About the role

What You’ll Accomplish

Architecture and Leadership:

  • Define and drive the end-to-end architecture of our Salesforce and RevTech ecosystem (Salesforce, CPQ, billing, integrations, data flows)
  • Establish a multi-quarter architectural vision that balances flexibility, scalability, and operational simplicity
  • Identify systemic risks and proactively evolve the platform to prevent future constraints
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to design solutions and deliver technical implementations that align with business objectives
  • Set the standard for clean architecture, maintainable automation, and scalable system design
  • Identify and aggressively reduce tech debt, redundant logic, and fragile implementations
  • Provide architectural oversight to prevent poor design decisions and fragmented solutions
  • Partner with Financial systems team to develop end to end solutions across SalesForce, Integration layer (Boomi experience preferred) and ERP (NetSuite experience preferred)
  • Act as a force multiplier—raising the technical bar across the team through mentorship and guidance
  • Take ownership of ambiguous, high-impact problems and drive them to clear, scalable solutions
  • Balance competing priorities (speed vs. scalability, customization vs. standardization) with strong technical judgment
  • Operate with urgency while maintaining a high bar for system quality and durability

Engineering:

  • Design and develop end-to-end Salesforce solutions using declarative tools (Flows, Screen Flows, and Process Automation) and programmatic development (Apex, Lightning Web Components and Visualforce Pages)
  • Lead and execute complex system redesigns (e.g., CPQ/product modeling, replacing custom logic with native functionality, automation frameworks)
  • Support integrations between Salesforce and other enterprise applications, ensuring data consistency and smooth system interactions
  • Lead Salesforce release management and deployment processes, including Sandboxes, Change Sets, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Troubleshoot and resolve Salesforce issues, ensuring system stability and optimal performance
  • Document configurations, processes, and technical solutions to support knowledge sharing and maintainability
  • Debug and resolve deeply complex issues across systems, integrations, and data layers
  • Own end-to-end data integrity and consistency across Salesforce and downstream systems and how it impacts reporting

Your Expertise

  • 7–10+ years of experience implementing, configuring, and scaling Salesforce environments in complex or high-growth organizations
  • Strong hands-on expertise with Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, integrations/APIs, and data modeling
  • Nice to have: Salesforce certifications including SalesForce Certified Platform Developer, Platform Developer II, Application Architect and/or System Architect (or equivalent depth of experience); CPQ/RCA experience strongly preferred
  • Proven track record of designing and delivering scalable, multi-system architectures
  • Experience leading end-to-end system ownership, from architecture through implementation and ongoing optimization
  • Experience and deep understanding of the quote to cash process, including complex pricing models and contract lifecycle
  • Strong ability to take ambiguous problems and deliver pragmatic, durable solutions
  • Deep understanding of data integrity, system reliability, and integration patterns
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills; ability to manage non technical and technical stakeholders
  • Champion the intentional integration of AI capabilities into solutions
  • Demonstrated strong adherence to SDLC best practices
