We are a Salesforce-centric organization with a modern, multi-platform engineering stack spanning Salesforce, Mule Soft, Informatica Cloud, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS. We are looking for a seasoned engineer who is excellent at engineering fundamentals first and tied to no single platform second — someone who can operate across our ecosystem and, just as importantly, partner with the specialists already on the team.

You do not need to be a Salesforce expert. You do need to be the kind of engineer other strong engineers want in the room: someone who picks up unfamiliar systems quickly, reasons about design across platforms, and can sit down with a Mule Soft or backend specialist and push their thinking forward on their own turf. Over time you will act as a senior technical anchor across our stack — writing and reviewing code, shaping technical design, and helping the team work as a unit rather than a set of parallel lanes.

This role suits someone with genuine drive: curious, adaptable, and hungry to take on more over time. It is the kind of role that grows with the person in it.

• Design, build, and maintain solutions across our stack — backend services, integrations, data flows, and (with ramp-up) Salesforce customizations.
• Serve as a technical partner and advisor to specialists across the team — reasoning about Mule Soft integrations with our integration engineers, backend and data design with our database engineers, and Salesforce approaches with our platform engineers — challenging and strengthening technical decisions across domains.
• Lead and elevate code reviews and technical discussion, raising the bar for quality, maintainability, and consistency, and helping establish these as everyday practice across the team.
• Own and improve our deployment and release process — CI/CD pipelines, environment and branch management, and safe, repeatable production deployments.
• Build and maintain integrations between Salesforce and external systems using Mule Soft and APIs.
• Develop backend logic, data processing, and automation in Python; work with PostgreSQL for data modeling, queries, and performance; leverage AWS for hosting, compute, and supporting cloud services.
• Explore and evaluate new technologies where they can meaningfully improve how we build.
• Ramp into Salesforce development and configuration, eventually contributing to and advising on Salesforce solutions.
• Troubleshoot production issues across systems and drive them to resolution.
• Mentor engineers, share knowledge, and help raise the technical bar of the people around you.

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of principal‑or staff‑level technical contribution (years can be adjusted for the right person).
• Strong general‑purpose programming skills and solid computer‑science fundamentals — platform‑agnostic, and someone who learns new technologies quickly.
• Hands‑on experience with at least three of the following, and the demonstrated ability to ramp into the rest:
• Python (or a comparable backend language)
• Relational databases such as PostgreSQL
• Cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS
• Integration / middleware platforms (Mule Soft, or similar iPaaS / API integration experience)
• JavaScript and modern web development
• Experience designing and reasoning about system architecture and integrations across multiple platforms.
• Strong code‑review skills and a genuinely high bar for code quality and engineering practices — someone for whom rigor is a held value, not a tolerated process.
• The ability to earn influence through credibility rather than title — able to partner with and constructively challenge experienced engineers in domains that aren't their own, and move them without formal authority.
• Practical experience with CI/CD, version control (Git), and managing deployments to production.
• Excellent communication skills — able to explain technical trade‑offs to engineers and non‑engineers, and to give clear, constructive feedback.
• A…
