Salesforce Technical Lead

About the Role

We are seeking a Salesforce Technical Lead to run the technical side of a delivery squad: breaking design into work, setting the standards the squad builds to, reviewing what comes out, and making the calls that do not need an architect. This is a hands-on role—roughly half of your week is spent building—and it is the role that allows a pod to deliver without a full-time architect attached.

This is a full-time, remote position delivered from AspenView’s Latin American delivery centers into a North American client team. You will work the client’s core business hours with substantial time-zone overlap, operating as part of the client’s squad under AspenView delivery leadership.

What You Will Do

Technical Leadership

• Decompose solution designs into technical tasks with clear interfaces between them
• Set and enforce the squad’s coding, testing, and review standards
• Make day-to-day technical decisions and escalate only what genuinely needs architecture input

Hands-On Delivery

• Build the hardest parts of the solution—integration layers, async frameworks, and complex Apex
• Run code review as a teaching mechanism, not a gate

Delivery Management

• Own the squad’s technical estimate and defend it with reasoning
• Manage the release: branching, environment promotion, deployment validation, and rollback planning
• Track and pay down technical debt as part of normal sprints

People & Stakeholders

• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers and make them measurably better
• Represent the squad in client technical discussions

What Success Looks Like

• The squad delivers committed scope without heroics at the end of the sprint
• Code review finds design issues rather than formatting issues
• Engineers on the squad take on work above their previous level
• Escalations to architecture are fewer and better framed

What You Bring

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent experience

Experience

• 7+ years building on Salesforce, including 2+ years leading a delivery squad
• Experience estimating and committing to delivery scope, and being held to it
• Track record of raising the technical standard of a team, with specifics
• Professional English—able to run requirement and design conversations directly with North American stakeholders

Technical Expertise

• Apex at depth—async patterns, trigger frameworks, bulkification, and governor limits
• Lightning Web Components (LWC) and modern front-end practice on the platform
• Integration patterns and hands-on experience with at least one middleware or iPaaS platform
• Git branching strategy, CI/CD, and package-based development

Certifications

• Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II, or Platform Developer I with equivalent demonstrated depth

Soft Skills

This is a contributor role, not a task-execution role. The team already has people who deliver what they are handed—what it needs is people who question whether the right thing is being built, and say so.

• Holds a point of view and states it, including to senior stakeholders, and including after a decision has been made when new evidence warrants reopening it
• Asks why a process, data model, or delivery standard exists before extending it, rather than replicating an incumbent pattern because it is the incumbent pattern
• Surfaces risk, ambiguity, and weak requirements at the moment they are noticed—not at the sprint review, and not at go-live
• Works past the assigned ticket: proposes better approaches, improves what sits around the work, and leaves the team’s practice stronger than it was found
• Argues from evidence and changes position on evidence—comfortable being wrong in public, uncomfortable staying quiet
