What you'll do We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer, Salesforce who bridges the gap between CRM excellence and modern cloud architecture. The ideal candidate isn’t just a Salesforce expert, but a versatile full-stack developer comfortable operating beyond the confines of the platform. You will play a pivotal role in architecting end-to-end solutions that leverage Google Cloud Platform (GCP) alongside Salesforce, ensuring our ecosystem is scalable, performant, and seamlessly integrated. We need someone who can navigate a complex Apex trigger one hour and a GCP microservice the next. You should bring a deep understanding of modern engineering patterns—including CI/CD, distributed systems, and cloud-native development—to help us push the boundaries of what Salesforce can do when backed by a robust full-stack infrastructure. You’ll report directly to the Director of Sales and Marketing Technology and work closely with Salesforce administrators and developers, full stack software engineers, product, design, and sales and marketing teams to turn complex requirements into intuitive, fast, and reliable tools for our revenue teams. Responsibilities Technical Delivery: Lead by example as a primary individual contributor, developing complex features that harden our core Salesforce frameworks. Bridge the gap between architecture and implementation, ensuring Apex and Lightning Web Components (LWC) patterns are battle-tested in a high-scale, multi-cloud environment. Sales and Marketing Hybrid Technology Architecture: Design and maintain high-performance, bi-directional integrations between Salesforce (and adjacent SaaS tooling) and GCP, utilizing Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, or Dataflow to bypass traditional platform governor limits. Full-Stack Strategy: Architect a seamless bridge between the front-end (LWC), the back-end (Apex), and the cloud (GCP). Promote Service Sovereignty and design patterns ensuring Salesforce and GCP interact as a cohesive unit, delivering a high-performance, platform-agnostic user experience. Engineering Excellence & Governance: Establish "Shift Left" standards for the Salesforce team, including robust CI/CD pipelines, agentic development, automated testing, and containerized deployment patterns. Technical Mentorship: Upskill mid-level Salesforce developers in full-stack best practices and guide generalist engineers on Salesforce-specific architectural constraints. Build vs. Buy Decisions: Evaluate when to leverage native Salesforce functionality versus offloading processing to GCP microservices to optimize for cost, performance, and scalability. Security & Compliance: Partner with InfoSec to ensure data integrity and encryption standards are maintained as sensitive information moves between Sales, Marketing and adjacent systems. What you'll bring Required 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 4+ years specifically architecting and developing on the Salesforce platform at scale. Mastery of Apex and LWC: Deep expertise in writing modular, asynchronous, and bulk-safe Apex, along with advanced Lightning Web Component development (State Management, Lightning Message Service). Distributed Systems & Integration: Experience designing Event-Driven Architectures using Salesforce Platform Events, Change Data Capture (CDC), and message brokers (Pub/Sub, Kafka, or RabbitMQ). Full-Stack Proficiency: Hands-on experience building applications in at least one backend language outside of Salesforce (e.g., Node.js, Go, Python, or Java). API Design: Expert-level understanding of RESTful API design, OAuth 2.0, and managing service boundaries between a CRM and external cloud services. Modern DevOps/DX: Experience with Salesforce DX (SFDX), version-control-based development (Git), and building automated CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar). Technical Leadership: Experience acting as a Staff or Lead Engineer, mentoring mid-level developers and driving architectural decisions across multiple teams or workstreams. Preferred Framework Builder: History of creating and open-sourcing (or evangelizing) reusable frameworks (e.g., Custom Trigger Frameworks, Unit Testing Mocking utilities, or LWC Base Component libraries). Certified Architect: Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA) or System/Application Architect credentials, or Google Professional Cloud Architect certification. GCP Cloud Native: Deep experience with Google Cloud Platform, specifically Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, and Workload Identity Federation. Data Engineering at Scale: Experience managing massive datasets that span Salesforce and external data lakes, including Salesforce Connect, Big Objects, or OData. Security-First Mindset: Familiarity with Salesforce Shield, Event Monitoring, and zero-trust security patterns across a multi-cloud stack. System Observability: Experience setting up distributed tracing and centralized logging (e.g., streaming Salesforce logs to GCP Cloud Logging or Splunk).
