Senior Salesforce Architect

About Propela Tech

Propela Tech is a healthcare-focused advisory and technology firm that helps organizations streamline operations, unlock their data, and scale more efficiently through custom-built tools. We’re a team of technologists, former healthcare operators, and strategic thinkers who understand the real-world complexity of running healthcare businesses—and we build solutions that actually work.

What Matters Most

• Frame the right problem with clients; translate ambiguity into crisp requirements and success


• metrics.


• Design first, then build: choose the simplest architecture that meets the need with clear trade-


• offs.


• Own outcomes end-to-end: architecture → build → launch → operate.


• Communicate clearly: explain options in plain English and make decisions fast.

What We’re Looking For

This role reports directly to our Chief Technology Officer, Chris Reynolds.

We’re looking for a Senior Salesforce Architect who is a problem-solver first and a coder second. This role combines deep Salesforce platform expertise with AI-augmented development practices—you’ll use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and other agentic AI systems to deliver production-ready solutions 2–3x faster than traditional workflows, while maintaining the judgment and architectural thinking that makes great developers irreplaceable.

You won’t just use AI autocomplete. You’ll orchestrate AI agents to consistently ship high-quality code, translate ambiguous client requirements into structured technical designs, and own features end-to-end across multiple consulting engagements, primarily in healthcare and regulated industries.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead AI-augmented Salesforce development to deliver secure, scalable solutions across Apex


• (triggers, batch, queueable), LWC, custom data models, and complex REST/SOAP integrations


• Translate ambiguous client requirements into clear technical designs; present solution options


• with defined trade-offs across cost, scalability, timeline, and maintainability•
  Own features end-to-end—from discovery and architecture through development, deployment,


• and post-launch optimization


• Establish CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows; enforce testing standards, security best


• practices, and high unit test coverage with meaningful validation logic


• Proactively identify technical risks, performance bottlenecks, and architectural debt; implement


• solutions that improve reliability and long-term platform health


• Push back constructively when requirements are unclear; tie technical decisions directly to


• business outcomes

Technical Requirements

Salesforce Platform

• Expert-level Apex: triggers, batch classes, queueable/schedulable jobs, test classes


• Strong Lightning Web Components (LWC) and/or Aura experience


• Deep understanding of data model design, governor limits, and platform best practices


• Integration experience: REST/SOAP APIs, middleware platforms, event-driven architecture


• SOQL/SOSL optimization and large data volume handling

• VS Code with Salesforce Extensions, Developer Console, Workbench


• Data migration tools and strategies: Data Loader, external ETL tools


• Strong debugging and troubleshooting across the Salesforce platform

AI-Assisted Development

You must demonstrate practical, production-level experience using AI development tools, not just

autocomplete. Specifically:

• Prompt Engineering: Craft detailed, context-rich prompts that produce correct, maintainable


• code. Structure requirements so AI tools can parse them effectively. Iterate when initial outputs


• miss the mark.


• Tool Orchestration: Break complex features into AI-friendly tasks. Know when AI output needs


• human review vs. when it can be trusted. Leverage AI for boilerplate, tests, documentation, and


• refactoring.


• Quality Assurance: Evaluate AI-generated code for security vulnerabilities, performance issues,


• and governor limit compliance. Ensure AI-produced tests achieve meaningful coverage.


• Recognize hallucinations quickly.


• Requirement Translation: Convert vague business requirements into structured specs that both humans and AI can work from. Build reusable prompt templates and context libraries that improve output consistency over time.

Healthcare / Regulated Industry (Preferred)

• Healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR)


• HIPAA compliance and PHI handling


• Insurance verification, claims processing, or patient management systems


• Health Cloud, OmniStudio, or healthcare-specific Salesforce products
