Enterprise Systems Architect

On-siteEngineeringFull-time
What You Will Do
- Define and own the enterprise systems architecture strategy across Business Operations, GTM, and internal platforms.
- Establish and maintain architecture standards, integration patterns, and governance practices that the Systems Ops team builds against.
- Design scalable, forward-looking integration patterns — APIs, middleware, event-driven architecture, and emerging AI-connectivity patterns such as MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and tool-use APIs that let AI systems act across business platforms.
- Guide the team on when to apply deterministic automation versus AI-based reasoning, and how to evaluate AI tooling trade-offs in a production business-systems context.
- Review and approve architecture for major system changes before they ship, acting as a technical quality gate for scalability, security posture, and integration hygiene.
- Serve as the primary architecture partner across Systems Ops, IT/Security, Data/AI, RevOps, Product, and Engineering.
- Present infrastructure strategy, roadmap, and trade-offs to executive leadership in clear, business-relevant terms.
- Mentor and upskill Business Systems Engineers on architectural thinking, secure design principles, and integration best practices, raising the bar for the whole team.
- Help define what "good" looks like for the Systems Ops function as it matures from an execution-focused team into one with a real architectural practice.
What You Will Bring
- 8+ years of experience in Business Systems, Enterprise Architecture, or Systems/Solutions Engineering, with deep hands-on Salesforce expertise (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud; CPQ and Revenue Cloud Advanced strongly preferred).
- Expert in Event-Driven Distributed Systems and Multi-Tenant Partner Provisioning to build our end-to-end marketplace and fulfillment pipeline.
- Strong understanding of system integration patterns (APIs, middleware, event-driven architecture) and data modeling, including semantic layers that expose business data in formats AI systems can reliably reason over.
- Strong working knowledge of AI/LLM connectivity patterns (MCP servers, tool-use APIs, agentic workflows) and how they change integration and data architecture decisions.
- Track record of partnering effectively with Security/IT and Data/AI functions — you understand where your lane starts and ends and know how to build strong working relationships across those boundaries.
- Proven ability to produce clear architectural artifacts: blueprints, diagrams, solution briefs, and roadmaps that both engineers and executives can act on.
- Strong systems thinking with the ability to move fluidly between strategic vision and hands-on technical depth.
- Comfortable leading ambiguous, high-complexity technical initiatives, including early-stage AI integration work where best practices are still emerging.
- Prior experience standing up an architecture practice or governance model from scratch.
