Perficient is hiring a Salesforce Technical Architect with CPQ expertise. This role is remote, and candidates can live anywhere in the United States.

 

The Salesforce Technical Architect role at Perficient plays a crucial part in our Salesforce strategy. It requires not only a high degree of skill in our technological solutions, but also requires a high degree of consulting, relationship building and management, and an ability to see the grand vision that our solutions can bring to a client.
