Lead and coach a small team of Salesforce Developers and Administrators (2–5 direct reports), setting technical direction and raising engineering standards. Design and deliver Salesforce solutions that integrate deeply with an Azure cloud platform (multi-product environment). Define and implement enterprise integration patterns: API gateway design, event-driven architecture, microservices, and real-time synchronization. Partner with Solution Architects and Platform Engineering to define scalable integration patterns between Salesforce and Azure services. Build and maintain API integrations across systems (e.g., NetSuite, Coupa, DocuSign) using REST/SOAP, OAuth2, and related standards. Ensure Salesforce best practices, security protocols, and operational resilience across releases and environments. Improve delivery through estimation support, clear implementation approaches, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and intelligent monitoring. Drive innovation: identify AI-supported opportunities in Salesforce solutions and across the product lifecycle.

Strong hands-on knowledge of Apex, Lightning (Aura + LWC), Flows, and Visualforce. Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns, API management/gateway concepts, event-driven architecture, and microservices. Ability to make architectural trade-offs and clearly defend decisions to senior technical stakeholders. Experience working in agile/product operating models and collaborating cross-functionally (Product, UX/UI, QA, Engineers). Strong communication, problem-solving, and mentoring skills; able to create strong feedback loops and predictable delivery.
