Full description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Fundingo is a loan servicing platform built natively on Salesforce. Our customers are lenders and loan servicers who use Fundingo to run their day-to-day operations. Our delivery team works directly with those customers, building custom implementations, integrations, and data migrations that fit Fundingo to how each customer runs their business.
As a Lead Salesforce Developer, you'll set the technical direction for our delivery projects. You'll make the architecture decisions, own our Git-based development process and code standards, review the team's code, and direct the work of the Salesforce developers on each project. You'll also take part in internal strategy discussions and join sales conversations with prospective clients who need integration expertise.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role, with development in Apex and Lightning Web Components as the primary focus. You’ll also lead technical design, review code, and guide developers on assigned delivery projects. The balance will vary based on project complexity and team needs.
You'll direct the developers' work on your projects, but this isn't a people-management role: developers don't report to you, and you won't handle things like time-off requests. It is also not an admin or configuration role.
WHAT YOU’LL DOArchitecture and technical direction
● Own the technical design for delivery projects, including automation, integration patterns, and how custom work extends Fundingo without fighting it. Document and communicate these designs so the team and the customer can understand them.
● Choose the right tool for each requirement, whether that's Apex, Flow, Lightning Web Components, or configuration, and know when not to write code.
● Weigh speed, scalability, and maintainability against each other, and communicate these considerations to the team.
● Design integrations with outside systems like payment processors, accounting systems, and document providers that are reliable and easy to support.
Development process and code quality
● Own the Git-based development workflow for delivery projects, including branching, pull requests, merge rules, and deployment practices, aligned with Fundingo’s company-wide engineering standards.
● Use and enforce our company's coding standards, naming conventions, and design patterns, and make sure the implementation team follows them.
● Review pull requests for correctness, security, performance, test quality, and fit with the design. Your feedback should help developers grow, not just get their code merged.
Team leadership and communication
● Lead the developers' work on each project by assigning and sequencing tasks, pairing with them, unblocking them, and helping them improve their design and debugging skills.
