• Support promotions and loyalty rules, rewards, vouchers, coupons, offers, and transaction journals.
• Support birthday, anniversary, annual-gift, surprise-offer, and other event-driven processes, including integrations with commerce, point-of-sale, Marketing Cloud, and customer service.

Agentforce and Voice

• Provide architecture and technical support for Agentforce for Service, Agentforce Voice, Salesforce Voice, and related telephony integrations.
• Support contact-center routing and agent workflows, voice transcription and call records, Omni-Channel integration, agent-assist capabilities, knowledge recommendations, automated and AI-supported interactions, and escalation to live agents.

Integrations and Production Support

• Own and support integrations between Salesforce and external systems using MuleSoft, REST and SOAP APIs, platform events, scheduled and batch jobs, SFTP processes, and middleware connections.
• Quickly determine whether an issue originates in Salesforce, Marketing Cloud, MuleSoft, commerce, point-of-sale, Snowflake, or another connected system.
• Lead the technical response when an integration failure affects customer service, loyalty, marketing, or core customer data; review logs, integration errors, failed automations, API activity, and data-processing results.
• Define monitoring, alerting, error-handling, and recovery standards, and coordinate with internal teams and outside partners until production issues are resolved.
• Participate in an appropriate production-support and escalation rotation.
• Maintain platform stability through break-fix work, integration changes, release reviews, security and API updates, and ongoing technical improvements, even when major new development is limited.

Hands-On Technical Delivery

• Configure and prototype Salesforce solutions and build or modify Flows, automations, data mappings, SQL queries, and integrations when needed.
• Review Apex, Lightning components, Marketing Cloud scripts, APIs, and vendor-delivered code and configurations.
• Create proofs of concept for complex or high-risk solutions and support testing, release planning, deployment, and post-production validation.
• Review technical designs before development begins, step directly into delivery or troubleshooting when senior technical support is needed, and keep technical documentation current.

Technical Leadership and Team Development

• Serve as the in-house Salesforce subject matter expert and provide day-to-day guidance to Salesforce administrators, developers, analysts, product owners, and technology partners.
