Salesforce Technical Architect (CPQ Specialization)

Emburse•Boston, MA

About The Position

At Emburse, we are looking for a Salesforce Technical Architect with a deep, proven specialization in Salesforce CPQ & Billing to serve as the master builder of our global revenue engine. In a high-growth, private-equity-backed SaaS environment, our CPQ infrastructure directly impacts our business velocity and speed-to-market. Reporting directly to the Director of Business Systems, you will move beyond simple administration to own the long-term architectural roadmap for our entire quote-to-cash ecosystem. If you thrive on dismantling legacy CPQ technical debt and building pristine, scalable pricing and billing models from scratch, we want to talk to you.

Requirements

CPQ & Billing Specialization: Extensive, hands-on experience architecting and implementing Salesforce CPQ and Billing workflows within a high-volume SaaS or Fintech environment.
Proven Architecture Track Record: 7+ years of experience within the Salesforce ecosystem, with at least 3 years explicitly operating in a Technical Architect or Principal Engineer capacity.
Technical Mastery: Expert-level proficiency writing and reviewing Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), SOQL, and designing complex security models to extend CPQ capabilities.
Integration Expertise: Strong background designing REST/SOAP APIs and working with enterprise integration architecture to sync financial data seamlessly.

Nice To Haves

Advanced Certification (Preferred): Holds Salesforce CPQ Specialist, System/Application Architect designations, or multiple advanced Designer certifications.
A CPQ Subject Matter Expert: You live and breathe product bundles, price rules, discount schedules, and MDQ. You know exactly where the platform breaks and how to scale it safely.
A Pragmatic Problem Solver: You understand that in a PE-backed company, business velocity matters. You know when to utilize out-of-the-box CPQ functionality and when it’s time to write custom code.
A Technical Leader: You aren't just a theorist. You enjoy performing deep-dive code and configuration reviews, mentoring developers, and setting clear quality gates.
An Excellent Communicator: You easily translate complex technical debt or CPQ limitations into clear business risks for leadership and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Architect the CPQ Engine: Drive the long-term technical roadmap for Salesforce CPQ & Billing, prioritizing platform performance, data integrity, and multi-year scalability.
Own the Revenue Engine: Design, optimize, and maintain complex Lead-to-Cash and Quote-to-Cash workflows, ensuring seamless product configuration and accurate pricing structures.
Lead Enterprise Integrations: Architect robust, scalable integrations between Salesforce CPQ, back-office ERP systems, and downstream financial systems using custom APIs and middleware platforms.
Establish Governance: Set and enforce the "gold standard" for our development lifecycle, including coding standards (Apex/LWC), branching strategies, and CI/CD pipelines for configuration data.
Triage Technical Debt: Proactively audit our existing CPQ ecosystem, identifying architectural gaps or redundant rules, and proposing pragmatic modernization strategies that keep revenue moving.
