Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) –Technical Leader

Own end-to-end development delivery for a Salesforce B2C Commerce platform, leading an SFCC engineering pod across sprint commitments, urgent enhancements, production issues, releases, and operational handover. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a pure people-management position. Partner with the Customer Engineering Manager, Product Owner, QA Lead, integrations teams, and SRE to deliver reliable commerce capabilities while guiding legacy SFCC maintenance and future storefront modernization.

Required experience and technical capabilities

• Experience and leadership: 10+ years of overall software engineering experience, including 6+ years working with SFCC and at least 2 years leading an engineering team or delivery pod.
• SFCC architecture and delivery: Deep hands-on Salesforce B2C Commerce experience, including SFRA, cartridges, controllers, models, ISML, hooks, jobs, service framework, Business Manager, and production upgrades or migrations.
• Legacy platform expertise: Ability to assess, troubleshoot, and maintain pipeline-based applications and existing custom/partner extension frameworks built on SFRA, including shared widget and customization layers.
• Frontend fundamentals: Strong JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and CSS/SASS expertise for storefront engineering and troubleshooting.
• Integration ownership: Strong experience with REST/JSON, SFCC jobs/feeds, OCAPI/SCAPI, integrations, and cross-system troubleshooting for pricing, inventory, promotions, checkout, loyalty, and order flows.
• Engineering operations: Demonstrated ownership of sprint delivery, technical design reviews, Git/GitLab development workflows, CI/CD, release coordination, and high-priority production issue resolution.
• Communication and judgment: Strong retail eCommerce understanding, stakeholder communication, technical decision-making, mentoring, capacity planning, and calm escalation management.

Preferred skills

• Modern storefront development: Hands-on ReactJS and TypeScript; exposure to Node.js or Next.js, Storefront Next/PWA Kit, and headless or composable commerce.
• SFCC partner framework: Experience with the Astound framework or comparable SFCC partner-built extension frameworks.
• Content and integrations: Experience with Mustache templates, Contentful or comparable headless CMS, and integrations with payments, tax, OMS, and loyalty platforms.
• Supporting tools: Practical familiarity with Postman, Datadog, BrowserStack, Playwright/TypeScript automation, JMeter performance testing, and TestRail test management.
• Engineering productivity: Experience with GitHub Copilot or equivalent AI-assisted developer tooling and prompt engineering.
• Credentials: Salesforce B2C Commerce Developer certification; Architect certification is an added advantage.
