Principal Salesforce Engineer to own the architecture, scalability, and long-term evolution of our Revenue Technology platform.
Responsibilities
- We are looking for a Principal Salesforce Engineer to own the architecture, scalability, and long-term evolution of our Revenue Technology platform.
- This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who operates as both a systems thinker and hands-on builder. You will define how our Salesforce ecosystem—and its surrounding systems—scale with the business, while directly contributing to implementation.
- You will not just advise on architecture—you will set direction, challenge constraints, and drive execution. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable defining multi-quarter architectural strategy (60% of the time) and developing solutions (40% of the time) in complex, high-stakes systems.
Other
- Define and drive the end-to-end architecture of our Salesforce and RevTech ecosystem (Salesforce, CPQ, billing, integrations, data flows)
- Establish a multi-quarter architectural vision that balances flexibility, scalability, and operational simplicity
- Identify systemic risks and proactively evolve the platform to prevent future constraints—not just react to current needs
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to design solutions and deliver technical implementations that align with business objectives
- Set the standard for clean architecture, maintainable automation, and scalable system design
- Identify and aggressively reduce tech debt, redundant logic, and fragile implementations
- Provide architectural oversight to prevent poor design decisions and fragmented solutions
- Partner with Financial systems team to develop end to end solutions across SalesForce , Integration layer (Boomi experience preferred) and ERP (NetSuite experience preferred)
- Act as a force multiplier—raising the technical bar across the team through mentorship and guidance
- Take ownership of ambiguous, high-impact problems and drive them to clear, scalable solutions
- Balance competing priorities (speed vs. scalability, customization vs. standardization) with strong technical judgment
- Operate with urgency while maintaining a high bar for system quality and durability
- Design and develop end-to-end Salesforce solutions using declarative tools (Flows, Screen Flows, and Process Automation) and programmatic development (Apex, Lightning Web Components and Visualforce Pages)
- Lead and execute complex system redesigns (e.g., CPQ/product modeling, replacing custom logic with native functionality, automation frameworks)
- Support integrations between Salesforce and other enterprise applications, ensuring data consistency and smooth system interactions
- Lead Salesforce release management and deployment processes, including Sandboxes, Change Sets, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Troubleshoot and resolve Salesforce issues, ensuring system stability and optimal performance
- Document configurations, processes, and technical solutions to support knowledge sharing and maintainability
- Debug and resolve deeply complex issues across systems, integrations, and data layers
- Own end-to-end data integrity and consistency across Salesforce and downstream systems and how it impacts reporting
- 7–10+ years of experience implementing, configuring, and scaling Salesforce environments in complex or high-growth organizations
- Strong hands-on expertise with Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, integrations/APIs, and data modeling
- Nice to have: Salesforce certifications including SalesForce Certified Platform Developer, Platform Developer II , Application Architect and/or System Architect (or equivalent depth of experience); CPQ/RCA experience strongly preferred
- Proven track record of designing and delivering scalable, multi-system architectures
- Experience leading end-to-end system ownership, from architecture through implementation and ongoing optimization
- Experience and deep understanding of the quote to cash process, including complex pricing models and contract lifecycle
- Strong ability to take ambiguous problems and deliver pragmatic, durable solutions
- Deep understanding of data integrity, system reliability, and integration patterns
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills; ability to manage non technical and technical stakeholders
- Champion the intentional integration of AI capabilities into solutions, driving the organization’s evolution toward a more agentic, automation-first operating model
- Demonstrated strong adherence to SDLC best practices, ensuring disciplined design, development, testing, and deployment of solutions with a focus on quality, scalability, and maintainability
- You'll get competitive perks and benefits , from health & wellness to equity, to help you bring your best self to work.
- The US base salary range for this full-time position is $170,000 - $225,000 annually + equity + benefits
