Build Your Future With Us
The digitization of tax compliance is fundamentally changing global commerce and how businesses need to operate and grow. Governments now have real-time visibility into business data, creating new challenges and new opportunities for organizations around the world. At Sovos, we're transforming tax compliance from a business requirement into a driver of growth through AI-powered technology that delivers the accurate, real-time insights businesses need to make smarter decisions.
We're solving more than today's tax compliance challenges. We're helping reshape global economies by enabling organizations to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environments with confidence – and helping communities thrive.
AI is accelerating what's possible, enabling tax and technology professionals to more effectively drive critical regulatory decisions. That's where Sovos excels, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to help customers stay ahead of change.
Don't worry if you don't check every box. We're focused on hiring great people, not perfect resumes. It's less about what you've done elsewhere and more about what you're capable of doing here.
The Role
At Sovos, we're building the platform that makes tax compliance simple for thousands of global enterprises. As Salesforce Application Architect, you'll own the technical architecture and engineering of our Salesforce ecosystem, designing scalable solutions that power our go-to-market operations and integrate AI-powered automation directly into production. This is a senior technical leadership role where you'll balance deep platform engineering, CPQ expertise, and modern AI tooling to deliver reliable, maintainable systems at global scale. Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes - apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.
More Specifically, You Will
- Own the Salesforce technical architecture across Sales Cloud, CPQ, and Service Cloud, designing scalable, maintainable solutions that balance declarative and programmatic approaches with a strong focus on long-term platform health and org simplicity.
- Govern platform engineering standards for Apex, LWC, SFDX, and Flow automation, including coding standards, architecture and code reviews, bulkification patterns, metadata hygiene, and technical debt remediation to keep the platform performant as it scales.
- Design and maintain the Salesforce security model including org-wide defaults, role hierarchy, permission sets, permission set groups, field-level security, and sharing rules; conduct periodic security audits and enforce least-privilege access.
- Architect and engineer the Salesforce CPQ platform, including product catalogue, pricing rules, QCP (JavaScript quoting processes), MDQ (multi-dimensional quoting), Advanced Approvals, amendment and renewal logic, and ARR categorisation; own end-to-end Quote-to-Cash process integrity and integrations with Zuora and NetSuite via middleware.
- Design, build, and deploy AI-powered features directly on the Salesforce platform using LLM APIs (Claude, Copilot), including agentic data-quality workflows, deal and quoting chatbots grounded in CPQ data, and AI-assisted development workflows; evaluate and govern Salesforce-native AI capabilities including Agentforce agents, Einstein Copilot, and Prompt Builder.
- Architect and govern Salesforce integration patterns including REST/SOAP APIs, platform events, named credentials, and External Services; set clear standards for declarative versus programmatic callout patterns and partner with data and integrations teams on middleware strategy.
- Lead Salesforce DevOps practices using Salesforce DX and CI/CD pipelines; govern platform health via Salesforce Health Check, Code Analyser in the CI pipeline, and org limits monitoring; enforce sandbox strategy, environment governance, and AppExchange package evaluation.
- Serve as the technical escalation point for the Salesforce team; conduct code and architecture reviews, mentor administrators and developers, and partner with Sales Operations, Finance, and executive stakeholders to translate business requirements into sound technical design, communicating decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Lead Salesforce workstreams for M&A due diligence and post-close integration; own platform controls aligned to SOX ITGC requirements including change management controls, access review evidence, and audit log configuration.

- Comfort with AI-assisted development workflows and leveraging AI tools to improve platform architecture, engineering quality, and delivery speed; strong written and verbal English communication skills for cross-time-zone executive stakeholder engagement.
