The pillars of being a successful Technical Architect at Perficient are:

• Own the overall solution design across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and third-party integrations - including the data model, architecture, and identifying and mitigating risks early and often.

• Work with the Sales team to accurately scope new projects for new and existing customers, creating technical design documents, ERDs, and other illustrations to drive conversations, and building POCs when needed.

• Build deep relationships with customers, knowing their business better than they do, and leading them as a "sherpa" or "trusted advisor" through the Salesforce ecosystem. Speak first: bring your opinions and recommendations before being asked, and drive the conversation rather than waiting to be led. Comfortable having hard conversations when necessary.

• Be the technology expert in the room, deploying best practices and staying current so you can lead by example.

• Own project success by QA'ing consultants' user stories, guiding their approach, and supporting their growth.

• Spend roughly 10-20% of your time hands-on in the system via declarative or programmatic Build phase items.
