What this job asks for AI summary
A senior individual-contributor role focused on owning the Salesforce-based certification platform — both the external Experience Cloud portal used by merchants and advertisers and the internal Salesforce data model, automation, and tooling beneath it. The work centers on inheriting an in-flight platform, remediating existing technical debt, establishing sound engineering governance, and shaping the technical roadmap in collaboration with certification strategy and operations stakeholders. Suits a deeply experienced Salesforce engineer comfortable with end-to-end architectural ownership and influencing direction without managing a team.

Why we read it this way (9)
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is deeply Salesforce-platform-centric (configuration, Apex, LWC, Experience Cloud) and sits closer to Software Developers (15-1252) than to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211), but the heavy declarative/configuration ownership and stakeholder-facing product-shaping work introduce genuine ambiguity.
The 'Staff' title is used explicitly in the posting and is reinforced by the JD's own framing ('The level reflects the ownership and judgment the role carries, not the size of a team you manage'), confirming this is a senior IC/tech-lead band rather than a people-management role.
Gearset and Copado are listed as named alternatives for metadata deployment tooling ('such as Gearset, Copado, or equivalent'); they are treated as interchangeable options for the same hard-gated requirement.
REST and SOAP are listed together as a single integration-design requirement; REST is the primary name with SOAP as the alternative.
Aura and Lightning Web Runtime appear only in the context of a modernization evaluation ('evaluating the Aura-based certification portal against Lightning Web Runtime') and in a 'familiarity with' framing under What You'll Bring — treated as preferred rather than hard gates.
Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer I/II, Experience Cloud Consultant, Application/System Architect) are explicitly called 'a plus rather than a requirement' and are not emitted as skills.
Degree requirement is None: the JD states 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience', which accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
