Salesforce Technical Lead

Role Description

We're looking for an experienced Salesforce Technical Lead to own the technical direction of our Salesforce org. Salesforce is the system of record that powers Hometap's go-to-market, operations, and reporting. You'll bring deep expertise in advanced configuration and administration, solution architecture, and technical leadership to a business-critical environment.

• Serve as the technical lead for our Salesforce ecosystem, owning solution design and ensuring adherence to platform best practices and architectural principles.
• Partner with business stakeholders to understand strategic objectives and translate them into scalable Salesforce solutions across multiple clouds.
• Lead the design and governance of data models, automation strategies, and integration patterns (both point-to-point and middleware-based).
• Provide technical guidance to administrators, developers, and cross-functional project teams, ensuring alignment and consistency across initiatives.
• Oversee the technical aspects of Salesforce releases including platform updates, feature deprecations, end-of-life timelines, and evaluating new features for potential adoption.
• Define and enforce development and deployment best practices, including CI/CD pipelines, version control, and sandbox strategy.
• Lead code reviews, performance optimizations, and technical troubleshooting for complex issues.
• Collaborate with engineering teams on integrations between Salesforce and our other platforms (both 3rd party and in-house), defining APIs, data flows, and error handling approaches.
• Maintain strong security and compliance posture for the platform, conducting regular audits and implementing preventative controls.
• Contribute to the creation and maintenance of robust technical documentation, solution diagrams, and governance policies.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of Salesforce experience, with at least 2 years in a lead, solution design, or architecture-focused role.
• Multiple Salesforce certifications — Advanced Administrator, Platform App Builder, Sales or Service Cloud Consultant required; Application Architect or progress toward it strongly preferred.
• Proven track record designing scalable solutions using Salesforce configuration and custom development (Apex, LWC, API integrations).
• Strong knowledge of Salesforce data modeling, sharing/security model, governor limits, and performance considerations.
• Hands-on experience with DevOps tools for Salesforce (Gearset, Copado, or similar), CI/CD, and version control.
• Excellent facilitation skills — able to lead discovery workshops, explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences, and document solutions clearly.
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills, with a collaborative mindset.
• Experience working in a multi-environment (Production + multiple sandboxes) setup with a well-defined release process.
• A systems-thinking mindset, balancing immediate business needs with long-term platform health and scalability.

Requirements

• Salesforce Application Architect or Data Architect certification (bonus points).
• Experience in multi-cloud Salesforce environments (e.g., Sales, Service, Experience).
• Background in enterprise integration patterns or middleware (MuleSoft, Boomi, etc.).
• Familiarity with data warehousing or analytics integrations (Snowflake, Tableau, etc.).
• Previous experience guiding an organization along the Salesforce Architect career path — including technical mentoring and governance leadership.

Benefits

• Salary range: $150,000 - $165,000, depending on your experience, skills, location, and other factors.
• Meaningful equity, so you can share in our growth and success.
• Generous medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Work-from-home stipend.
• Parental leave.
• Plenty of paid time off to recharge.
