Salesforce Technical Lead

Who you are:

We're looking for an experienced Salesforce Technical Lead to own the technical direction of our Salesforce org. Salesforce is the system of record that powers Hometap's go-to-market, operations, and reporting, and you'll bring deep expertise in advanced configuration and administration, solution architecture, and technical leadership to a business-critical environment.

You bring a strong point of view on how to translate business needs into scalable, maintainable Salesforce solutions, whether that involves the data model, integration strategy, or automation standards. You're equally comfortable going deep on technical execution and stepping back to set direction, and you take pride in raising the bar for the admins and developers around you. You’re excited to collaborate closely with engineering, product, and business leaders to keep our Salesforce ecosystem healthy, secure, and ready for what's next.

What you'll do:

• Serve as the technical lead for our Salesforce ecosystem, owning solution design and ensuring adherence to platform best practices and architectural principles
• Partner with business stakeholders to understand strategic objectives and translate them into scalable Salesforce solutions across multiple clouds
• Lead the design and governance of data models, automation strategies, and integration patterns (both point-to-point and middleware-based)
• Provide technical guidance to administrators, developers, and cross-functional project teams, ensuring alignment and consistency across initiatives
• Oversee the technical aspects of Salesforce releases including platform updates, feature deprecations, end-of-life timelines, and evaluating new features for potential adoption
• Define and enforce development and deployment best practices, including CI/CD pipelines, version control, and sandbox strategy
• Lead code reviews, performance optimizations, and technical troubleshooting for complex issues
• Collaborate with engineering teams on integrations between Salesforce and our other platforms (both 3rd party and in-house), defining APIs, data flows, and error handling approaches
• Maintain strong security and compliance posture for the platform, conducting regular audits and implementing preventative controls
• Contribute to the creation and maintenance of robust technical documentation, solution diagrams, and governance policies

What you bring:

• 6+ years of Salesforce experience, with at least 2 years in a lead, solution design, or architecture-focused role
• Multiple Salesforce certifications (e.g., Platform Developer, Application Architect, System Architect) preferred
• Deep knowledge of Salesforce data model, security model, automation (Flow, Process Builder, Apex), and integration capabilities (REST/SOAP APIs, Middleware)
• Experience leading technical discovery sessions and documenting solutions with architectural diagrams and written proposals
• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile practices, and DevOps tooling (Gearset, Copado, or similar)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical audiences
• Experience with Financial Services Cloud, nCino, or other lending/fintech solutions is a plus
• Familiarity with modern front-end frameworks (Lightning Web Components, JavaScript) and data warehousing concepts is a plus
