At Thunder, we’re not just Salesforce experts—we’re passionate about empowering our customers to unlock the platform's full potential. As a Thunder Technical Architect, you’ll not only design and deliver cutting-edge Salesforce solutions but also play a key role in pre-sales efforts by showcasing how our solutions can solve real-world business challenges.

This is your chance to leverage your technical expertise and consulting skills to guide our customers through initial discussions and implementation, ensuring they see Salesforce's strategic value in achieving their goals.

Summary

Thunder’s Technical Architect (TA) is a strategic partner in technical delivery and pre-sales engagements. You’ll work closely with customers' technology and business leaders to develop Salesforce strategies that align with their objectives. In pre-sales, you’ll collaborate with the sales team to craft compelling demonstrations, create high-level solution designs, and articulate the technical feasibility of our recommendations.

Your role will extend to designing and executing scalable solutions, guiding technical decision-making, and ensuring exceptional project outcomes.

Roles + Responsibilities

The ideal TA will have a proven track record in pre-sales, technical consulting, and Salesforce architecture. You serve as a Technical leader for customer engagements, simplifying complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences while inspiring trust and excitement in the Salesforce platform.

Here's your chance to showcase your grit and help define how technical architecture can be delivered differently, focused on digging deep to solve customer problems as much as technical problems.

Pre-Sales Support: Partner with the sales team to present innovative Salesforce solutions to prospects, conduct technical discovery sessions, and build trust with potential clients.
Solution Design: Translate business needs into robust Salesforce architectures, ensuring scalability and alignment with customer goals.
Technical Expertise: Demonstrate mastery in system design, Salesforce development (Apex, Flows, Lightning Components), and API integration. Ensure that the project systems meet the expectations of the client’s business, that proper testing is conducted, and performance is monitored by overseeing the development team.
Leadership: Mentor development teams, enforce best practices, and ensure the quality of deliverables. Help to define and enforce coding and documentation standards at Thunder.
Collaboration: Align closely with sales, project management, and technical teams to deliver a seamless customer experience from pre-sales through delivery. Partner with offshore and nearshore resources to conduct code reviews, uphold coding standards, and clarify design decisions.
Continuous Learning: Remain current on Salesforce products and technical capabilities. Demonstrate thought leadership through blog writing, public speaking, and client presentations.
