Job description

Senior Salesforce Administrator The Senior Salesforce Administrator plays a key role on our Salesforce team, helping design, build, and support solutions used across Foundation Software. We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Salesforce professional who brings strong technical expertise, enjoys solving complex problems, and believes the best solutions are built collaboratively.

We also have a top-notch workout facility, fitness classes and free personal training; for those competitive types, a game room complete with table tennis, foosball, and video game systems. A full kitchen, free coffee, soft drinks, and snacks round out the comforts of home.
