What You'll Be Doing & Why It MattersThe Technical Architect — Automotive Cloud successfully designs and manages the delivery of complex, enterprise-grade Salesforce solutions for automotive clients operating across OEMs, authorized dealership networks, commercial fleet operators, and emerging mobility providers. Technologies include Salesforce Automotive Cloud, Vehicle Console, Dealer Management, Fleet Management, Salesforce APIs, Apex/LWC, Agentforce, and DMS/telematics integrations.
You are both a big-picture automotive enterprise thinker and a deep, hands-on problem solver. You take pride in designing systems that withstand high transaction volumes across distributed dealer networks, support complex OEM-to-dealer data hierarchies, and will not fail at critical inflection points such as vehicle launch campaigns, service recall operations, or connected vehicle data ingestion spikes. The solutions you design are built for long-term scalability, growing seamlessly alongside the customer's dealer network footprint and connected vehicle ecosystem.
You have a strong mix of technical depth and enterprise consulting acumen, knowing how to leverage AI development tools like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to optimize code quality, accelerate architectural design cycles, and rapidly prototype automotive-specific configurations.
