About the team
The Enterprise Architecture team at Kinaxis shapes the long‑term technical direction of our enterprise platforms, ensuring our technology ecosystem remains scalable, secure, and aligned with our strategic goals. We work across Corporate IT and business teams to set architectural guardrails, provide solution guidance, and steward the health of critical platforms such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, NetSuite, and others.
We are growing our architecture capability and are looking for a Technical Architect to take ownership of the technical roadmap, patterns, integrations, and platform engineering excellence for Salesforce.
As a Technical Architect, you will be the technical authority and long‑term steward of the Salesforce platform at Kinaxis. You will own the detailed technical design of solutions, guide developers on engineering best practices, and ensure our Salesforce ecosystem is built for reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
You will partner closely with Solution Architects, Enterprise Architects, developers, security, and business teams to ensure technical designs support business value while aligning with enterprise integration and architecture standards.
This is a hands‑on, engineering‑forward architecture role. You will shape how Salesforce evolves at Kinaxis: defining patterns, reducing technical debt, modernizing integrations, and driving platform maturity.

What you will do
Create detailed technical solution designs, including data models, integration specifications, automation patterns, and security models.

Own and maintain Salesforce reference architectures, reusable patterns, and guardrails.
Conduct code and design reviews; ensure alignment with standards, integration patterns, and security policies.
Lead troubleshooting of complex issues across data, integrations, and platform components.
Design and oversee integrations between Salesforce and enterprise systems using API‑first principles.
Define integration contracts, data transformation rules, error handling strategies, and performance requirements.
Ensure governance of master data and consistent platform-to-platform interactions.
Participate in Architectural Review Board (ARB) processes for platform‑related decisions; automating governance wherever possible.
Partner with Solution Architects to ensure technical feasibility and alignment with business needs.
Communicate risks, constraints, and trade‑offs clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
What we are looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
5–7+ years building and designing solutions on enterprise platforms, including at least 2–3 years architecting Salesforce or similarly complex systems.
Proven experience as a senior developer or technical lead on Salesforce, building scalable, secure, and performant solutions.
Expertise in Salesforce platform architecture, including Apex, Lightning Web Components, platform events, flows, automation, identity (OAuth/SAML), and integration mechanisms.
Strong understanding of API‑first design, event‑driven architecture, error handling, and integration patterns.
Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control, and environment strategy.
Strong grasp of non‑functional design: performance modeling, limits management, data modeling, and secure configuration.
