Salesforce Technical Lead

Overview

The Opportunity ConstructConnect is seeking a Salesforce Technical Lead to serve as the primary technical authority for our enterprise Salesforce platform. In this role, you will architect, build, and scale a high-performing Salesforce core that underpins our revenue operations and long-term platform strategy.

You will set the technical direction for our Salesforce org, working closely alongside Salesforce platform developers and GTM systems administrators to deliver scalable, pro-code and declarative solutions. In this role, you are the technical anchor, guiding engineering decisions, establishing standards, and elevating the team’s capabilities, while staying hands-on across the Salesforce core platform, quote-to-cash lifecycle, data integrity, and AI-assisted development practices.

Responsibilities

• What You’ll Be Doing

• Salesforce Platform Architecture & Engineering

• Lead System Design: Define the foundational architecture, metadata strategy, object modeling, and enterprise design patterns for the core Salesforce platform (Sales, Service).

• Core Platform Health: Establish engineering guardrails to manage governor limits, enforce code quality, and proactively refactor legacy technical debt.

• Hands-On Development & AI Engineering: Write and maintain high-quality Apex, LWC, and advanced declarative automations (Flows), leveraging AI tools like Claude Code and Glean to accelerate development and automate workflows.

• Release Governance: Own the CI/CD pipeline and deployment strategies using Git-based workflows, Salesforce DX, scratch orgs, and unlocked packages.

• GTM Ecosystem & Integration Strategy

• Quote-to-Cash & CPQ Architecture: Serve as the technical authority for product catalog synchronization, subscription management, and contract renewals, regardless of the underlying billing or CPQ engine.

• Integration Patterns: Design and support secure, event-driven API integrations connecting Salesforce to the broader GTM and Finance tech stack (Marketing Automation, Customer Success, Billing, and Data Warehouses).

• Data Governance: Maintain strict data quality and architectural standards across Salesforce to support reliable enterprise reporting and downstream analytics.

• Leadership & Collaboration

• Stakeholder Alignment: Partner closely with Product Owners early in the discovery phase to engineer automated, scalable solutions and eliminate manual process friction.

• Engineering Mentorship: Coach, upskill, and guide Salesforce developers and GTM administrators, effectively bridging pro-code and declarative capabilities.

• Documentation & Standards: Maintain robust architecture diagrams, data contracts, and runbooks to eliminate tribal knowledge and foster a culture of technical excellence.

• This job description in no way implies that the duties listed here are the only ones that team members can be required to perform.
