  • Strong command of Salesforce development technologies, including Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flows, and Platform Events, with the ability to evaluate build-vs-configure trade-offs.
  • Experience establishing data architecture, security models, DevOps practices, and deployment strategies for complex Salesforce programs, including governance and compliance considerations.

These Will Help You Stand Out
  • Active Salesforce certifications, such as Salesforce Certified Application Architect, System Architect, or CTA (Certified Technical Architect).
  • Experience working in or architecting solutions for the Financial Services or Insurance industry, particularly in claims or policy management domains.
