Hiring brief scenarios
Build the Salesforce Architect brief around the work.
These scenarios connect location context to role responsibilities. Use them as prompts to verify with the employer, not as measures of Wichita demand, clients, or candidate supply.
Sourced aerospace and advanced manufacturing context
Aircraft, precision parts, and production control: Salesforce Architect
Wichita's target-industry page describes an aerospace network with precision machine shops, tool and die firms, and subcontract manufacturers tied to global aviation supply chains. Tie the operating scenario to domain boundaries and record ownership. Ask how the architect would divide standard objects, custom objects, external data, identity, and reporting across the platform. Aircraft production can join controlled designs, parts, suppliers, machines, work orders, inspections, serial history, nonconformance, maintenance, and release authority.
Evidence to request: Use a domain-model and sharing exercise with conflicting business-unit requirements and a stated system of record. Trace the aircraft part or assembly from approved design and source material through machine or production step, inspection, serial record, discrepancy, delivery, and authorized release.
Sourced health care and medical services context
Clinical workflows and protected records: Salesforce Architect
The Wichita page identifies health care as a target sector supported by regional medical systems, hospitals, clinics, and medical education. Define the integration portfolio and nonfunctional limits. Candidates should compare synchronous, event, batch, and middleware patterns against volume, latency, failure recovery, and support ownership. Health systems can connect patient identity, appointments, clinical records, devices, laboratories, benefits, billing, consent, access, and regulated reporting.
Evidence to request: Review an architecture decision record for an integration choice, including rejected options and operating consequences. Define the care or administrative workflow, patient record, protected data class, device or lab interface, consent and access rule, validation evidence, report, and acceptance owner.
Sourced it systems and support context
Software, cybersecurity, and communications: Salesforce Architect
Wichita's target-sector page includes IT systems and support across software, technology, cybersecurity, communications, networks, and technical education. Set governance around customization, security, releases, and technical debt. Require a decision process that product owners and delivery teams can use after the architect leaves. IT roles can sit in product software, enterprise applications, network operations, cyber defence, data platforms, client support, or industrial systems.
Evidence to request: Ask for a governance mechanism the architect introduced and evidence that teams used it to make or reverse a design decision. State the product or service, users, infrastructure boundary, data rights, production authority, security control, release evidence, service target, and incident owner.
