Job Summary

Position Summary: We are seeking a highly skilled Salesforce Engineer to help us optimize our existing Salesforce implementation. The ideal candidate is a strong advocate for using out-of-the-box functionality and declarative tools, with a deep understanding of when custom code is, and is not, the right answer. You will be a key player in reducing our technical debt, simplifying our architecture, and establishing a sustainable, cost-effective Salesforce ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Analyze, maintain, and enhance our current Salesforce Sales Cloud and Service Cloud implementations.

  • Lead the refactoring of complex Apex classes, triggers, and Lightning Web Components (LWCs) into simpler, more efficient solutions.

  • Champion and implement solutions using declarative tools like Flow Builder, validation rules, and platform configuration wherever possible.

  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to challenge requirements and guide them toward standard functionalities to avoid unnecessary customization.

  • Develop and enforce strict governance, coding standards, and best practices to ensure the long-term health of the platform.

  • Play a critical role in identifying and decommissioning redundant custom objects, fields, and code.

  • Manage technical aspects of the Salesforce release cycle, including CI/CD pipeline management, sandboxing strategies, and deployments.
