Software Architect (Fullstack, Salesforce)

Hands-On Software Architect

A senior engineer who designs the system and writes the hardest code in it.

• Designs the three-layer architecture (Salesforce Azure portal/mobile) and personally builds the core of it.
• Owns the trickiest integrations and the parts no one else can do yet leads from the codebase not from a deck.
• Makes and defends build-vs-buy calls (portal product vs. Salesforce Experience Cloud vs. custom) with real cost/time/control reasoning.
• Sets standards by doing: repos CI/CD code review tests secure coding and documentation that survives the author leaving.
• Mentors the Senior Engineer through code not just meetings.
• Expect roughly 60 70% of their time writing/reviewing code the rest on design and direction. A candidate who wants to stop coding is wrong for this role.

Requirements:

• Currently hands-on and want to stay hands-on. Recent shipped code is required.
• At least two production languages. React is a JavaScript/TypeScript framework not a separate language the real bar is JavaScript/TypeScript plus Python (Apex a strong bonus). One language pass.
• Built front end back end and database genuinely full-stack.
• Salesforce Experience.
• Hands on Work on Cloud (AWS Azure etc.)
• Shipped at least one product to real external customers.
• Git CI/CD and a documentation habit.

Must-have / Strong-plus / Nice-to-have

Must-have

• Hands-on now; recent production code; wants to keep coding
• 2 production languages incl. JS/TS Python (or equivalent)
• Full-stack: front end back end database demonstrably
• Azure (or transferable cloud) with named services not Ive used cloud
• Shipped to real external users
• Distributed/scale awareness (services talking to each other queues async reliability)

Strong-plus

• Salesforce depth (Apex / LWC / Experience Cloud / integrations) the differentiator for the Architect
• Mobile shipped to an app store
• AI/LLM feature work
• Fintech / lending / regulated-data experience

Nice-to-have

• Power BI / data-viz
• IaC (Bicep/Terraform) containers
• Insurance or premium-finance domain exposure
