About the Role

We are looking for a Principal Salesforce Engineer to own the architecture, scalability, and long-term evolution of our Revenue Technology platform.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who operates as both a systems thinker and hands-on builder. You will define how our Salesforce ecosystem—and its surrounding systems—scale with the business, while directly contributing to implementation.

You will not just advise on architecture—you will set direction, challenge constraints, and drive execution. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable defining multi-quarter architectural strategy (60% of the time)  and developing solutions (40% of the time) in complex, high-stakes systems.

What You’ll Accomplish

Architecture and Leadership:

• Define and drive the end-to-end architecture of our Salesforce and RevTech ecosystem (Salesforce, CPQ, billing, integrations, data flows)
• Establish a multi-quarter architectural vision that balances flexibility, scalability, and operational simplicity
• Identify systemic risks and proactively evolve the platform to prevent future constraints—not just react to current needs
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to design solutions and deliver technical implementations that align with business objectives
• Set the standard for clean architecture, maintainable automation, and scalable system design
• Identify and aggressively reduce tech debt, redundant logic, and fragile implementations
• Provide architectural oversight to prevent poor design decisions and fragmented solutions
• Partner with Financial systems team to develop end to end solutions across SalesForce , Integration layer (Boomi experience preferred) and ERP
