We are seeking an experienced Application Development Architect to lead the design and development of scalable portal applications on Salesforce Experience Cloud.

This is a hands-on architecture role responsible for defining and implementing the front-end application architecture, reusable component strategy, and supporting backend logic on the Salesforce Platform.

A dedicated UX team will provide design systems, site information architecture, and finalized UI designs. This role owns the implementation of those designs in code—ensuring consistency, scalability, performance, and accessibility across all portal experiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own role-based portal experience architecture, including navigation patterns, service journeys, and access models for external and internal users
• Lead development of reusable UI components using Lightning Web Components (LWC) and LWR (Lightning Web Runtime), with awareness of Aura for legacy or transitional needs, while establishing portal-wide standards for reuse, performance, and maintainability
• Own implementation of the design system in code, including consistent styling, theming, and component behavior, extending Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) and Experience Cloud theming as needed
• Translate finalized UX designs (via Figma) into high-quality, responsive, and accessible implementations across Experience Cloud experiences
• Design and implement application-layer logic using Apex and platform services, including secure data access, sharing, and permission models for external and internal users
• Leverage B2B Commerce templates and capabilities where applicable, and integrate Experience Cloud solutions with external systems and Salesforce platform teams on shared services and data models
• Ensure solutions meet performance, scalability, and accessibility (WCAG) standards, while providing technical leadership through architecture guidance, code reviews, and participation in CI/CD and release processes

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience on the Salesforce Platform
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Salesforce Experience Cloud
• Proven experience building B2B portal or customer-facing web applications
• Strong hands-on experience with Lightning Web Components (LWC) and LWR (Lightning Web Runtime)
• Familiarity with Aura components for legacy or hybrid environments
• Experience working with or extending B2B Commerce templates and storefront capabilities
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Apex
• Experience implementing design systems within Salesforce (SLDS, theming, reusable components)
• Experience designing security, sharing, and external user access models
• Experience integrating Salesforce with external systems (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience scaling multiple Experience Cloud portals (B2B, customer, internal)
• Familiarity with Figma or similar design tools
