Forward Deployed Engineer — Salesforce

About the role

About The Role

Drive Salesforce solutions efficiently.

SuccessMetrics is reshaping how enterprise software services are delivered. We use an AI-engineered delivery approach to accelerate requirements, solution design, development, testing, documentation, and deployment—allowing small, highly capable teams to deliver outcomes that traditionally require much larger teams and longer timelines.

This is not a ticket-queue role. You will work directly with customers, understand the business problem, design the solution, use AI and automation aggressively, build where necessary, and take responsibility for getting the solution into production. You own the outcome.

What You'll Own

Turn ambiguous inputs—RFPs, discovery notes, spreadsheets, legacy systems, and undocumented processes—into working Salesforce solutions.

Design standard-platform-first solutions, using custom code only where it creates meaningful value.

Configure and build with Flow, Apex, LWC, Experience Cloud, APIs, integrations, and data migration tools.

Use AI throughout delivery for requirements, design, coding, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and automation.

Identify technical constraints, dependencies, and stakeholder risks before they become project problems.

Present and defend designs with CIOs, architects, security teams, procurement, and engineers.

Leave customers able to confidently operate and extend what we deliver.

Turn lessons from each engagement into reusable accelerators, tooling, and improvements to our delivery model.

What We're Looking For

Salesforce Engineering. Strong hands-on knowledge of data modeling, security and sharing, Flow, Apex, LWC, Experience Cloud, APIs, integrations, data migration, and deployment.

AI-Native Engineering. Proficiency with agentic coding, prompt/context engineering, AI-assisted requirements and design, automated testing, and building your own automations. If you do the same manual task twice, your instinct should be to automate it.

Data & Integration. SQL, REST/SOAP APIs, ETL, authentication patterns, event-driven architectures, migration strategy, reconciliation, and production troubleshooting.

Customer Leadership. Able to lead discovery, explain architecture to executives, work through security reviews, debug with engineers, challenge requirements constructively, and communicate status and risk proactively.

Experience

Mid-Level (typically 5–8 years): Delivered real Salesforce implementations end-to-end and ready to own major workstreams and customer relationships.

Senior / Lead (typically 10–15 years): Able to own technical direction, make architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and become the technical leader the customer trusts.

Years are guidelines—capability, judgment, and demonstrated ownership matter more than tenure.

Especially Valuable

Public Sector Solutions; Licensing, Permitting & Inspections; Service Cloud; Experience Cloud; OmniStudio; Field Service; or Agentforce.

Enterprise integrations and complex data migrations.

Salesforce Application/System Architect credentials, Platform Developer II, or comparable depth.

Consulting, forward-deployed engineering, or other customer-facing delivery experience.

Reusable internal tooling, accelerators, frameworks, or open-source contributions.

How We Work

We believe the next generation of consulting teams will look different: smaller teams, stronger engineers, AI-native delivery, more automation, faster feedback, and clearer ownership. You'll have significant autonomy, direct customer exposure, and the opportunity to influence not only what we deliver, but how SuccessMetrics delivers in the future.

Logistics & How to Apply

Location: Remote within the United States.

Employment: Full-time.
