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.
