Salesforce Technical Lead

Hometap

3d•$150,000 - $165,000

About The Position

Here at Hometap, we’re collaborative, passionate, and always ready to roll up our sleeves to create solutions that help people get more out of homeownership — and out of life. Our first product, a home equity investment, gives homeowners the opportunity to quickly access the equity they’ve built in their home to pay for what’s most important to them, from handling debt to finally making much-needed renovations, without taking on debt. We work hard, and have some fun along the way, too. You don’t have to take our word for it: The Boston Globe and Forbes have recognized us as a great place to work, and we’ve been honored for our commitment to innovation in the fintech space by Inc., HousingWire, and more! In case you need any more convincing, we also provide competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, generous PTO, a meaningful equity package, and a strong culture with plenty of opportunities for team-building and camaraderie. Interested in joining us on our mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible? We’d love to talk. We're looking for an experienced Salesforce Technical Lead to own the technical direction of our Salesforce org. Salesforce is the system of record that powers Hometap's go-to-market, operations, and reporting, and you'll bring deep expertise in advanced configuration and administration, solution architecture, and technical leadership to a business-critical environment. You bring a strong point of view on how to translate business needs into scalable, maintainable Salesforce solutions, whether that involves the data model, integration strategy, or automation standards. You're equally comfortable going deep on technical execution and stepping back to set direction, and you take pride in raising the bar for the admins and developers around you. You’re excited to collaborate closely with engineering, product, and business leaders to keep our Salesforce ecosystem healthy, secure, and ready for what's next.
