Salesforce Development Tech Lead

Position Summary:
Deltek is looking for a Salesforce Development Tech Lead to lead and grow our Bangalore-based Salesforce engineering team. In this role you will manage a team of approximately six to eight Salesforce Engineers - a mix of Administrators and Developers - while remaining hands-on in building out Salesforce features. You will drive the efficiency and effectiveness of the team, ensure best practices, and follow Salesforces guiding principles, all while collaborating closely with a USA-based team and supporting USA-based customers.
This role is based in the greater Bangalore area and may be performed Remote or Hybrid, with occasional visits to the Deltek Bangalore offices. To support close collaboration with U.S. teams and customers, this role works Eastern Time (ET) zone hours.
Delteks Salesforce instance has a Sales Cloud focus. Deltek is an AI-forward organization, and this role is expected to leverage AI where appropriate to improve delivery velocity, quality, and the overall developer and end-user experience.
The ideal candidate is familiar with all phases of the Salesforce SDLC - designing, coding, testing, and consistently managing applications to establish reliable engineering productivity - and has a declarative-first mindset, reaching for custom code only when configuration cannot meet the requirement.
Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of approximately six Salesforce Engineers (Administrators and Developers), fostering a culture of ownership, career growth, and continuous improvement.
• Act as direct manager in a matrixed in-house / consultant / onshore / offshore framework, coordinating with a USA-based team and supporting USA-based customers.
• Remain hands-on building out Salesforce features across configuration and code: Apex classes and triggers, Flows, SOQL/SOSL, and Lightning Web Components (LWC).
• Serve as gatekeeper for declarative-first solutioning, drawing a clear line between declarative configuration and programmatic code in line with Salesforces guiding principles; refactor to declarative solutions such as Flows where appropriate.
• Own and continuously improve the SDLC, leveraging a third-party Salesforce-focused DevOps tool (Gearset or Copado) and code repositories such as GitHub for source control, CI/CD, release management, and multi-environment (sandbox/production) strategy.
• Build integrations between Salesforce and external applications using REST/SOAP APIs, Bulk and Streaming APIs, Outbound Messaging, OAuth, and SSO; work with integration and ETL tooling such as Workato to move data between Salesforce and connected systems.
• Adhere to and enforce code standards and Apex design patterns; lead code reviews, mentoring, and policy governance to keep solutions well-structured, maintainable, and scalable.
• Understand Salesforce platform capabilities, governor limits, and limit-informed development best practices.
• Provide high availability for error resolution and technical support at Tier 2 and Tier 3 levels; serve as an escalation point and drive issues to closure.
• Assist with release process and coordination; support documentation of configurations and releases in knowledge repositories.
• Participate in daily Scrum and Agile ceremonies as an active team member; encourage addressing technical debt and contribute to strategic technology planning.
• Leverage AI where appropriate to accelerate development, testing, and support, consistent with Delteks AI-forward approach.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand pain points and deliver impactful, scalable solutions. ","
