Staff Salesforce Engineer

An overview of this role

We're looking for a Staff Salesforce Developer who thrives on solving complex business challenges through innovative technical solutions. In this role, you'll be the technical architect and hands-on developer responsible for transforming our Lead-to-Cash ecosystem. You'll spearhead critical Go-To-Market initiatives, drive complex implementations, and build enterprise-scale solutions that directly impact revenue operations.

As a key member of our Salesforce GTM engineering team, you'll bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and business strategy, working directly with executive leadership to shape how we sell, price, and deliver our products. This isn't just a development role; you'll be a technical leader, mentor, and strategic partner who owns the full lifecycle of mission-critical Salesforce implementations.

What You’ll Do

• Take complete ownership of Salesforce Sales Cloud solution design and implementation, ensuring scalability, performance, and long-term stability across complex projects
• Drive custom Go-To-Market (GTM) initiatives by building custom components or systems to supplement and enhance standard CPQ functionality
• Support Quote-to-Cash (QTC) transformation initiatives with comprehensive understanding of Lead-to-Cash processes
• Partner closely with business leaders to understand strategic goals and translate them into actionable technical roadmaps
• Act as technical expert and mentor for the Salesforce GTM engineering team, coordinating activities and elevating team capabilities
• Coordinate complex technical projects from conception to delivery, managing dependencies and ensuring successful outcomes
• Apply sound technical judgment in determining when to leverage commoditized platforms versus building custom solutions

What You’ll Bring 

• 6+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience with deep expertise in Apex, Process Automation, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and SOQL
• 5+ years building enterprise-grade applications with custom application development using modern frameworks
• Proven experience in architecture, design, and implementation of high-complexity projects for Sales Cloud, CPQ, Service Cloud Console, and related systems
• Strong background in developing secure solutions that leverage native Salesforce practices for data protection and compliance
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, Salesforce DX (SFDX), and deployment tools such as Gearset and Copado
• Proven track record designing and scaling enterprise systems that handle high-volume operations

Technical Excellence:

• Strong commitment to writing clean, testable, and maintainable code with focus on building scalable, resilient systems
• Excellent communication skills for translating complex technical concepts to business stakeholders
• Passionate about mentoring team members and driving a culture of technical excellence and knowledge sharing

Preferred Qualifications:
