Experience with Salesforce development and integrations is a strong plus, as many of our systems interface directly with Salesforce for CRM, workflow automation, and customer operations. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys owning features end-to-end, solving complex integration problems, and working closely with cross-functional partners.

  • Communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, and implementation details clearly to stakeholders.
Operational Excellence & Best Practices
  • Follow and help improve engineering best practices including CI/CD, code reviews, testing strategies, and observability.
  • Ensure services are performant, observable, and resilient, with appropriate logging, metrics, and alerting.
