• Troubleshoot complex integration, sync, data-quality, and deployment-pipeline issues across environments
• Partner with Product, Marketing, Sales, Legal/Privacy, and Architecture teams to deliver scalable, compliant solutions

• 10+ years of enterprise software engineering experience, with at least 8+ years focused on Salesforce and Marketing Technology platforms
• Expert-level hands-on experience with B2B Marketing Automation — Pardot / MCAE and/or Marketing Cloud (Email Studio, Journey Builder, Automation Studio, Contact Builder)
• Deep hands-on experience with Salesforce Data Cloud:
  Data Streams, Identity Resolution, Unified Profiles, Calculated Insights, Segmentation, Data Actions, and Activation
• Proven experience designing and deploying Agentforce agents and prompt templates for customer-facing or internal use cases
• Strong Salesforce development skills:
  Apex (Classes, Triggers, Batch/Scheduled, REST/SOAP callouts), Lightning Web Components, and Flows
• Integration experience using REST/SOAP APIs and an iPaaS or data-orchestration platform
• Ability to work autonomously, drive ambiguous initiatives to completion, and communicate technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders

• Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Specialist (Pardot)
• Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant
• Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I or II

• Hands-on experience with Marketing Cloud Next / Marketing Cloud Advanced (or a strong MCAE background with demonstrated ability to ramp quickly)

• Experience leading or contributing to a major Salesforce org migration or platform consolidation program
• Familiarity with 6sense, Openprise, or Qualtrics integrations in a B2B marketing context
• Familiarity with CI/CD for Salesforce: SFDX, Git-based deployment pipelines, and automated testing frameworks
