Requirements
Role Purpose

As a Technical Leader – Salesforce Cloud, you'll own the technical direction, delivery quality, and engineering practices for Salesforce-centric cloud solutions.

You will be the technical bar-raiser and multiplier — enabling teams to scale efficiently and deliver excellence.
