This role sits at the center of how we operate and grow. We are seeking a Sr. Salesforce Platform Engineer who combines architect-level thinking with hands-on technical execution. Someone who will be a foundational member of our Systems team and help build the technology infrastructure that powers everything we do. This is not an advisory role. We need someone who designs solutions, builds them, integrates them, and owns them end-to-end. The right candidate is a Salesforce expert and multi-system integrator who understands how enterprise systems connect, owns integration architecture across the full technology environment (not just Salesforce), and actively uses Claude and Claude Code to drive automation across the SDLC. If you want to build something meaningful from the ground up, establishing an in-house platform engineering capability at a firm where technology is becoming a true differentiator. This is that opportunity.\nRoles and Responsibilities\nResponsibilities\nPlatform Architecture & Salesforce Ownership\nOwn end-to-end solution design and execution for the Salesforce platform, including data models, integration architecture, automation patterns, configuration, custom code, deployment, and maintenance.\nMake independent architectural decisions within established guardrails; collaborate with the internal architect on complex or cross-system decisions.\nDevelop and maintain Apex classes, triggers, batch jobs, LWC, SOQL, and SFDX-based deployments.\nOwn integration architecture and technical guidance across the full technology ecosystem, not limited to Salesforce. When any systems need to connect, this role defines how.\nLead the technical configuration and integration of new systems brought into the environment, including those that interact with Salesforce and those that do not.\nDefine and enforce technical standards, patterns, and best practices for the platform.\nAI-Assisted Development & Automation\nUse Claude, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and Agentforce as primary development instruments - automation-first engineering throughout the full SDLC.\nFollow a systematic AI development workflow: AI-assisted code generation → rigorous review and validation → automated testing → controlled CI/CD deployment. Never AI-generated code straight to production.\nBuild AI-driven workflows to eliminate manual tasks and measurably increase throughput across requirements, design, build, test, and release.\nSet and model the standard for responsible, systematic AI-assisted development across the team.\nChange Control & DevOps\nOwn Git-based change control (GitHub, Bitbucket, or equivalent): branching, PR governance, code review standards, and release management for all Salesforce development.\nBuild and maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated testing and deployment validation before changes reach production.\nEnsure all changes (configuration, code, and integrations) are version-controlled, traceable, and auditable.\nTechnical Leadership, Agile & Stakeholder Partnership\nServe as technical lead for QA testers and developers; manage the Systems Project Board and sprint flow.\nPartner with the internal architect for guidance and provide technical oversight for external developers as the team scales.\nTranslate business requirements into sprint-ready technical solutions in partnership with the Product Manager.\nMust be available for U.S. stakeholder meetings during evening hours (IST), typically 6:00-9:00 PM IST, to maintain overlapping business hours with the U.S. team. Communicate status, risks, and dependencies proactively.\nOwn the debugging and case board; scale into team management as QA and development resources grow.\nCandidate Profile\n\n5+ years hands-on Salesforce experience - configuration AND development (Apex, LWC, SOQL, APIs, administration)\n1+ year using AI coding tools (Claude / Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) with a systematic workflow: AI development → code review → automated testing → controlled deployment\nArchitect-level solution design - data modeling, integration architecture, platform standards\nBroad system integration experience - REST APIs, OAuth 2.0, middleware, databases (SQL/NoSQL), and third-party platforms. Comfortable architecting integrations between any combination of systems, not limited to Salesforce\n\nGit-based version control (GitHub, Bitbucket, or equivalent): branching, PR governance, Salesforce CI/CD\nExperience directing or guiding QA testers and/or developers on technical deliverables\nActive Agile participation - sprint planning, standups, backlog grooming, retrospectives\nSalesforce certifications (Admin, Platform Developer I or II, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud)\nSalesforce Architect certification (Application Architect, System Architect, or CTA) - a plus, not required\nFamiliarity with JavaScript and Google Apps Script for Google Workspace integrations\n\nTools & Platforms\nCandidates should be comfortable working across the following:\nSalesforce - Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, custom objects and integrations\nClaude & Claude Code - primary AI development environment (enterprise license)\nGit-based version control - GitHub / Bitbucket, CI/CD pipelines, SFDX, Gearset or equivalent\nGoogle Workspace - Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Apps Script integrations\nProject management - Jira | Additional AI tooling - Codex, GitHub Copilot, Agentforce","description_format":"text","description_chars":5616,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Investment Holding Companies"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T07:55:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.814,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":14,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kingfish-group-sr-salesforce-platform-engineer-ai-automation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kingfish-group-sr-salesforce-platform-engineer-ai-automation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T07:03:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9982,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3364888},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3364888"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkingfish-group-sr-salesforce-platform-engineer-ai-automation"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkingfish-group-sr-salesforce-platform-engineer-ai-automation"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkingfish-group-sr-salesforce-platform-engineer-ai-automation"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kingfish-group-sr-salesforce-platform-engineer-ai-automation\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkingfish-group-sr-salesforce-platform-engineer-ai-automation"}]}
