Responsibilities:

System & Data Architecture

  • Architect the end-to-end integration and data strategy for Salesforce and its connected production distributed systems.

  • Define data ownership, entity shapes, and single sources of truth across platforms using Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs).

  • Partner with core engineering teams to align system boundaries and architectural standards.

    • Integration Engineering & Infrastructure

  • Design high-scale integration patterns focused on retries, idempotency, reconciliation, and deep observability.

  • Replace brittle, no-code integrations (like Zapier) with robust, engineered, code-based solutions.

  • Implement Enterprise Best Practices.

  • Leverage deep Salesforce expertise to develop sophisticated, code-driven integrations rather than standard administrative configurations.

    • Change Management & Technical Leadership

  • Establish a robust CI/CD pipeline for integration management, prioritizing configuration-as-code over manual, "click-based" changes in production environments.

  • Partner closely with IT, Product, and various business stakeholders to ensure seamless change management and alignment with broader business goals.

  • Serve as the guiding authority on modern integration technologies, strategies, and enterprise-grade software engineering practices.

    • Qualifications:

  • Hands-on Salesforce platform experience in a complex custom-object environment.

  • Production TypeScript experience.

  • Relational database experience (Postgres).

  • Experience building integrations between Salesforce and external systems.

  • Practical distributed-systems experience: idempotency, retries, dead-lettering, backfills, reconciliation, eventual consistency.

  • Practical experience with integration technologies: REST, SOAP, Webhooks.

  • Strong relational data modeling/ERD design; comfortable with Postgres or equivalent.

  • Has built observability around integrations: metrics, alerts, dashboards, runbooks.

  • Salesforce metadata in source control + CI/CD (scratch orgs, sandboxes, deployment automation).

  • Operating credibly at staff/lead level alongside a software engineering organization.

    • Nice to Have:

  • Experience with Salesforce as an operational/domain platform, not only as a sales CRM.

  • Experience with integrating with different enterprise systems: Zendesk, SAP, Stripe, etc.

  • Insurance, brokerage, fintech, or other regulated/workflow-heavy industries.

  • NestJS experience.

  • Experience replacing no-code/Zapier flows with engineered integrations.

  • Event-driven architecture, message queues, webhook infrastructure.
