We’re hiring a Senior Salesforce Architect to own the end-to-end Salesforce architecture for Radwell’s data, integrations, security, and scale. This is a hands-on architecture role that sets guardrails, leads solution design, and enables distributed delivery teams. You’ll translate Radwell’s MRO realities like millions of SKUs, complex pricing/entitlements, repair/RMA into elegant, resilient Salesforce solutions across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and (preferably) CPQ/Revenue Cloud. As a Salesforce Architect, you will work closely with cross-functional teams, including business analysts, project managers, and integrations team, to deliver scalable solutions that improve business efficiency and streamline operations.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES include the following:  May be modified from time to time.  Other duties may be assigned.

·         Architect & Design

o    Define the multi-cloud target architecture, data model, and sharing/security model to support high-volume catalog, pricing, warranty/entitlement, and depot repair flows.

o    Translate business processes (lead→quote→order, repair/RMA, returns, warranty) into scalable solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, Platform Events, and declarative best practices.

·         Integrate the Enterprise

o    Lead real-time and near-real-time integrations with ERP (pricing, ATP, order/invoice status), radwell.com, Genesys Cloud (CTI/IVR/screen-pop), and marketing cloud, & data platforms.

o    Select and govern integration patterns (REST, GraphQL, Platform Events, CDC, middleware such as MuleSoft/Boomi/Queues) with clear SLOs for latency, reliability, and data quality.

·         Drive GTM, Service & CPQ Outcomes

o    Architect guided selling, complex pricing/discounting, approvals, and renewal/expansion motions (CPQ/Revenue Cloud preferred).

o    Design a unified service console (cases, knowledge, digital channels), integrated repair center workflows, and entitlement-aware SLAs.

·         Govern, Secure, and Scale

o    Establish coding standards, review gates, and solution assurance; run design reviews and coach globally distributed teams.

o    Own environment strategy (sandboxes), release management, and CI/CD (GitHub/Jenkins/Azure DevOps) with automated testing and test data.

o    Ensure compliance (SOX, GDPR/CCPA, PII handling), auditability, and data retention policies.

·         Enablement & Adoption

o    Lead the Salesforce Center of Excellence (CoE): roadmap, backlog shaping, architecture runway, partner/vendor management.

o    Produce reference architectures, diagrams, and documentation; upskill admins, developers, and product owners.

·         Agentic AI & Agentforce

o    Blueprint & use cases: Define Radwell’s Agentic AI strategy and where to deploy Salesforce Agent force (sales, service, RMA/repair, quoting/CPQ, order status, knowledge).

o    Task-first agents: Build agents that can reason, decide, and act; equipped with tools to price/quote via ERP, fetch order/invoice status, triage/deflect cases, schedule repairs, and suggest alternates/substitutions for hard-to-find SKUs.

o    Grounding & guardrails: Ground agents on trusted Radwell data (catalog, pricing, inventory, entitlements) via Einstein & custom data platform (or equivalent); implement RBAC/ABAC, human-in-the-loop for high-risk actions (e.g., discount overrides), and full action audit trails.

o    Tooling & orchestration: Configure Agentforce toolkits/skills and flows to invoke internal and external APIs (ERP, radwell.com, Genesys, payments, tax, shipping) using reliable patterns (Platform Events, CDC, queues, middleware).

o    Observability & control: Stand up command-center style telemetry (accuracy, escalation rate, tool-success, cost per task, latency) with policy controls and kill-switches by channel/region.

o    Multi-channel experiences: Enable agents in the service console, on radwell.com (web chat), via Genesys (voice/IVR deflection & screen-pop), and in Slack for internal users (approvals, quote builds).

o    Safe scale-up: Pilot→production with canary releases, eval sets, red-teaming, and continuous prompt/test suites integrated into CI/CD.
