Why This Role Exists

This role exists to own architecture, quality, and delivery.

If production breaks, this person is accountable — not “involved.”

What You’ll Actually Do

• Own end-to-end Salesforce solution architecture

• Design scalable Apex architectures including trigger frameworks, async orchestration, and data models

• Decide when to use Apex vs LWC vs declarative tools

• Lead complex integrations with external systems (REST/SOAP, OAuth, AWS, third-party tools)

• Enforce governor-limit-safe design and security best practices

• Lead code reviews with high standards for maintainability and test quality

• Mentor and technically lead SDE-1 and SDE-2 engineers

• Translate vague business requirements into scalable technical designs

• Own production stability, perform RCA, and drive preventive improvements

Requirements (Core)

• 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience

• Minimum 2 years of experience leading a technical team

• Strong hands-on expertise in:

  • Apex (Triggers, Batch, Queueable, Schedulers, Async patterns)

  • Lightning Web Components (LWC)

  • SOQL & SOSL optimization

• Deep understanding of:

  • Salesforce Security Model (Profiles, Permission Sets, Sharing, Roles)

  • Governor limits and bulk-safe design

• Proven experience designing and owning Salesforce integrations

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD using Salesforce DX and Git-based workflows

• Ability to defend architectural decisions with clear reasoning

Good to Have

• Experience working with external systems such as AWS and third-party tools

• Strong experience in leading code reviews and enforcing engineering best practices

• Ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into structured technical solutions

What Strong Candidates Do Well

• Take full ownership of architecture, delivery, and production stability

• Design scalable, maintainable, and secure Salesforce systems

• Lead teams effectively while mentoring junior engineers

• Make clear, well-reasoned architectural decisions

• Proactively identify risks and implement preventive solutions

• Maintain high standards for code quality, testing, and system design

What You’ll Get

• Ownership of end-to-end Salesforce architecture and delivery

• Opportunity to lead technical decisions and mentor engineering teams

• Exposure to complex integrations and large-scale system design

• High-impact role with accountability and influence on product quality

Who This Role May Not Be the Best Fit For

• Those who equate seniority only with years of experience

• Those who rely heavily on declarative tools like Flows for core business logic

• Those who avoid ownership during production issues

• Those not comfortable designing scalable architectures independently
