🗓 Start date: ASAP
📆 Contract type: Contractor, Full-time, indefinite
🌐 Work hours: Monday to Friday, 7.30 to 16.30 PST - 100% Remote

🛠️ What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead and coach a small team of Salesforce Developers and Administrators (2–5 direct reports), setting technical direction and raising engineering standards.
• Design and deliver Salesforce solutions that integrate deeply with an Azure cloud platform (multi-product environment).
• Define and implement enterprise integration patterns: API gateway design, event-driven architecture, microservices, and real-time synchronization.
• Partner with Solution Architects and Platform Engineering to define scalable integration patterns between Salesforce and Azure services.
• Build and maintain API integrations across systems (e.g., NetSuite, Coupa, DocuSign) using REST/SOAP, OAuth2, and related standards.
• Ensure Salesforce best practices, security protocols, and operational resilience across releases and environments.
• Improve delivery through estimation support, clear implementation approaches, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and intelligent monitoring.
• Drive innovation: identify AI-supported opportunities in Salesforce solutions and across the product lifecycle.

✅ What You Need to Succeed

Must-haves

• 7+ years of Salesforce technical experience, including integrations with external systems and cloud platforms (Azure strongly preferred).

• Strong hands-on knowledge of Apex, Lightning (Aura + LWC), Flows, and Visualforce.
• Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns, API management/gateway concepts, event-driven architecture, and microservices.
• Ability to make architectural trade-offs and clearly defend decisions to senior technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in agile/product operating models and collaborating cross-functionally (Product, UX/UI, QA, Engineers).
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and mentoring skills; able to create strong feedback loops and predictable delivery.

Nice-to-haves

• Salesforce Architecture certifications (preferred).
• Experience with SFDX and modern Salesforce delivery workflows.
