Looking to the future, our ambition is to continuously reinvent ourselves, leveraging data to be at the forefront of analytics, technology and talent to accomplish our purpose in a better, faster and simpler way.

Overview

The person in this role is a senior individual contributor who safeguards the quality and consistency of solutions delivered across Bunge's multi-Org Salesforce platform. Acting as a design- and code-governance gatekeeper, this individual reviews and approves technical designs and pull requests and provides Americas-hours technical support governance. Positioned in São Paulo to provide time-zone coverage across the Americas, the role partners closely with the Sr Technical Architect, the DevOps/Release analyst, and the regional support team to ensure every change respects Bunge's development guidelines, security model, and platform standards.

Essential Functions: Main Accountabilities

• Perform impact assessments for new enhancements, integrations, data-model changes, automation, and security modifications across the Salesforce platform.
• Collaborate with developers, architects, and administrators to design maintainable solutions aligned with Salesforce best practices and Bunge standards.
• Support testing activities including test planning, test-case validation, UAT coordination, defect analysis, and deployment-readiness assessments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve Salesforce platform issues related to configuration, integrations, security, data quality, and performance.
• Maintain and review technical solution documentation, architecture decisions, integration specifications, and governance standards.
• Provide production support and continuous-improvement recommendations to enhance platform adoption, user experience, operational efficiency, and business value
• Review and approve Solution Design Documents (SDDs) and pull requests before development begins, enforcing the global template, component reuse, governor-limit awareness, and Bunge development guidelines (e.g., “without sharing” usage, user-mode queries, approved trigger framework).
• Act as a technical gatekeeper for changes that touch core objects, the data model, sharing, or automation — ensuring solutions remain consistent with the applicable Org / template and do not introduce divergence or technical debt.
• Uphold platform consistency through cross-review of designs and code across both business-line Orgs, escalating structurally significant or cross-Org changes to the Global Technical Architect
• Provide Americas-hours support governance — partnering with the support owner to review incident fixes and minor enhancements (PR / code review) before they are built and deployed, ensuring time-zone continuity for the global team.
• Act as backup to the Sr Technical Architect on security and platform-health activities — including Health Check, Shield / Event Monitoring reviews, API / data / governor-limit monitoring, and technical-debt and data-hygiene tracking.
• Support enforcement of standards on partner / MSP-delivered work, ensuring external-partner changes meet the Definition of Done and pass the applicable quality gates before release.
• Act as a subject-matter expert in Salesforce solution and governance practices, providing guidance and mentoring to analysts, administrators, and partner teams.
• Accountable for the technical quality and standards-conformance of solutions delivered across multiple, moderately-to-highly complex Salesforce Orgs and projects.
• Provides input on solution approach, resource planning, and standards / policy development within the technical solutions domain.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Design / code-review coverage and turnaround for governed changes (SDDs and pull requests).
• Reduction in post-deployment defects and standards / template deviations attributable to reviewed work.
• Timeliness and quality of Americas-hours support governance and issue resolution.
• Platform-health and technical-debt indicators for the areas under governance.
• Determining whether a proposed change respects the applicable template and standards, or requires redesign or escalation.
• Making design-consistency decisions across two business-line Orgs where precedents may differ or not yet exist.
• Identifying opportunities to reduce technical debt and advance convergence across the multi-Org estate.
• Operates as a senior individual contributor with limited oversight, owning governance for assigned domains and Orgs.
• Leads and participates with comparable influence in large projects and initiatives related to solution delivery and governance.
• Provides guidance and mentoring to analysts, administrators, and partner / support staff on standards and best practices.
• Contributes to short-to-mid-term talent and knowledge-transfer plans within the technical solutions area.

Key Relationships, Stakeholders & Interfaces

Works closely with the Global Technical Architect and Sr Technical Architect, the DevOps / Release analyst, Salesforce developers, administrators, quality-assurance teams, business analysts, regional (functional) leads, external delivery partners (MSP), and IT leadership.

Knowledge and Technical Competencies

• Strong understanding of Salesforce platform configuration, security and sharing model, data model, workflow automation, Flow, reports, and dashboards.
• Hands-on development experience with Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), triggers, and asynchronous processing — sufficient to perform meaningful code review.
• Proven experience performing design reviews, code / pull-request reviews, and enforcing development guidelines and coding standards.
• Knowledge of Salesforce integration patterns and enterprise application interfaces.
• Familiarity with multi-Org environments and Org-consolidation / data-migration considerations (advantageous).
• Working knowledge of release management and CI/CD concepts (e.g., Copado, Salesforce DX, Git) sufficient to collaborate effectively with the DevOps / Release analyst — pipeline ownership is not required.
• Awareness of static code analysis (e.g., PMD) and Apex test-coverage standards as quality gates.
• Ability to perform root-cause analysis, impact assessments, testing coordination, and change-management activities.
• Relevant Salesforce certifications (e.g., Platform Developer I / II, Administrator, App Builder; Application / System Architect credentials advantageous).
• Proficiency in English; Portuguese and/or Spanish advantageous for regional stakeholder engagement.

Minimum Requirements

Education / Experience: 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (Master's may be preferred), with over 8 years of position-related functional experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Extensive hands-on Salesforce development and platform architecture experience, including technical governance, solution reviews, and platform standards enforcement.
