- Lead custom development using Apex, LWC, Visualforce, Flows, and third-party app integrations.
- Drive roadmap priorities and backlog refinement to reduce tech debt and improve system reliability.
- Introduce thought leadership around platform optimization, system governance, and process improvements.
- Collaborate with external engineering partners to align efforts, reduce backlog, and unblock stalled projects.
- Lead discussions with Marketing and Sales teams on campaign architecture, customer journey flows, and attribution strategies.
- Analyze and optimize data integrations between Salesforce and legacy backend systems (e.g., JDE, homegrown licensing tools, Talkdesk, SixSense).
- Support release planning, documentation, and training for business users.
Minimum Experience
- 3–5 years of hands-on Salesforce development experience (Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, etc.)
- Strong grasp of Salesforce architecture, design patterns, and platform limitations.
- Experience working in highly customized Salesforce environments.
- Proven ability to collaborate directly with business users and provide consultative recommendations.
- Experience supporting Marketing Cloud, Pardot, or customer journey-related workflows.
- Familiarity with integrations involving ERP/financial systems (e.g., JDE), Talkdesk, and internal custom tools.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust across functions.
- Experience in a lean environment; comfortable rolling up your sleeves and wearing multiple hats.
