Senior Salesforce Engineer (Commerce Cloud)

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• SFCC Delivery Ownership: You own the "how" of the Commerce Cloud build — SFRA architecture, cartridge structure, controllers, templates (ISML), pipelines, and Business Manager configuration — from detailed technical design through deployment and into production support.
  
• Platform-Level Design: You are the guardian of the storefront's technical architecture. You make and document decisions around cartridge layering, custom site preferences, data extensions, and the integration surface — keeping them coherent as the solution evolves.
  
• Engineering Rigor & Quality: You enforce production-grade SFCC standards: accessibility, performance, SEO hygiene, mobile-first rendering, and thorough unit and integration testing. You write code that survives in production and is maintainable by others.
  
• Integration Contract: You define and protect the API/data contracts between SFCC and third-party services — payments, search/merchandising, inventory, BNPL, CMS, reviews, and others depending on the client. You coordinate non-SFCC layers, ensuring changes stay backward-compatible and well-documented.
  
• Proactive Risk Management: You surface dependencies, scope creep, and technical debt before they block delivery — especially coupling between cartridge customizations, service integrations, and data model decisions — and bring solutions, not just problems.
  
• Communication & Alignment: You translate SFCC platform constraints (cartridge limits, quota limits, deployment realities) into plain language for non-technical PMs and client stakeholders, and keep engineering, PM, and design aligned on decisions and status.

REQUIREMENTS:

Proven Salesforce Commerce Cloud Experience: A significant track record delivering complex SFCC projects and supporting them in production. You can take a vague goal and turn it into shipped, stable storefront code.

Deep SFCC Platform Expertise (hands-on):

• SFRA architecture: cartridge layering, controllers, ISML templates, models, and client-side scripts.
• Business Manager: catalog/product management, promotions, site preferences, data extensions, and custom objects.
• SFCC scripting: dw.system, dw.catalog, dw.order, dw.web and service framework usage.
• Storefront pipelines and quota-aware design (CPU time, script file size, API call quotas).
• Deployment & ALM: code version management, cartridge upload pipelines, sandbox/staging/production promotion strategies.
• Integration surface: SFCC Service Framework and OCAPI (Shop API and Data API).

Integration & Commerce Stack Awareness: Sufficient fluency across the commerce stack — payments (e.g. Adyen, Stripe), search/merchandising (e.g. Algolia, Salesforce Predictive Sort), inventory, BNPL, and CMS/review integrations — to own contracts and reason about end-to-end flows.

Multi-Workstream & Multi-Party Delivery: Comfortable running structured build work and live operational/support contexts in parallel. At ease working within delivery models involving agency, client, and external dev/design partners.

Communication: Fluent English (written and verbal). You can explain technical tradeoffs to a non-technical PM as clearly as you discuss architecture with another engineer.

NICE TO HAVE:

Salesforce B2C Commerce Developer certification (or B2C Architect track).
Familiarity with headless/SCAPI or PWA Kit implementations — useful context, though not the primary focus of this engagement.
Exposure to adjacent Salesforce clouds (Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud) as integration targets.
Node.js / React experience.
CI/CD pipeline experience (Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines, or similar).
