[Hiring] Staff Salesforce Architect @Marqeta

Role Description

As Salesforce Architect, you will be the technical backbone of Marqeta's Business Systems team, a lean, high-impact group that serves as the internal Salesforce platform team for Go-To-Market (GTM), Product Support, and Legal, Risk & Compliance (LRC). This is a heavily hands-on lead individual contributor role, where you will be writing code, configuring the platform, and directly solving hard technical and business problems.

The Impact You'll Have

• Architecture & Design
  • Own end-to-end Salesforce architecture across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and Revenue Cloud (including our active CPQ → Revenue Cloud migration).
  • Lead architecture and design sessions, producing clear design documents, solution options, and tradeoff analyses.
  • Author and maintain coding and design standards for SFDC and ecosystem applications.
  • Conduct thorough code reviews and enforce engineering best practices, security standards, and declarative-first design principles.
  • Build and maintain the technical backlog—translating platform observations, stakeholder needs, and audit findings into well-scoped engineering work.
  • Proactively identify gaps in system design, data integrity, automation, and integrations; propose and deliver solutions before they become incidents.
  • Conduct regular Org Health Assessments and define a continuous improvement roadmap for platform quality, security, and performance.
  • Own Salesforce release management pipeline, sandbox strategy, source code control, CI/CD tooling and assessment ensuring clean, auditable deployments.
• Development & Delivery
  • Design, build, test, and deploy solutions in an Agile framework using Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, REST/SOAP APIs, and platform events.
  • Lead the technical design and implementation of Agentforce and AI-powered automation across GTM, customer support, and compliance workflows.
  • Design and build integrations with internal and external systems, including Ironclad (CLM), Snowflake, and other GTM/RevOps tooling.
  • Define testing strategy, write test scripts, and execute tests to meet quality and coverage standards across releases.
  • Maintain high sprint velocity while upholding code quality and documentation standards.
• Security & Platform Hardening
  • Own hands-on remediation of Salesforce security findings across the full spectrum, including session/certificate hardening, sharing model and default access control fixes, and secure-coding fixes.
  • Leverage Salesforce Shield Event Monitoring to capture and analyze login, API, and transaction logs.
  • Design for appropriate data classification, access controls, and auditability across compliance-critical Salesforce objects.
  • Evaluate and implement platform monitoring/SSPM tooling recommendations, working cross-functionally with security and compliance stakeholders.
  • Implement and maintain the org's backup and recovery solution including configuring backup schedules and monitoring job health.
• Technical Leadership & Collaboration
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior and mid-level engineers on the Business Systems team.
  • Partner with the Engineering Manager to scope, estimate, and prioritize platform work.
  • Translate complex business requirements from GTM, LRC, and Product Support into well-architected, scalable Salesforce solutions.
  • Communicate technical tradeoffs and architecture decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Lead stakeholder demos and participate in Agile ceremonies including standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of Salesforce technical experience spanning development, configuration, and architecture.
• At least 2 years functioning in an actual Architect capacity with a strong, defensible point of view on technical direction.
• Deep hands-on experience with Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Experience Cloud.
• Experience with Revenue Cloud or a strong CPQ background.
• Proficiency in Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, REST/SOAP APIs, and platform events.
• Direct experience leading or heavily contributing to a Salesforce security hardening effort.
• Proven experience conducting code reviews and enforcing engineering best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to build and manage a technical backlog.
• Experience architecting and building integrations with external systems.
• Excellent communication skills, able to engage credibly with both engineers and senior business stakeholders.

Requirements

• Experience proactively identifying system and process gaps and driving solutions to completion without requiring explicit direction.
• Familiarity with Agentforce, Einstein AI, or other Salesforce AI/automation capabilities.
• Ability to reliably prioritize and complete work independently with minimal supervision.
