at Air Products

🏢 About Air Products

Air Products is a global leader in industrial gases and a pioneer in clean hydrogen projects, driving the transition to a zero-carbon energy future. Joining means contributing to world-scale hydrogen energy initiatives that have real environmental impact, while working in a collaborative, innovative culture.

About This Role

As the SFDC Solution Architect, you will design and validate scalable Salesforce architectures for multi-cloud implementations (Sales, Service, Experience, CLM), ensuring alignment with business strategies and enterprise architecture. This role is pivotal in integrating Salesforce with SAP, Agiloft, and Workday, enabling seamless operations across the company's digital ecosystem.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with the development team to review architecture decisions, followed by a workshop with business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable solutions. Afternoons could involve designing integration specs with SAP or Workday teams, reviewing code for best practices, and presenting architecture updates to executives.

🎯 Who Air Products Is Looking For

  • 7+ years of Salesforce architecture experience, with deep expertise in Sales Cloud and hands-on multi-cloud implementations (Service, Experience, CLM preferred).
  • Proven ability to translate complex business strategies into robust, scalable Salesforce solutions while balancing enterprise architecture constraints.
  • Strong technical knowledge of Salesforce data model, metadata, integration patterns, API limits, and platform constraints, with experience integrating SAP, Agiloft, or Workday.
  • Exceptional communicator who can present executive-level architecture decisions and guide development teams toward best practices.

📝 Tips for Applying to Air Products

Tailor your resume to show how your architecture decisions supported business goals like sustainability or operational efficiency, aligning with Air Products' mission.

4

Include a brief architecture diagram or case study in your portfolio that demonstrates your approach to scalability and governance in a large enterprise.
