The ideal candidate possesses in-depth Salesforce knowledge across administration and development, covering configuration, access, and automation as well as Apex, LWC, and integrations.

- Configure and maintain Sales, Service, Experience and (where applicable) CPQ Cloud functionality.
Process Automation
- Build and maintain automation in Flow.
- Migrate legacy Workflow Rules and Process Builder automation to Flow.
User Access, Security & Compliance
- Manage the user lifecycle, including roles, profiles, permission sets and permission set groups.
- Support SSO/SAML and MFA configuration in partnership with IT/Identity, and investigate login failures.
- Run Health Check, Security Center and Optimizer reviews, and support internal audit and compliance requests.
Data Stewardship
- Maintain data quality through validation rules, duplicate/matching rules and periodic audits.
- Execute data loads, mass updates and data remediation.
- Manage sandbox refresh and seeding.
- Build and maintain reports, dashboards and report types for Sales, Marketing, Operations and Customer Success.
Release Management, CI/CD & Maintenance
- Own weekly release execution in Git/Bitbucket and CI/CD tooling, including manual pre- and post-deployment steps.
- Manage Salesforce seasonal releases and communicate impact to stakeholders.
Technical Debt & Platform Health
- Identify, size and remediate technical debt across configuration, code, automation and access.
- Maintain a prioritized debt register and deliver remediation alongside regular work.
Support, Triage & Cross-Functional Partnership
- Triage and resolve production issues, integration failures and data discrepancies.
- Partner with Sales, Marketing, Operations, Customer Success and adjacent system owners (ERP, procurement, marketing automation) to shape requirements and resolve production issues.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Salesforce Administrator and Platform Developer I (PD1) certifications.
- 7-12 years in Salesforce administration and development, including at least 3 years operating as a senior or lead engineer on a team.

- Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
Preferred Qualifications
- Platform Developer II (PD2), Advanced Administrator, Platform App Builder, or Application/System Architect certifications.
- Experience in a large, long-lived org carrying legacy debt, and in remediating it without disrupting the business.
- Exposure to ERP or procurement integrations (NetSuite, Coupa or similar) and to identity platforms (Okta or similar).
How You Work
- Clear written and verbal communication; able to explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder and a business constraint to an engineer.
- Strong analytical mindset with a structured approach to problem-solving.
- Sound judgment on when to say no, or not yet, and why.
