Staff Salesforce Engineer, Thomas

Description

The company runs a digital marketplace that connects buyers, including Fortune 1000 companies, with manufacturers. The role sits on the Salesforce Platform Team as the technical lead for the Thomas Salesforce org.

The platform handles every advertiser contract, lead, renewal and invoice, along with the integrations that pass them to HubSpot, Intacct and ZoomInfo. You will work closely with Sales, Sales Ops and Finance to make the platform reliable, well governed and predictable. The role is high visibility and hands-on, and it has no direct reports.

Responsibilities

• Turn a reactive backlog into a prioritized, owned delivery process: make sure every ticket leaving Triage has a named owner and a sized estimate, and lead sprint planning, story time and retro on the 14-day cadence.
• Own the design and health of the Salesforce integrations with Intacct, HubSpot and ZoomInfo, plus CPQ, contracts, change orders and lead routing. Fix integration failures at the root cause using error handling, idempotency and reconciliation, rather than one ticket at a time.
• Guide build-versus-buy and declarative-versus-programmatic decisions. Keep the org maintainable by moving all metadata through Gearset and GitHub CI/CD, ruling out direct-to-production changes, and maintaining a current technical roadmap that includes structural debt.
• Write Apex, LWC and Flow for the hardest problems. Review pull requests and mentor developers and admins on Salesforce best practices. Set technical expectations for onshore and offshore contractors, review their work, and give the Sr. Manager written assessments of their delivery quality.
• Act as the technical escalation point for production incidents and lead root-cause analysis.
• Build strong working relationships with Sales, Sales Ops, Finance, Marketing, IT and the Marketplace Salesforce team. When a request is the wrong solution, explain your reasoning clearly and push back.
• Own the technical side of SOX compliance for the platform: prepare and review deployment audit evidence, produce the recurring SOX reports for Finance and auditors, and run connected-app and API access reviews.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of professional Salesforce development experience in a fast-paced, problem-solving environment, with Apex and Lightning Web Components running in production and fluency in Flow and declarative configuration.
• A Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• Proven experience designing Salesforce integrations with ERP and marketing automation systems such as Intacct, NetSuite, HubSpot or Marketo, using Salesforce APIs and middleware or cloud services such as AWS.
• Experience with Salesforce CPQ, contracts and the change-order lifecycle.
• Experience deploying Salesforce code through a full SDLC: code review, testing, multi-environment management and a CI/CD pipeline such as Gearset or Copado, using Git-based workflows.
• Experience supporting SOX controls for a Salesforce org, including deployment audit evidence, access reviews, permission governance and reporting to Finance or auditors.
• Working code in JavaScript, Python or Java beyond Apex, and SQL for data investigation.
• Experience guiding a team's technical direction, including mentoring through code review and leading team ceremonies. Experience with distributed or offshore contributors is a plus.
• Ability to communicate clearly with everyone from a Finance controller to a nearshore developer.
• Salesforce certifications such as Platform Developer I and II are strongly preferred. Technical Architect, Administrator or CPQ Specialist is a plus.
• Experience in a B2B marketplace, media and advertising, or subscription-revenue business is a plus.
• Practical use of AI tooling in development is a plus. The team uses Claude and Cursor as approved standards.
