Senior Salesforce Engineer

The Senior Engineer is a high-autonomy role and the sole senior Salesforce voice on the engagement. You take architectural direction and turn it into shipped, production-grade Salesforce metadata — objects, Record Types, Flows, Apex, LWC, permission model, and managed-package configuration (DocuSign eSignature). You also hold the technical relationship with the integration microservices and cloud platform that read from and write to the org: you don't build those daily, but you define the contracts, guard the data model, and make sure a schema or automation change never blindsides them.

Here is the truth: this is a Salesforce Platform (Core/CRM) role. We're looking for a builder who lives in the Salesforce org — declarative and programmatic.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Salesforce Delivery: You own the "how" of the Salesforce build — data model, automation (Flows + Apex), UI (LWC/screen flows), permission sets, Record Types, and packaging — from detailed technical design through deployment.
• Platform-Level Design: You are the guardian of the org's data model and automation architecture. Schema changes, sharing/visibility, and process design go through you, and you keep them coherent as the solution grows.
• Engineering Rigor & Quality: You enforce production-grade Salesforce standards — Apex test coverage ≥ the org bar, FLS/sharing correctness, governor-limit awareness, and metadata/CLI-based deployment (SFDX/`sf`).
• Integration Contract: You define and protect the API/data contracts between Salesforce and the backend integration services (identity validation, CRM sync, e-signature, and the SFCC B2B commerce component). You coordinate — not necessarily hand-build — the non-Salesforce layers, ensuring changes stay backward-compatible.
• Proactive Risk Management: You surface dependencies, scope creep, and technical debt before they block delivery — especially coupling between the org schema, its automations, and the services that consume them — and bring solutions, not just problems.
• Communication & Alignment: You translate Salesforce platform constraints (limits, callout/identity constraints, packaging realities) into plain language for non-technical PMs and client stakeholders, and keep engineering, PM, and design aligned on decisions and status.
• Communication & Alignment: You translate Salesforce platform constraints (limits, callout/identity constraints, packaging realities) into plain language for non-technical PMs and client stakeholders, and keep engineering, PM, and design aligned on decisions and status.
• Engineering Leadership & Mentorship: You lead and mentor Salesforce (and adjacent) engineers through technical reviews, coaching, and hands-on support, fostering a psychologically safe, high-accountability, high-quality culture.

REQUIREMENTS:

Proven Salesforce Experience: A significant track record delivering complex Salesforce Platform (Sales/Service Cloud, Core CRM) projects and supporting them in production. You can take a vague goal and turn it into shipped, stable org configuration and code.

Deep Salesforce Platform Expertise (hands-on):

Apex (triggers, services, async, test classes) and governor-limit-aware design.

Flows — record-triggered and screen flows — as a first-class automation tool.

LWC for custom UI where declarative isn't enough.

Data model & security: custom objects, Record Types, permission sets/permission-set groups, FLS, sharing.

Deployment & ALM: SFDX source format, metadata/CLI deployment (`sf`), sandboxes, change/branching strategy, CI-based deploys.

Integration surface: REST/Apex callouts, Connected Apps & OAuth 2.0 (incl. M2M client-credentials), Platform Events/outbound patterns.

Integration & Cloud Awareness: Enough fluency in API-based integrations and a cloud/microservice backend (Node/NestJS on AWS is the current stack, including an SFCC B2B commerce component) to own the contracts and reason about the end-to-end flow. 

Multi-Workstream & Multi-Party Delivery: Comfortable running structured build and live operational/support work in parallel.

Communication: Fluent English (written and verbal).

NICE TO HAVE:

• Salesforce certifications: Platform Developer I/II, App Builder, and/or an Architect-track credential.
• Familiarity with test-driven development (TDD) / high-coverage delivery as a working practice.
• Deep AWS/Terraform/backend build experience.
• DocuSign eSignature for Salesforce (or comparable managed-package e-signature) configuration experience.
• Familiarity with Node.js/NestJS, AWS (ECS Fargate), Terraform, Okta/SSO, and Jenkins/Bitbucket CI/CD as the surrounding platform.
• CMS-driven frontends (Next.js / Contentful) exposure.
