You will articulate your designs using whiteboards, or tools like Miro or Lucid Chart, and be able to communicate and defend your design in front of the Enterprise Architecture Review Board or other governance bodies. You will work collaboratively with the cross-functional business and technology teams to identify and design sound architectures that serve the needs of many constituents. You will develop Proofs of Concepts and functioning software that can serve as a design articulation, and deliverable for Engineers to elaborate.

The Solution Architect will spend a significant amount of time collaborating with the Global Salesforce Platform Team at Amgen. You will stay abreast of the Salesforce Platform roadmap and capabilities, provide input to the Salesforce Platform roadmap, leverage best practices, optimize product engineering or release processes, and mentor junior architects and engineers in the wider community.
