Senior Salesforce Architect

About Propela Tech

Propela Tech is a healthcare-focused advisory and technology firm that helps organizations streamline operations, unlock their data, and scale more efficiently through custom-built tools. We're a team of technologists, former healthcare operators, and strategic thinkers who understand the real-world complexity of running healthcare businesses-and we build solutions that actually work.

What Matters Most

• Frame the right problem with clients; translate ambiguity into crisp requirements and success
• metrics.
• Design first, then build: choose the simplest architecture that meets the need with clear trade-
• offs.
• Own outcomes end-to-end: architecture → build → launch → operate.
• Communicate clearly: explain options in plain English and make decisions fast.

What We're Looking For

This role reports directly to our Chief Technology Officer, Chris Reynolds.

We're looking for a Senior Salesforce Architect who is a problem-solver first and a coder second. This role combines deep Salesforce platform expertise with AI-augmented development practices-you'll use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and other agentic AI systems to deliver production-ready solutions 2-3x faster than traditional workflows, while maintaining the judgment and architectural thinking that makes great developers irreplaceable.

You won't just use AI autocomplete. You'll orchestrate AI agents to consistently ship high-quality code, translate ambiguous client requirements into structured technical designs, and own features end-to-end across multiple consulting engagements, primarily in healthcare and regulated industries.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead AI-augmented Salesforce development to deliver secure, scalable solutions across Apex
• (triggers, batch, queueable), LWC, custom data models, and complex REST/SOAP integrations
• Translate ambiguous client requirements into clear technical designs; present solution options
• with defined trade-offs across cost, scalability, timeline, and maintainability•
  Own features end-to-end-from discovery and architecture through development, deployment,
• and post-launch optimization
• Establish CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows; enforce testing standards, security best
• practices, and high unit test coverage with meaningful validation logic
• Proactively identify technical risks, performance bottlenecks, and architectural debt; implement
• solutions that improve reliability and long-term platform health
• Push back constructively when requirements are unclear; tie technical decisions directly to
• business outcomes

Technical Requirements

Salesforce Platform

• Expert-level Apex: triggers, batch classes, queueable/schedulable jobs, test classes
• Strong Lightning Web Components (LWC) and/or Aura experience
• Deep understanding of data model design, governor limits, and platform best practices
• Integration experience: REST/SOAP APIs, middleware platforms, event-driven architecture
• SOQL/SOSL optimization and large data volume handling
• Security model proficiency: profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, field-level security

DevOps & Tooling

• Git workflows: pull requests, code reviews, branching strategies
• CI/CD for Salesforce: Salesforce DX, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar
• VS Code with Salesforce Extensions, Developer Console, Workbench
• Data migration tools and strategies: Data Loader, external ETL tools
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting across the Salesforce platform

AI-Assisted Development

You must demonstrate practical, production-level experience using AI development tools, not just

autocomplete. Specifically:

• Prompt Engineering: Craft detailed, context-rich prompts that produce correct, maintainable
• code. Structure requirements so AI tools can parse them effectively. Iterate when initial outputs
• miss the mark.
• Tool Orchestration: Break complex features into AI-friendly tasks. Know when AI output needs
• human review vs. when it can be trusted. Leverage AI for boilerplate, tests, documentation, and
• refactoring.
• Quality Assurance: Evaluate AI-generated code for security vulnerabilities, performance issues,
• and governor limit compliance. Ensure AI-produced tests achieve meaningful coverage.
• Recognize hallucinations quickly.
• Requirement Translation: Convert vague business requirements into structured specs that both humans and AI can work from. Build reusable prompt templates and context libraries that improve output consistency over time.

Healthcare / Regulated Industry (Preferred)

• Healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR)
• HIPAA compliance and PHI handling
• Insurance verification, claims processing, or patient management systems
• Health Cloud, OmniStudio, or healthcare-specific Salesforce products

Qualifications

Required

• 5+ years of Salesforce development with a strong portfolio of delivered projects
• Demonstrable experience using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
• in production development, with evidence of 2-3x productivity gains on appropriate tasks
• Salesforce Platform Developer I certification (minimum)
• Proven ability to work independently and drive projects with minimal supervision
• Strong written and verbal communication in English (direct US client interaction)
• Experience as a contractor/consultant managing multiple client projects simultaneously
• Comfortable with fast-paced, iterative development cycles

Preferred

• Salesforce Platform Developer II certification
• Healthcare or regulated industry development experience
• Background in data migration and complex integration projects
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps, JIRA, or similar project management tools
• Prior consulting or agency experience
• Active Salesforce community participation (Trailhead, Stack Exchange,)

Nice to Have

• Experience with Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, or Marketing Cloud
• Knowledge of modern JavaScript frameworks beyond LWC (React, Vue, Angular)
• Middleware/integration platforms: MuleSoft, Boomi, Jitterbit
• Backend technologies: Python, Node.js, or similar
