Formulate data models, relationship structures, indexing strategies, and custom metadata frameworks optimized for high-volume loan applications.
•
Establish data lifecycle management, archiving, and retention patterns compliant with financial regulations and client security/privacy mandates.
•
Define and govern fine-grained security architectures (Profiles, Permission Set Groups, Object/Field Level Security, and Sharing Rules).
DevSecOps, Code Quality & Compliance
•
Define branch management, version control, and CI/CD automation strategies leveraging Salesforce CLI and Azure DevOps pipelines.
•
Govern static code analysis and security vulnerability remediation through automated tools such as SonarQube and Checkmarx.
•
Establish quality engineering KPIs, focusing on unit-test coverage thresholds, defect leakage minimization, and system performance benchmarks.
Agile Leadership & POD Mentorship
•
Partner with Product Owners, Solution Architects, and Delivery Leads during Program Increment (PI) planning to refine epics, technical user stories, and architectural runways.
•
Identify, manage, and mitigate technical risks, dependencies, and architectural debt within program RAID logs.
•
Provide technical leadership, design guidance, and mentoring to onshore and offshore senior and intermediate Salesforce engineers.
