About the role
- You will provide high-quality, technology-specific architecture consulting within the Salesforce ecosystem (e.g., Sales, Service, Experience, Marketing/Engagement, Platform, Data Cloud).
- You will be responsible for Solution and Enterprise Architecture, including data, integration, security, and identity architecture — from discovery through design to go-live and operation.
- You will manage architecture governance: guardrails, standards, design reviews, decision records, naming conventions, as well as CI/CD and DevSecOps (e.g., Git/GitHub/Copado).
- You will design integrations (REST/SOAP, platform events/eventing, middleware such as MuleSoft) as well as data models, performance, and scaling concepts.
- In agile projects, you will facilitate architecture and design sessions, support the PO/PMO, prioritize non-functional requirements, and ensure ‘quality by design’.
- You will act as an interface between the customer, other stakeholders, and the implementation team, translating business goals into resilient architecture blueprints and epics/stories.
- You will lead cross-functional teams (consulting, development, QA) professionally, coach developers/consultants, and support code/configuration reviews.
- When required, you will be hands-on: PoCs/spikes, complex configurations, release/cutover planning, and technical risk assurance.
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional experience in the Salesforce environment, including 3+ years in an architecture or lead role.
- Deep expertise in Salesforce multi-cloud (at minimum Sales & Service) as well as integration and data architecture.
- Solid knowledge of security and identity (SSO, OAuth, authorization flows, Shield/PLS) and limit/performance optimization.
- Confident in Apex, LWC and Flows, test strategies (unit/integration), CI/CD and version management.
- Very strong requirements and process expertise; excellent communication and presentation skills in German (C1+).
- Leadership experience in managing and developing teams — with or without disciplinary responsibility.
- Must have: At least 4 relevant Salesforce certifications in the areas of Application or System Architect.
- Nice to have: ≥4 years of experience in Automotive Sales & Marketing projects (OEM/Importer/Dealer), certifications such as System/Application Architect, progressing on the CTA path, and experience with MuleSoft/Marketing Cloud/Data Cloud/OmniStudio.
Benefits
- Professional & Personal Growth: Opportunities for professional and personal development through training programs, free language courses, competence centers, and an active tech community.
