Job Description

We are seeking a Salesforce Technical Architect / Senior Developer to take ownership of our enterprise Salesforce landscape and lead the architectural design, core engineering, and platform evolution.

In this high-impact, hybrid role, you will bridge the gap between technical architecture and hands-on execution. You will design scalable, secure, and well-governed Salesforce solutions while continuing to write Apex, build Lightning Web Components (LWC), and integrate Salesforce with complex upstream and downstream enterprise systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture & Solution Design: Design robust, end-to-end technical architectures across Salesforce core clouds (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud), ensuring alignment with enterprise security, performance, and scalability standards.

• Hands-on Core Engineering: Lead custom development efforts using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Visualforce, and Flow Builder, maintaining high standards for code quality, design patterns, and platform limits.

• Enterprise Integrations: Architect, build, and optimize secure real-time and batch integrations between Salesforce and enterprise systems (e.g., GCP, AWS, ERP, Middleware/MuleSoft) using REST/SOAP APIs, Event-Driven Architectures, and Change Data Capture (CDC).

• Technical Governance & DevOps: Establish and enforce Salesforce technical standards, code review protocols, environment management, and CI/CD deployment pipelines (e.g., Salesforce CLI, Copado, GitHub Actions).

• Data Architecture & Governance: Design scalable data models, manage data volume strategies, and ensure compliance with enterprise data privacy, security, and access controls (Shield, OWASP, Role Hierarchies).

• Stakeholder Leadership: Collaborate with Enterprise Architects, Business Analysts, and product owners to translate complex business requirements into elegant, out-of-the-box or custom technical solutions.

Qualifications

Essential Experience:

• Proven Engineering & Architectural Leadership: 7+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience with a track record of progressing into solution architecture or lead developer roles.

• Advanced Technical Capability: Deep expertise in Apex, LWC, Asynchronous Processing, Order of Execution, and Governor Limits optimization.

• Integration Expertise: Demonstrated experience designing and building RESTful/SOAP APIs, Webhooks, and event-driven integrations with modern cloud platforms.

• DevOps & Automation: Strong experience with Salesforce release management, Git-based version control, CI/CD pipelines, and scratch org management.

• Location: Sydney-based (or willing to work hybrid in Sydney) with full Australian working rights.

Desirable:

• Salesforce Certifications such as Application Architect, System Architect, Certified Technical Architect (CTA track), or Platform Developer II.

• Exposure to Salesforce Data Cloud, MuleSoft, or cross-cloud integrations with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or AWS.

• Experience working within Agile/Scrum delivery models in enterprise environments.
