Salesforce Solutions Architect

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a deeply experienced Salesforce Solutions Architect to join the Salesforce Engineering team at Datavant, serving as the primary bridge between business stakeholders and our technical delivery teams. You will be joining an emerging, high-impact Center of Excellence focused on spearheading key digital transformation initiatives with the goal of implementing multiple Salesforce products at an enterprise level.

You will be responsible for translating complex business requirements into scalable, well-designed Salesforce solutions while ensuring every initiative is aligned to business outcomes, platform best practices, and long-term architectural integrity. This is a unique opportunity to shape the solution vision for company-wide Salesforce investments and lay the strategic foundation for years to come.

• Own and enforce enterprise-level solution standards, technical architecture governance, and best practices across multiple production instances.
• Lead discovery workshops and requirements sessions with business stakeholders to define problems, map processes, and identify the right Salesforce capabilities to address them.
• Own end-to-end solution design across initiatives, producing fit-gap analyses, solution blueprints, and functional architecture documentation.
• Assess and recommend the right mix of Salesforce-native capabilities, AppExchange products, and third-party tooling, weighing trade-offs across cost, scalability, and strategic alignment to guide platform decisions.
• Design integration approaches between Salesforce, MuleSoft, and enterprise systems, working alongside integration engineers to ensure alignment on patterns and constraints.
• Define and maintain solution design standards and documentation practices that set the quality bar across the CoE.
• Drive cross-cloud solution architecture across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Data Cloud, and Experience Cloud.
• Evaluate and architect Salesforce-native AI capabilities (Agentforce, Headless AI, MCP) and broader industry AI platforms, ensuring consistency and scalability while partnering with enterprise AI teams to align on standards and strategy.
• Mentor team members on solution design thinking and Salesforce platform capabilities.
• Stay current with the Salesforce product roadmap and proactively recommend platform capabilities that address evolving business needs.

What You Need to Succeed

• 4+ years of experience in a Salesforce Solutions Architect, Principal Consultant, or senior advisory role delivering enterprise-scale implementations.
• 6+ years of Salesforce practitioner experience with deep hands-on background across core clouds (Sales, Service, Experience) in complex, multi-cloud environments.
• Demonstrated ability to lead discovery and solution engagements including requirements gathering.
