• Provide technical leadership across solution governance, DevSecOps enablement, and multi-org coordination.

Location: This position can be performed remotely within the United States and will support Eastern Time working hours.

• 7+ years of Salesforce platform experience, with at least 3+ years in an architecture leadership role.

• Mastery of Salesforce metadata architecture, declarative tools, Apex, LWC, and system integration practices.

• Bachelor’s degree required.

Certifications Required:

• Salesforce Application Architect or System Architect (at least one required)

• Salesforce Platform Developer I

• Salesforce Associate (or Trailhead credential equivalent)

Preferred:

• Experience integrating Salesforce with MuleSoft APIs and event-driven architectures.

• Hands-on design or implementation of Pulsar or comparable offline-access tooling.

• Familiarity with Tableau governance, dashboard structure, or embedded analytics in Salesforce.

• Experience leading enterprise-wide low-code implementations in IL4/FedRAMP environments.

Clearance:

• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
