Salesforce Solution Architect at Careers Gbrx Icims Com

At Greenbrier, we do the hard work that matters. The Greenbrier Companies (NYSE:GBX) is powering the movement of products around the world as a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of freight rail transportation equipment and services.

Greenbrier’s heritage of hard work and industrial innovation is celebrated at every level of our organization. We structure our business to support teams that deliver innovative solutions for our customers while positively impacting the world around us.

Greenbrier’s success begins with people. We believe in supporting our global workforce through our unwavering attention to Safety, Quality, Respect for People and Customer Satisfaction. Our Inclusion, Diversity, Engagement, Access and Leadership (IDEAL) commitment is rooted in these values, which lead to a culture where employees are engaged and feel good about coming to work every day.

Summary

The Salesforce Solution Architect will lead the design of scalable, secure, and well-integrated solutions across our Salesforce platform in a hybrid Microsoft–Salesforce enterprise environment.

The architect will help evolve the platform in ways that improve business agility, maintain architectural integrity, and enable responsible AI adoption.

This is a hands-on architecture leadership role requiring practical implementation depth, not just oversight. Will bring strong Salesforce development experience and can translate architecture into working solutions and proof-of-concept prototypes when needed.

Architect integrations between Salesforce and enterprise systems including Microsoft 365, Azure, Dataverse, ERP platforms, and systems of record.

Define safe and controlled interaction patterns for AI agents, including access to trusted data and API boundaries.

Partner with security and compliance teams to define AI governance guardrails including data exposure, identity, auditability, and prompt risk controls.

Evaluate emerging AI tools and define practical engineering standards for responsible adoption.

Governance, Security & Quality

Define and enforce platform standards including environment strategy, release processes, naming conventions, and technical debt management.

Embed security principles such as least privilege, identity and access management, and data protection into all designs.

Lead architecture and design reviews across Salesforce development, integrations, and automated testing.
