

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of hands-on Salesforce experience, including at least 3 years in an architect-level role.
• Salesforce Application Architect and/or System Architect certification (or equivalent depth of experience) required; additional certifications (Platform Developer II, Sales Cloud/Service Cloud Consultant) a plus.
• Deep knowledge of Salesforce data modeling, security architecture, Apex, Lightning Web Components, and Flow.
• Proven experience designing integrations between Salesforce and external systems via REST/SOAP APIs or middleware.
• Experience supporting Sales Cloud and/or Service Cloud implementation on scale, ideally in a multi-entity or acquisitive company.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to work directly with business stakeholders as well as engineers.
