Technical Lead (Salesforce)

Location: Fully Remote (United States)

Summary:

Build your career where technical depth meets delivery ownership. We are a remote-first, global team of Salesforce and Amazon experts offering comprehensive benefits, equity in a high-growth company, and the autonomy to grow your career on your own terms.

As a Technical Lead, you are the hands-on technical backbone of Thunder's delivery teams. You blend deep coding expertise in Apex, LWC, and Salesforce integrations with the ability to manage and mentor a development team, translate architectural designs into working solutions, and keep complex builds on track. You'll work closely with Solution and Technical Architects - turning their designs into detailed technical execution - while also being the person your team and your client trust to solve the hardest day-to-day technical problems. You're a builder, a team lead, and a quality gatekeeper, ensuring every sprint ships clean, well-architected code on schedule.

Responsibilities:

Translate Technical Design Documents (TDDs) and solution designs from Architects into detailed low-level design, user stories, and development tasks.
Write high-quality Apex, LWC, and integration code, and review team code to enforce standards, performance, and scalability best practices.
Manage and mentor on- and offshore development resources - allocating work, unblocking issues, and driving day-to-day technical execution across the team.
Refine user stories with the Architect and Product/Delivery leads to flag technical feasibility risks (security, visibility, scalability, extensibility, performance) before development begins.
Execute assigned portions of data migration plans (mapping, transformation, load validation) as defined by the Data Architect, and flag data quality or design issues early.
Participate in client design sessions and workshops as the technical feasibility voice - validating what's buildable, estimating effort, and surfacing risks to the Architect and Delivery Lead.
Own environment and release management execution: branching strategy, deployment pipelines, and release calendars (Git/Copado), following standards set by the Architect/DevOps function.
Actively triage bugs, track technical milestones, and serve as the team's escalation point for technical blockers - escalating design-level issues to the Architect when they exceed Lead-level scope.

Requirements:

3–5+ years of Salesforce consulting experience, with the most recent 2–3+ years as a Technical Lead or Senior Developer
2–4+ years of experience managing or mentoring offshore/onshore development resources
3+ years of hands-on Lightning, LWC, Apex, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Salesforce API development experience
Strong understanding of the core Salesforce platform (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud) with functional awareness of the broader Product Suite (Agentforce, Marketing Cloud, AWS/Amazon Connect, etc.)
Working knowledge of data integration patterns and tools (ERP, data warehouse, marketing, AWS, Azure, reporting) sufficient to execute integration work designed by an Architect
Strong understanding of Development Lifecycle, environment and release management, org strategy, branching strategies, and deployment methodologies (Git or Copado experience preferred)
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment, either on a team or as an individual contributor
Excellent client-facing written, presentation, and verbal communication skills
Comfortable working within Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery methodologies
Active Salesforce certifications, with willingness to pursue additional certifications; examples:
- Platform Developer I & II, Platform App Builder, Service Cloud Consultant, Experience Cloud Consultant
- Application Architect (or progress toward it) as a growth path for those aiming toward architecture
