Key Skills

Salesforce Technical Lead Data Architecture Governance Apex Lightning Web Components Integration REST/SOAP Azure DevOps

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the Salesforce Technical Lead position at Launchpad Technologies. With over 7 years of hands-on experience in large, complex Salesforce orgs, I have a proven track record of cleaning up, stabilizing, and optimizing platforms. I am particularly drawn to this role because it combines my passion for technical architecture with the opportunity to lead a team and drive meaningful improvements.

In my previous roles, I have successfully addressed data governance, performance optimization, and integration challenges similar to those described in the job description. I am confident that my expertise in Apex, Lightning Web Components, and Azure integration, along with my ability to lead through influence, will enable me to make an immediate impact at Launchpad.

I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your team. Thank you for your consideration.

Walk me through how you would approach assessing and cleaning up a mature Salesforce org with data growth issues and governor limit risks.
First, I would conduct a thorough health check using tools like Salesforce Optimizer and custom reports to identify performance bottlenecks, unused components, and data storage usage. Then, I'd prioritize quick wins like archiving old data, optimizing queries and indexes, and refactoring bulk operations. Next, I'd work with the team to establish data retention policies and implement archiving solutions, while also reviewing and redesigning integrations to reduce API callouts. Finally, I'd document the new architecture and set up monitoring to prevent future issues.
How do you handle leading a team of developers who may be resistant to changing established practices?
I believe in leading by example and building trust. I start by understanding their current challenges and acknowledging their expertise. Then, I introduce changes incrementally, using data and best practices to justify improvements. I involve the team in decision-making and provide training where needed. Regular code reviews and pair programming sessions help align everyone with the new standards.
Describe your experience integrating Salesforce with Azure. What patterns have you used?
I have extensive experience using REST APIs and message queues (like Azure Service Bus) for real-time and batch integrations. I implement secure authentication using OAuth and often use Azure Logic Apps for orchestration. For data synchronization, I use Salesforce Streaming API combined with Azure Event Grid to ensure near-real-time data flow. I also leverage Azure Functions to handle complex transformations and maintain a robust error-handling framework.
Explain how you would optimize a Salesforce org that is hitting governor limits frequently.
I start by analyzing the source of the limits: query rows, CPU time, or API callouts. For query limits, I review SOQL queries to ensure they are selective and use indexes efficiently. I batch large data operations and use polymorphic fields carefully. For CPU time, I look for inefficient loops and refactor with collection processing. I also implement caching and asynchronous processing where possible. Finally, I set up alerts to proactively monitor limits.
What strategies do you use for documenting architecture decisions and ensuring they are followed?
I document decisions using lightweight ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) stored in a shared repository. I also create visual diagrams for data models and integration flows using tools like Lucidchart. To ensure adherence, I integrate documentation reviews into the development lifecycle and conduct periodic architecture walkthroughs. I find that involving the team in the documentation process increases ownership and compliance.

Who We Are

Launchpad Technologies Inc. is a global technology partner connecting top talent with high-impact projects across North America and beyond. We specialize in Staff Augmentation and product development, helping companies scale with agility while empowering professionals to grow in meaningful, remote-first environments.

We’re looking for a hands-on Salesforce Technical Lead to take ownership of a mature Salesforce implementation that has grown over time without consistent architectural governance. Salesforce has been in place for more than 8 years, with multiple developers and administrators contributing along the way. While the platform supports critical business processes, it currently faces data growth issues, governor limit constraints, and integration complexity. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys analyzing existing systems, cleaning things up, and making them scalable and maintainable, while still being close to the code.

🗓 Start date: ASAP
📆 Contract type: Contractor, Full-time, indefinite
🌐 Work hours: Monday to Friday, 7.30 to 16.30 PST – 100% Remote

🛠️ What You’ll Be Doing

  • Perform a technical and functional assessment of the current Salesforce org.
  • Analyze existing objects, automations, jobs, and queries to identify inefficiencies and unused components.
  • Address data storage growth, governor limit risks, and performance issues.
  • Define and implement data governance, retention, and archiving strategies.
  • Review and improve existing integrations between Salesforce and external systems.
  • Help define clear integration patterns aligned with the company’s broader Azure-based architecture.
  • Design and implement APIs and data synchronization flows using REST, SOAP, GraphQL, or event-based approaches where appropriate.
  • Act as the technical reference for a small Salesforce team (4–5 developers/admins).
  • Lead by example through hands-on development, refactoring, and architectural improvements.
  • Guide technical decisions, best practices, and implementation approaches.
  • Support estimation and planning from a technical perspective.
  • Work closely with the Director of Software Engineering and other engineers to align Salesforce with overall system architecture.
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering stakeholders to translate business needs into sustainable technical solutions.
  • Document architecture decisions, data models, and integration flows clearly.
