VP / Director of Technology

Hunley•Davidson, NC

3d•Remote

About The Position

Hunley is a rapidly growing Salesforce Summit Partner headquartered in Davidson, NC, with a fully remote team working from all corners of the country. We move quickly, collaborate deeply, and keep our clients at the center of everything we do. We’re proud to be known not just as a trusted partner to our clients, but also as a place where people genuinely enjoy working. CRM Solutions is the combination of Hunley, a boutique Salesforce implementation partner, and TrebleHook, a Salesforce OEM / ISV platform. The combined entity serves the construction and manufacturing industries with custom and value-added solutions and services. We operate fully remotely, and are repositioning around outcomes-based, AI-accelerated delivery and solutions. We are hiring a senior technical leader to serve as the firm’s top architecture authority across both our services practice and our product. This person owns the technical foundation — data, AI, and integration — and the senior judgment that holds up in front of a client’s technology leadership. This is a hands-on, billable leadership role, not a pure-management seat. You will set the standard for how we architect solutions, then prove it in real engagements. This role reports to the Chief Product Officer and works in close partnership with the Director of AI Applications. The CPO sets vision and product direction; the Director of AI Applications owns what we build with AI for clients and product; you own how it is built and whether it holds up technically.

Requirements

Demonstrated ownership of data architecture on real, messy enterprise programs
Working command of Salesforce Data 360 (Data Cloud), plus Snowflake and/or Databricks
Clear grasp of warehouse vs. lake vs. lakehouse, and of zero-copy / data federation tradeoffs
Sound judgment on data modeling, governance, and when RAG vs. fine-tuning vs. structured retrieval applies
Years of experience integrating enterprise systems across multiple platforms
Practical depth in at least two of: MuleSoft, Boomi, Azure/Microsoft Fabric, Workato
Strong direct-API integration skills (REST/SOAP, auth, error handling, throughput)
Hands-on with custom SQL databases and modern ELT patterns
Experience grounding AI/agent solutions in governed enterprise data
Familiarity with CDC patterns and event-driven data flows
Exposure to data quality and MDM in mid-market settings
Background building productized / reusable connectors
Salesforce integration patterns (Platform Events, CDC, MuleSoft Composer)
Comfort estimating and scoping custom integration work
Genuine understanding of Salesforce Agentforce capabilities and limits
Working knowledge of leading foundation models (e.g., Claude, GPT) and how to choose between them
Clear view of agent design, tool/function calling, MCP, and retrieval grounding
Ability to translate AI capability into sound, deliverable architecture
Direct experience architecting on or around the Salesforce platform
Understanding of core Salesforce data model, sharing model, and governor limits
Familiarity with Salesforce's AI and data products (Agentforce, Data Cloud)
10+ years in enterprise solution architecture, data engineering/architecture, or integration architecture, including senior client-facing and team-leadership exposure.
Direct experience architecting on or around the Salesforce platform is strongly preferred given our practice and TrebleHook.
Exceptional ability to explain technical tradeoffs to both executive and hands-on technical audiences.
Proven success operating in a fully distributed team and contributing to an engaged, energizing remote culture.

Nice To Haves

Salesforce certifications (Architect track preferred)
Experience with TrebleHook or similar Salesforce ISV/OEM products
Experience supporting Salesforce-centric pre-sales and scoping
Experience deploying AI in regulated or data-sensitive environments
Familiarity with the Anthropic / Claude platform and MCP connectors
Prompt and context engineering for production workflows
Awareness of AI evaluation, guardrails, and cost/latency tradeoffs
Industry experience in AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) or Manufacturing — the two verticals we serve. The ideal candidate knows how these businesses buy, operate, and think about technology. We are looking for someone who brings both the technical depth and the industry context to credibly advise clients who know their world better than most vendors ever will.

Responsibilities

Architectural authority. Render credible, vendor-neutral “right tool for the job” recommendations across data, AI, and integration — and defend them in conversations ranging from a client CIO to a director-level IT lead.
Solution integrity. Provide deep technical support for the architecture of both client services engagements and TrebleHook product features, ensuring designs are sound, scalable, and maintainable.
Practice standards. Establish tooling standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns that make our delivery repeatable and AI-accelerated.
Technical mentorship. Guide and develop the integration practice lead and junior architects; raise the technical bar across the team.
Pre-sales credibility. Partner with sales (including our CEO) on scoping, estimation, and technical storytelling that wins work and sets engagements up to succeed.
