  Define and enforce development standards, implement scalable designs, and ensure maintainable codebase quality through code reviews and mentorship.
• Platform Optimization:
  Resolve complex issues including performance bottlenecks, Apex governor limits, and integration latency.
• Hands-on Troubleshooting:
  Investigate and resolve Apex and Flow exceptions, conduct root cause analysis, and deploy permanent fixes in a timely and scalable way.
• CI/CD & DevOps Alignment:
  Collaborate with DevOps teams to ensure proper release management and CI/CD workflows using tools like Copado, Git, and SFDX.
• Cross-functional Collaboration:
  Partner with stakeholders to understand technical requirements and translate business needs into Salesforce solutions.
• Mentorship & Guidance:
  Support the technical growth of other Salesforce developers, helping them write cleaner code and adopt platform best practices.

What We’re Looking For:

• Expert in Apex, SOQL, Lightning Web Components, Flows, Validation Rules, and Process Builder
• Solid experience with Salesforce APIs, platform events, and third-party integrations

• Excellent communication skills—able to articulate technical decisions clearly and confidently
• Strong commitment to clean, maintainable, and testable code

Technical Expertise:

• Proficiency in Salesforce declarative tools (e.g., Flows, Lightning App Builder, Validation Rules) and custom development with Apex.
• Deep knowledge of Salesforce best practices, data modeling, security, and integration patterns.
• Advanced troubleshooting skills for diagnosing complex issues in customized environments.

Communication and Interpersonal Skills:

• Ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the organization, fostering trust and collaboration with stakeholders of diverse backgrounds and functions.
