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.
