Salesforce CPQ Architect

Job description

We are currently seeking a Salesforce CPQ Architect to join our team in Bangalore, Karntaka (IN-KA), India (IN). Key Responsibilities • Own end-to-end solution architecture across Agentforce, Salesforce CPQ and Revenue Cloud Advanced. • Architect agent-assisted and agentic workflows across opportunity, configuration, pricing, quoting, contracting, ordering and revenue lifecycle processes. • Design agent orchestration patterns, including tool/function calling, workflow delegation, multi-agent patterns, state management and memory. • Architect integration of Agentforce with Salesforce automation, Apex, Flow, APIs, MuleSoft and external enterprise services. • Define appropriate use of LLMs, deterministic logic, workflow engines and traditional automation, rather than defaulting all use cases to generative AI. • Design context engineering and retrieval strategies, including structured/unstructured grounding, retrieval depth, metadata filtering and relevance optimization. • Establish secure agent action patterns using least-privilege access, guardrails, validation, approval checkpoints and human-in-the-loop mechanisms. • Define AI evaluation frameworks covering answer quality, grounding, hallucination, task completion, tool selection, latency and business outcomes. • Establish observability across agent reasoning paths, actions, integration failures, token/credit consumption and operational performance. • Assess model and platform trade-offs across quality, latency, context window, cost, privacy and enterprise constraints. • Architect resilient action layers and transactional integration patterns for revenue processes where consistency and recoverability are critical. • Advise programs on consumption-based economics, AI credit/token optimization and architectural approaches to control run-time cost. • Lead architecture reviews, design authorities and technical governance across global delivery teams. • Mentor technical architects, developers and Agentforce specialists.
