Senior Salesforce Developer/Technical Lead (Contract) Overview We are seeking a Senior Salesforce Developer/Technical Lead on a contract basis to own the design and delivery of Salesforce solutions in a complex, fast-moving environment. This role requires strong systems thinking, product-mindedness, and technical leadership–not just hands-on development. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in ambiguous environments, leading distributed teams, and making pragmatic trade-offs that balance user needs, scalability, and delivery velocity. Responsibilities ● Own the technical direction and system design of Salesforce solutions end-to-end. ● Translate ambiguous business goals into clear, scalable technical approaches. ● Partner closely with product and business stakeholders to shape requirements and solution direction. ● Lead and mentor offshore and distributed Salesforce developers. ● Establish and enforce technical standards, code quality, and architectural consistency. ● Review designs and implementations with an eye toward long-term maintainability and system health. ● Identify risks early and drive pragmatic mitigation strategies. ● Remain hands-on as needed to unblock delivery or prove patterns. What Success Looks Like ● Salesforce solutions are durable, understandable, and evolvable. ● Strict adherence to our operational rhythm and meeting hygiene. ● Offshore teams operate with clarity, autonomy, and accountability. ● Stakeholders trust technical recommendations and tradeoff decisions. ● Delivery is predictable without sacrificing system integrity. ● Complexity is actively reduced, not accumulated. Required Experience ● Significant experience designing and delivering Salesforce solutions at scale. ● Demonstrated ownership of Salesforce system architecture (not just feature delivery). ● Experience leading offshore and/or distributed development teams. ● Strong ability to reason about tradeoffs across performance, scalability, usability, and time-to-market. ● Comfort working with incomplete or evolving requirements. ● Clear, concise communication with both technical and non-technical audiences. Preferred Profile ● Product-minded engineer who thinks in terms of user outcomes and system impact. ● Independent, self-directed, and comfortable making decisions. ● Experience working as an independent consultant, technical lead, and/or consultant. ● Pragmatic approach to architecture—knows when to go deep and when to keep things simple. ● Platform Developer I, Platform Developer II, and Architecture certifications. Contract Details ● Full-time contract role (6+ months, likely extension). ● In-office Tuesday-Thursday, remote Monday and Friday. ● Preference for those with consulting experience. What This Role Is Not ● Not a junior or mid-level development role. ● Not ticket-only execution. ● Not a role requiring step-by-step direction or tightly scoped requirements.
