- Serve as a trusted technical advisor, influencing decisions through expertise and sound judgment
Team Leadership & Growth

- Demonstrated ability to independently organize, plan, and deliver technical work from concept through production
- Solid understanding of Salesforce data model, security model, and governor limits
- Proven experience in Agile environments, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, and release cycles (e.g., Jira)
- Ability to break down and communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
