- Champion an AI-first development/DevOps workflow using advanced AI developer assistants (e.g., Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate Salesforce development, CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and deployment processes while maintaining platform security, performance, governance, and Salesforce best practices.
- Practical fluency with AI coding assistants and modern development/DevOps ecosystems to maximize productivity, automate workflows, document implementations, and deliver secure, scalable, high-quality solutions.
- Travel to client sites as needed (estimated 50-75%, Architect level).
