• Mentor engineers across Java (Spring Boot, AWS, Kafka) and Salesforce (Apex, LWC, Flows) technologies
• Drive adoption of engineering best practices including testing strategy, CI/CD standards, instrumentation, and architectural consistency
• Own sprint planning, capacity modeling, and workload balancing to ensure predictable, high-quality delivery
• Develop milestone plans, proactively identifying dependencies, risks, and resource constraints
• Ensure sprint execution aligns with engineering standards, technical direction, and system reliability goals
• Monitor team throughput, quality metrics, and operational signals to drive continuous improvement
• Identify and mitigate engineering-level risks early, providing clear options and trade-offs
• Partner closely with Product Managers and TPMs to define requirements, refine scope, and translate features into actionable engineering tasks
• Collaborate with Operations, Support, Marketing, Data, Risk, and Compliance partners to ensure systems meet business and regulatory needs
• Communicate technical decisions, architectural changes, delivery timelines, and risks clearly and consistently
• Lead engineering contributions to change management, assessing system impacts, integration touchpoints, and rollout considerations
• Guide engineers in building and maintaining Java microservices, internal APIs, event-driven systems, and backend integration layers
• Ensure backend systems are performant, observable, resilient, and well-documented
• Drive improvements in reliability practices—including alerting, runbooks, dashboards, and post-incident processes

• Guide integration strategy between Salesforce and backend systems (REST APIs, events, streaming frameworks)
• Maintain strong data integrity, access control, and security standards across the Salesforce ecosystem
• Lead root-cause analysis and post-incident reviews, driving long-term engineering improvements
• Ensure systems include strong observability (metrics, logging, tracing) and performance tuning
• Identify systemic issues—technical debt, architectural shortcomings, or process gaps—and drive targeted engineering solutions
• Foster a culture of accountability, reliability, and continuous learning

Requirements:

• 2 or more years of engineering leadership experience with direct involvement in technical decision making
