About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Salesforce Developer who combines strong technical expertise with ownership, problem-solving, and clear communication.

You will work closely with architects, business analysts, clients, and delivery teams to build solutions that are scalable, maintainable, secure, and aligned with business objectives. Alongside development, you will also mentor junior developers and help drive engineering best practices across teams.
