Agentic Solutions Architect

The Agentic Solutions Architect works with internal and external stakeholders to craft and deliver innovative, cost-effective Salesforce solutions that combine core platform architecture with agentic AI. The role designs where deterministic automation (Flow, Apex, integrations) ends and where AI agents (Agentforce, prompt-grounded reasoning, and autonomous actions) begin, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, trustworthy and grounded in well-governed data. The position is roughly balanced between Agentforce / AI agent design and core Salesforce architecture, and develops the required skills to assume greater complexity over time.

• •Acts as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders, from administrators to executives, explaining agentic concepts, risks and ROI in language each audience understands

• Supports pre-sales and scoping by shaping proposals, estimating effort, identifying high-value agent use cases and presenting solution approaches in workshops and pitches
