Job Description
Datavant is a data platform company and the world’s leader in health data exchange. Our vision is that every healthcare decision is powered by the right data, at the right time, in the right format.
Our platform is powered by the largest, most diverse health data network in the U.S., enabling data to be secure, accessible and usable to inform better health decisions. Datavant is trusted by the world’s leading life sciences companies, government agencies, and those who deliver and pay for care.
By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a high-performing, values-driven team. Together, we’re rising to the challenge of tackling some of healthcare’s most complex problems with technology-forward solutions. Datavanters bring a diversity of professional, educational and life experiences to realize our bold vision for healthcare.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a Salesforce Solutions Architect to lead the design of scalable, maintainable, and high-impact solutions across our Salesforce platform. This individual will collaborate with cross-functional teams—including product, engineering, business operations, and external partners—to architect solutions that meet business needs while aligning with long-term technical strategy. You’ll serve as the bridge between business goals and Salesforce’s capabilities, helping shape our roadmap, ensure system integrity, and drive platform maturity.
You are a strategic thinker and hands-on problem solver with deep Salesforce expertise and a strong understanding of how technology can enable business transformation. You balance architectural vision with real-world constraints and enjoy working across disciplines to craft sustainable, high-quality solutions. You’re collaborative, adaptable, and excited to build for scale.
What You Will Do
- Translate complex business requirements into scalable, well-architected Salesforce implementations.
- Guide the use of declarative vs. programmatic solutions based on trade-offs, scalability, and future maintenance.
- Collaborate with developers, admins, and project managers to deliver end-to-end solutions from concept to execution.
- Own technical architecture documentation and ensure alignment to platform best practices and data model standards.
- Evaluate and recommend Salesforce features, emerging technologies, and 3rd-party applications to improve the platform.
- Support cross-system integrations, including APIs, middleware, and third-party systems.
- Maintain awareness of platform security, sharing rules, and compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA).
- Mentor developers and admins on design patterns, platform limits, and implementation strategy.
- Contribute to the definition of a Salesforce roadmap that supports business scalability and automation.
What You Need to Succeed
- 5+ years of experience designing and implementing Salesforce solutions in mid- to large-scale environments.
- Proven experience with Salesforce Clouds (Sales, Service, Experience), Lightning, Apex, SOQL, and Flows.
- Strong understanding of Salesforce data modeling, security, sharing, and performance optimization.
- Ability to lead technical design sessions and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience with API integrations (REST/SOAP) and external system architecture.
- Salesforce certifications (e.g., Application Architect, Platform App Builder, Sales Cloud Consultant).
- A track record of success in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
- Experience in architecting for a complex evolving business (multi-org, multi-business, M&A, etc.)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain trade-offs and influence decisions.
What Helps You Stand Out
- Salesforce Solution Architect certification or progress toward CTA.
- Experience with CPQ, Data Cloud, or Marketing Cloud.
- Familiarity with DevOps tooling and agile delivery frameworks (e.g., Jira, ADO).
- Prior experience in regulated industries such as healthcare or financial services.
- Experience using or integrating with AI capabilities in Salesforce (e.g., Einstein).
- Participation in the Salesforce community (events, forums, certifications).

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
