Overview & Role Description
We are looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Salesforce Platform Administrator to join Delta’s Salesforce team at the Delta Technology Hub in Bangalore.

Resolve issues within your scope independently, document what you cannot resolve, and escalate to Senior colleagues, Salesforce Support, or Development team with structured, well-documented context to enable fast resolution.

Reproduce and document bugs, test fixes and workarounds, confirm resolution in the appropriate environment, and provide timely responses and actions to avoid delays.

- Org Health & Improvement Projects — Take on targeted projects to improve org health, performance, and security compliance as directed by business needs or platform evolution. Contribute to metadata hygiene, documentation standards, and platform governance initiatives.

Analyze upcoming changes, assess their impact, and provide structured input and recommendations on platform risk, adoption opportunities, and new features that could enhance user experience.
