- Design data models, sharing/security architecture, and integrations connecting Salesforce to the client's ERP, billing, and finance systems.

- Partner with product/delivery leads on roadmap planning, backlog grooming, and technical prioritization.
- Conduct architecture and code reviews, and mentor developers on the team.
- Track Salesforce release cycles and Revenue Cloud roadmap changes; advise on technical debt and upgrade paths.

- Proficient hands-on coding skills: Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), SOQL/SOSL, Flow/Process Automation, and integration development (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware such as MuleSoft/Boomi).
- Solid grounding in data architecture, security model design (profiles, permission sets, sharing rules), and integration patterns.
- Experience with Salesforce DevOps tooling (SFDX, Gearset/Copado/Flosum, Git-based CI/CD).
- Salesforce certifications required: Application Architect or System Architect (or actively pursuing), plus CPQ Specialist; Sales Cloud Consultant preferred.
- Comfortable operating as an embedded team member within a client organization with strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
