Key Responsibilities

Salesforce Development & Architecture
  • Design, develop, and deploy complex Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flow, and declarative capabilities
  • Drive decisions on Salesforce OOTB vs. custom solutions, with a strong bias toward scalable, maintainable architectures
  • Partner with architects and product leaders on mid- and high-level solution design

AI-Enabled Solution Design & Integration
  • Design and deliver AI-powered features and workflows integrated into Salesforce solutions (e.g., intelligent automation, decision support, enrichment, copilots)
  • Build and integrate non-Salesforce-native AI solutions, including:
  • LLM-based services (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, MS CoPilot or equivalent enterprise platforms)
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) patterns
  • Tool/function calling and workflow orchestration
  • Integrate AI services with Salesforce and downstream systems via APIs, platform events, or middleware
  • Ensure AI solutions are production-grade, with appropriate controls for:
  • Accuracy and reliability
  • Security and access control
  • Observability, logging, and error handling
  • Translate ambiguous business problems into practical AI-enabled technical designs, not demos or proofs-of-concept

Technical Leadership & Mentorship
  • Lead and mentor developers across Salesforce and adjacent technologies
  • Conduct technical and architectural reviews, including AI design patterns and integration strategies
  • Define and evolve engineering standards, reusable patterns, and reference implementations

Platform Health, Quality & Governance
  • Own service health, reliability, and performance across Salesforce and connected AI services
  • Lead root cause analysis and remediation for platform or AI-related incidents
  • Ensure AI usage aligns with enterprise governance, data privacy, and security expectations

Required Qualifications
  • 8+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience
  • Experience with Salesforce Sales Cloud, CPQ, Billing, Revenue Cloud, or Quote-to-Cash platforms
  • Advanced expertise in Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flow, and Salesforce data model
  • Proven experience leading complex, enterprise-scale Salesforce implementations
  • Hands-on experience building and integrating AI solutions in production environments, beyond packaged Salesforce AI features
  • Strong understanding of API-driven architectures, system integrations, and enterprise security models

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with LLM-based application patterns (e.g., prompt engineering, RAG, agent/tool orchestration)
  • Experience integrating Salesforce with AI platforms such as Azure OpenAI, OpenAI APIs, or equivalent enterprise-grade AI services
  • Familiarity with AI evaluation, monitoring, or guardrail patterns (accuracy, determinism, regression)
  • Salesforce Platform Developer II and/or relevant AI/cloud certifications
