Sr. Salesforce Developer/Architect

Position Summary:Client is seeking a Development Lead / PSS Architect to serve as the senior technical resource across our LPI Practice—a growing portfolio of state government Salesforce Public Sector Solutions (PSS) implementations focused on digitizing professional licensing, permitting, and inspection workflows for state agencies.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can own technical delivery across complex, multi-environment implementations, engage effectively with client and state agency stakeholders, and drive consistent quality with minimal oversight. This role serves as the primary technical decision-maker on LPI engagements, responsible for architecture, code quality, deployment strategy, and code review across distributed agile teams.

We are seeking a candidate with strong communication skills, deep expertise in OmniStudio and Salesforce Industries, and a proven track record delivering solutions in the public sector—specifically within regulated environments, large-scale government programs, and multi-stakeholder initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Own architecture decisions for OmniStudio/Vlocity configuration including OmniScripts, FlexCards, DataRaptors, Integration Procedures, and DataPacks.
• Prioritize configuration and platform-native PSS capabilities over custom development — exhaust declarative and OmniStudio options before writing custom Apex or LWC.
• Review user stories, estimate story points, and allocate stories to developers before sprint planning.
• Lead the dev squad in technical discussions and solution design sessions.
• Conduct code reviews and enforce development standards across teams of onshore and offshore developers.
• Execute and coordinate deployment across SIT, UAT, and production environments; manage SFDX and Vlocity CLI tooling.
• Monitor production stability; log and triage defects identified in production environments.
• Follow up on Salesforce support tickets escalated to Salesforce Professional Services or support.
• Lead data migration efforts including complaint and licensing data migration workstreams.
• Support UAT phases including manual steps, user creation, and issue triage.
• Collaborate with the Business Analyst and Product Owner to refine user stories, validate acceptance criteria, and flag scope or dependency issues early.
• Develop Apex (classes and triggers), Lightning Components/LWC, and declarative flows to extend Salesforce PSS for licensing and regulatory workflows.
• Design and configure constituent-facing Digital Experience (Community) sites including user registration, portal access, and self-service licensing workflows.
• Design and implement role-based access controls, permission sets, sharing rules, and data visibility patterns appropriate for multi-agency government environments.
• Build and maintain REST and SOAP API integrations, platform events, and outbound messaging to connect Salesforce PSS with external agency and state systems.
• Build and maintain client trust with agency stakeholders; serve as technical point of contact for agency technical teams.
• Contribute to LPI practice development — help build reusable patterns and tooling for future state government PSS implementations.
