The Distinguished/Principal Technical Architect is a pre-sales, customer-facing enterprise domain expert combining deep architecture credibility with a strong, forward-weighted command of Data & AI — grounded in CRM and customer experience as the core discipline they extend. You'll be the trusted technical authority for our most strategic Middle East customers as they navigate cloud adoption, CRM-led transformation, and AI-driven customer engagement via Agentforce and Data Cloud. This is not a legacy TA role. AI and data are the dominant focus going forward: agent architecture, data foundations, and how the two combine — on top of a CRM backbone — to reshape how customers engage their own customers. You'll still carry the full weight of classic TA responsibilities — trust with CIO/CTO/security stakeholders, architecture workshops, RFP support — but your differentiation and growth path center on AI/Data depth.

Resolve which Salesforce and third-party technologies fit a customer's architecture, grounded in product knowledge, industry frameworks, and Salesforce Architecture methodologies. Conduct architecture workshops, enablement sessions, and technical due diligence — increasingly centered on AI/data maturity assessments and agent deployment roadmaps, always tied back to customer experience outcomes.

Share field intelligence — architecture trends, AI/data customer challenges, and competitive signals from the region — to sharpen the wider team's approach.
