• Establish and enforce engineering best practices, including code reviews, unit testing, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation standards.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
• Collaborate across teams to integrate Salesforce with other enterprise systems (e.g., ERP, data platforms), ensuring seamless data flow and user experience.
• Proactively identify and resolve technical challenges, including performance bottlenecks, security concerns, and platform limitations.
• Stay current with Salesforce platform updates, evaluating new features and recommending adoption strategies where appropriate.
