## Description

Build your career where technical depth meets delivery ownership. We are a remote-first, global team of Salesforce and Amazon experts offering comprehensive benefits, equity in a high-growth company, and the autonomy to grow your career on your own terms.
As a Technical Lead, you are the hands-on technical backbone of Thunder's delivery teams. You blend deep coding expertise in Apex, LWC, and Salesforce integrations with the ability to manage and mentor a development team, translate architectural designs into working solutions, and keep complex builds on track. You'll work closely with Solution and Technical Architects - turning their designs into detailed technical execution - while also being the person your team and your client trust to solve the hardest day-to-day technical problems. You're a builder, a team lead, and a quality gatekeeper, ensuring every sprint ships clean, well-architected code on schedule.
Responsibilities:

 * Translate Technical Design Documents (TDDs) and solution designs from Architects into detailed low-level design, user stories, and development tasks.
 * Write high-quality Apex, LWC, and integration code, and review team code to enforce standards, performance, and scalability best practices.
 * Manage and mentor on- and offshore development resources - allocating work, unblocking issues, and driving day-to-day technical execution across the team.
 * Refine user stories with the Architect and Product/Delivery leads to flag technical feasibility risks (security, visibility, scalability, extensibility, performance) before development begins.
 * Execute assigned portions of data migration plans (mapping, transformation, load validation) as defined by the Data Architect, and flag data quality or design issues early.
 * Participate in client design sessions and workshops as the technical feasibility voice - validating what's buildable, estimating effort, and surfacing risks to the Architect and Delivery Lead.
 * Own environment and release management execution: branching strategy, deployment pipelines, and release calendars (Git/Copado), following standards set by the Architect/DevOps function.
 * Actively triage bugs, track technical milestones, and serve as the team's escalation point for technical blockers - escalating design-level issues to the Architect when they exceed Lead-level scope.
