About the role

  • Develop a deep end-to-end understanding of our quote-to-cash architecture, spanning Salesforce CPQ, order management, licensing/provisioning, billing, entitlements, and downstream integrations
  • Design and propose a modern, decoupled architectural blueprint that removes systemic constraints and enables rapid introduction of new SKUs and products upon requirements completion
  • Define clear domain boundaries, integration contracts, and ownership models so individual components of the value stream can evolve independently
  • Partner with Product, Finance, Engineering, and Go-To-Market stakeholders to align architecture with business needs, quoting flexibility, and operational scale
  • Collaborate with the Director of Salesforce Engineering and full-stack development teams to deliver incremental modernization, avoiding multi-year re-platforming efforts
  • Drive architectural decisions that favor simplicity, modularity, and iterative value, rather than complex, over-engineered solutions
  • Establish architecture governance, patterns, and design principles that accelerate— rather than hinder —delivery
  • Ensure downstream systems (licensing, provisioning, billing, entitlements) are unblocked from CPQ-centric constraints and can evolve through well-designed APIs and event-driven integrations
  • Increase organizational resilience by distributing knowledge, reducing single-threaded dependency on legacy subject-matter experts, and enabling global teams to execute independently

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field preferred
  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise architecture or senior technical design roles within complex SaaS environments
  • Proven track record designing modular, loosely coupled architectures that support rapid product and SKU iteration
  • Deep experience with Salesforce, CPQ processes, and quote-to-cash ecosystems, including downstream integrations into licensing, billing, financial systems, and entitlement platforms
  • Expertise in API-first, domain-driven, and event-driven architecture patterns
  • Demonstrated ability to transform rigid legacy environments into more flexible, scalable systems through incremental modernization, not just greenfield rebuilds
  • Experience collaborating with globally distributed engineering teams, including offshore development models
  • Familiarity with modern DevOps and integration approaches that enable independent deployment and domain separation
  • Familiarity with SKU lifecycle management, especially in multi-channel environments (e.g., Direct, Ecom/Self-Service, Marketplace, 2-tier, Enterprise)
  • Exposure to M&A integration scenarios, with architectural strategies that support scalability and adaptability
  • Salesforce certifications such as Application Architect, System Architect, or CPQ Specialist are highly desirable. TOGAF certification a plus
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, vision, life & disability, and financial benefits (including 401(k) retirement savings plan)
  • Tuition Reimbursement program
  • Additional voluntary benefits including crucial illness/hospital indemnity, identity theft protection, auto & home insurance, legal, and pet insurance
  • Competitive salary, bonus, and best-in-class Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) with a 27-month lookback
  • Flexible paid vacation time, paid day off for your birthday, and company holidays
  • A variety of leave plans, including Parental Leave
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and an employee well-being program focusing on physical, mental, and financial health
