Salesforce Tech Lead

Role Overview

As a tech lead at Zühlke, you will join an agile, cross-functional delivery team responsible for designing, building, and maintaining Salesforce-based digital solutions for enterprise clients.

What You Will Do

You will act as both technical owner and engineering leader, responsible for design, development, integration, and quality assurance across a multi-cloud Salesforce environment. You will collaborate closely with client stakeholders to understand business objectives, translate them into secure, maintainable designs, and deliver solutions aligned with regulations, interoperability requirements, and standards.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will balance architectural clarity with pragmatic engineering to ensure that the team is productive, aligned, and continuously improving.
