Staff Salesforce Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA

About The Role

We are looking for a Staff Salesforce Engineer for the Product & Technology (P&T) team at The RealReal. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for an engineer who stays close to the code and can design for a complex, large-scale Salesforce org. You will raise engineering standards on the team, solve hard integration and platform problems, and help us treat Salesforce as a product: code-first development, automated testing, and reliable delivery.

You will help build the technical foundation for AI-driven automation (Agentforce and Data Cloud), complex system integrations, and platform observability. This is not a point-and-click admin role, and it is not the org-wide architecture seat. You will partner with our Principal Salesforce Engineer and engineering leadership, write critical-path Apex and Lightning Web Components, and set the bar for how the team builds.

What You Get To Do Every Day

Hands-on Development: Lead the configuration and development for Salesforce and our integrated tools to support complex logic. This includes staying hands-on with the codebase, developing applications using Apex Classes, Triggers, Lightning Web Components (LWC), VisualForce Pages, and Aura Components.

AI & Automation: Serve as a key driver for our AI roadmap, specifically focusing on implementing Agentforce, Voice Recognition, and Outreach Automation. You'll help us leverage AI to streamline the "Consignor + Store Buyer" relationship management lifecycle.

Architecture: Develop technical diagrams, integration standards, and better ways to manage our environments. You'll ensure every solution is built for scale, performance, and reliability from day one.

Code Quality: Own your code from start to finish. This means building for performance and scale, including bulk-safe patterns and robust automated tests.

Solution Design: Lead design discussions to make sure what we build fits with our global governance and enterprise standards. You will provide ongoing technical support for existing custom Apex code and configurations.

Mentoring: Advise other engineers on the team through code reviews and sharing best practices around readability, scalability, and test coverage.

Collaboration: Work with business stakeholders to give technical guidance on security and performance, turning their requirements into actual solutions.

What You Bring To The Role

Minimum Requirements

• Experience with integration tech, SSO, Master Data Management, and Agile methodologies.
• Bachelor’s in Computer Science or a similar field.
• Multiple Salesforce certifications are required, specifically Platform Developer II (PDII) and at least one Architect-track certification (e.g., Application Architect or System Architect).

Preferred Requirements

• Project Management certifications
• Experience with LeanData, Xactly, Genesys PureCloud, Jira, Zoom, and Sumo integrations.
• Knowledge of managing multiple Salesforce orgs and/or multiple teams that use Salesforce to solve a variety of requirements. Experienced working with complex Salesforce orgs with hundreds or thousands of users.
