Salesforce Product Architect

JOB DESCRIPTION

Are you ready to shape the future of Salesforce solutions in a highly regulated environment?

Join Sopra Steria’s Strategic Digital Solutions (SDS) team as a Salesforce Product Architect and take ownership of the end-to-end Salesforce product architecture that underpins complex, business-critical services. This is an opportunity to define the strategic direction of the Salesforce platform, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure and aligned to business objectives.

Working closely with product owners, delivery teams and stakeholders, you’ll bridge the gap between business vision and technical execution, providing architectural leadership across a complex and evolving landscape. You’ll collaborate with clients, partners and colleagues to deliver innovative solutions that create meaningful outcomes.

This is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you'll be able to commute to our London office 1-2 days per week.

What you'll be doing:

• Owning the end-to-end Salesforce product architecture, including integrations and enterprise-wide solution design.
• Translating business, operational and regulatory requirements into secure, scalable and high-performing Salesforce solutions.
• Defining and maintaining High Level Designs and Low Level Designs in line with enterprise architecture standards.
• Acting as the design authority for Salesforce solutions, providing governance, reviewing designs and ensuring architectural integrity.
• Designing secure integration patterns using Application Programming Interfaces, Representational State Transfer services, Simple Object Access Protocol services, Platform Events and event-driven architectures.
• Providing technical leadership and architectural guidance across delivery teams, supporting release governance, deployment strategies and environment management.

What you'll bring:

• Salesforce Certified Application Architect and Salesforce Certified System Architect certifications.
• Deep expertise across Salesforce technologies including Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Apex, Lightning Web Components and Salesforce security architecture.
• Strong experience designing scalable enterprise architectures within financial services, government or other highly regulated environments.
• Expertise in architecture frameworks and methodologies, including TOGAF.
• Experience designing secure integrations with enterprise systems and public cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services and SharePoint.
• Strong knowledge of data governance, security, privacy controls, encryption, large data volume strategies and General Data Protection Regulation-aware solution design.

It would be great if you had:

• Experience with MuleSoft or other secure middleware integration platforms.
• Experience implementing event-driven integration architectures using Change Data Capture and Platform Events.
• Expertise in Salesforce DevOps tooling, source-driven development and Git.
• Experience supporting Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines within Salesforce environments.
• Knowledge of declarative automation strategies, including Flows and Apex.
• Experience mentoring architects, developers and wider delivery teams.
