• Strong understanding of Clean Code, SOLID principles, Design Patterns, and Salesforce best practices.
• Expertise with Apex, SOQL/SOSL, Flows, Lightning Web Components, Triggers, and Azure DevOps.
• A passion for continuous learning - whether through blogging, open-source contributions, or tech community involvement.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and work across diverse teams.
• A growth mindset and curiosity to innovate and find optimal technical solutions.

Join a culture that invests in people, encourages curiosity, and empowers engineers to make a real impact.
