Salesforce architect guide: core work, skills to test, interview questions and India vs Philippines
What a Salesforce architect owns
- Design the data model: standard versus custom objects, relationships, record types and large data volume plans
- Set the sharing and security model: org-wide defaults, role hierarchy, permission sets and field-level access
- Choose integration patterns with your ERP, billing, product and marketing systems, from APIs to platform events
- Decide declarative versus code for each requirement and write the standards developers follow
- Run design reviews, approve technical designs and say no to builds that will not scale
- Own environment strategy, source control, release management and DevOps tooling
- Plan multi-cloud and multi-org moves, mergers of orgs and data migrations
- Track governor limits, technical debt and the roadmap for each Salesforce release
Salesforce architect skills to test
| Skill | Proof of real depth |
|---|---|
| Data architecture | Explains skew, indexing and archiving choices for millions of records |
| Security model | Designs sharing that is tight enough for audit yet simple to maintain |
| Integration design | Picks sync versus async, middleware or direct, and plans for failures |
| Governance | Writes standards and runs reviews that developers actually follow |
| Release management | Runs branching, sandboxes and deployments without weekend fire drills |
| Communication | Draws a diagram an executive understands and a developer can build from |
Interview questions and how Exordiom vets
- Sketch the data model for accounts with complex parent-child hierarchies and shared ownership.
- How would you sync orders from an ERP every few minutes without hitting API limits?
- When do you split into a second org, and when do you fight to stay single-org?
- Tell us about a design decision you reversed and what it cost the team.
- A developer wants Apex for something Flow can do. How do you decide?
- Show how you would migrate 20 million records with minimal downtime.
Red flags: diagrams with no data volume math, granting View All to fix access bugs, no opinion on source control, and designs that only work in a demo org.
Candidates keep their current architect roles until you hire them, so there is no bench. Each takes an AI interview built around your clouds and integration map, then human rounds on character, acumen, grit and experience. After the start date, Hypercare check-ins run in weeks 1 and 2, then every four weeks from week 6.
