Salesforce Architect

Ciklum

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role:

As a Salesforce Architect, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.

The project is a large-scale, two-year program (2026-2027) aimed at transforming the campaign content creation process at one of the largest sportswear manufacturers. Currently, the process is highly manual and fragmented, with different business units and markets using disparate approaches. This leads to significant inefficiencies, redundancy, and a lack of alignment.

The project will streamline this entire workflow, from the initial campaign concept to the final briefing of external agencies. This will involve the integration and enhancement of two key systems: the Campaign Portal, which runs on Salesforce Service Cloud and manages all campaign master data, and Asset Portal, which handles all campaign assets. The goal is to create a cohesive and efficient ecosystem for content creation, reducing overhead and eliminating duplicate work.

Responsibilities:

• Architecture & Design:
• Design scalable, secure, and high-performing solutions, with a focus on integrating Salesforce Service Cloud with other enterprise systems using Java and AWS
• Apply event-driven and microservice architecture patterns to ensure a decoupled and resilient system landscape
• Run Proof of Concepts (POCs) on core project assumptions to validate technical feasibility and architectural direction
• Ensure compliance with architecture governance, documentation standards, and support development teams in implementation and code quality
• Stakeholder Collaboration:
• Engage with business and technical stakeholders to gather, analyze, and refine requirements for the campaign creation lifecycle
• Lead whiteboarding sessions and translate complex business needs into clear technical specifications
• Data-Centric Development:
• Architect solutions for foundational services involving data streams, master data, and reusable backend capabilities
• Ensure data integrity and lifecycle consistency across the integrated Campaign Portal and Nova systems
• Leadership & Mentorship:
• Act as the lead technical authority on the project, guiding developers, reviewing designs, and supporting the team in making critical architectural decisions
• Ensure the team's alignment with Adidas' technical standards and delivery methodologies

Requirements:

• Experience
• 5+ years in solution architecture design with a proven ability to serve as a Technical Analyst
• 10+ years of hands-on Java backend development experience
• Crucial experience with Salesforce, particularly Service Cloud and its integration capabilities
• Technical Skills
• Deep expertise in Java, AWS (core services), and event-driven systems
• Strong understanding of system integration patterns, API design, and data modeling
• Experience with containerization (Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, messaging systems (Kafka preferred), and storage architecture (SQL/NoSQL)
• Familiarity with the React framework is beneficial

Desirable:

• Experience with Agile/Scrum or SAFe delivery frameworks
• Familiarity with Data Lakes, Elasticsearch, or Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Relevant certifications such as TOGAF or advanced AWS credentials

Personal skills:

• Ability to ramp up very quickly and operate effectively in a hands-on "executor" capacity from day one
• Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities
• Sharp analytical, problem-solving, and requirement-gathering mindset
