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.
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).
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.
