• 4+ years of experience managing Salesforce engineering teams, including developers and/or administrators.
• Deep technical expertise in Salesforce technologies, including Apex, SOQL, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flow, security and sharing models, governor limits, and Salesforce data architecture.
• Strong experience with Salesforce DevOps practices and tools, including Salesforce DX (SFDX), Git, source-driven development, CI/CD pipelines, sandbox management, and automated testing.
• Proven ability to translate complex business requirements into practical technical solutions and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong leadership, mentoring, coaching, communication, organizational, and prioritization skills.
• Demonstrated ability to balance hands‑on engineering responsibilities with people management and team development.
• Experience in hospitality, travel, timeshare, vacation ownership, or reservation‑based industries is a plus.
• Familiarity with Salesforce Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, or Marketing Cloud is an advantage.
