WHO WE ARE

We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to Serve the World Flavor since we first opened in 1994, and we’re just getting started. 1997 saw the opening of our first brand partner operated Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.

Above all else – our success is largely due to our people and our core values, or what we call The Wingstop Way of being entrepreneurial, service-minded, fun, and authentic. We believe having a strong people foundation centered on these collective values creates a crave-worthy culture and talented team, as well as ensures our brand is poised for accelerated growth. We all win together.

WHAT WE'LL NEED

Wingstop is seeking a Solutions Architect to design and govern scalable, cloud-native solutions across our enterprise technology portfolio. This role owns end-to-end solution architecture — spanning cloud infrastructure, application integration, and key SaaS platforms — and administers Salesforce as one of several platforms within that portfolio.

This role serves as an architectural partner across our technology landscape, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, cost-effective, and aligned with long-term business strategy. You'll drive cloud architecture strategy, DevOps best practices, and enterprise solution design in a fast-growing, multi-unit environment.

• Administer Salesforce, including configuration (Flows, page layouts, validation rules, objects), security model (profiles, permission sets, sharing rules), sandbox strategy, and release management 

• Design and govern API and middleware integrations (e.g., Talend, OIC, MuleSoft, AWS) connecting cloud and SaaS platforms 

• Define and champion Infrastructure as Code practices and CI/CD pipeline design 

• Drive automation across Quality Assurance, Infrastructure, and Testing functions 

• Evaluate cloud and SaaS platforms against non-functional requirements, including scalability, security, resiliency, and cost 

• Establish scalable integration standards, cloud security practices, and data governance practices 

• Be a thought leader and partner with Finance, Supply Chain, Franchise Operations, Digital, and other Tech teams to translate business needs into enterprise solutions 

• Provide technical leadership to implementation partners by reviewing technical designs 

• Ensure enhancements align with a long-term enterprise roadmap 

• Drive AI enablement across the portfolio 

• Lead system upgrades, enhancements, and module expansions 

• Develop and maintain documentation, integration mappings, data flow diagrams, and deployment runbooks 

• Develop and present architecture designs and technical risk reviews to the Architecture Review Board (ARB) 

• Develop and present deployment plans, change records, risk mitigation steps, and rollback procedures to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) 

• Monitor post-production performance and integrations; perform root cause analysis and remediation as needed 

• Partner closely with project managers for various initiatives to ensure technical delivery is sequenced with architectural dependencies clearly identified

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• 5+ years of experience in solutions architecture, enterprise systems architecture, or cloud architecture

• Strong hands-on experience designing and deploying cloud-native solutions on AWS and/or Azure

• Strong hands-on experience with Salesforce platform architecture and integrations, Salesforce Dev/Admin certifications a plus

• Proven expertise in API and middleware design (MuleSoft, OIC and Cloud Native capabilities)

• Deep understanding of SaaS architecture, DevOps, and release governance

• Experience debugging production software, monitoring tools like DataDog. 

• Experience with version control like GitLab, CI/CD pipelines and best practices. Automated deployment experience using Jenkins/Amazon Code Deploy/Pipeline 

• Experience working with senior business stakeholders

• Retail, QSR, or multi-unit experience preferred

• Certifications in Salesforce preferred.
