As a Senior Staff Software Engineer (Salesforce) within the innovative Product & Technology team at Telstra, you'll play a pivotal role in developing and refining the software behind our products and platforms; primarily those that support our internal teams, but occasionally extending beyond Telstra. Your hands‑on expertise and strong understanding of Salesforce architecture and development best practices, along with your technical leadership, will help set the standard for how we build and enhance our systems, driving continuous improvement and innovation.

While you won't be coding every day, you'll still step in when required and be a key figure in reviewing your team's contributions, to ensure our solutions are reliable, practical, and built for longevity. You are passionate about learning and leading by example, fostering growth in others and making a tangible difference to the tools and technologies we depend on.

Your advanced technical skills, experience in overseeing the software development lifecycle, commitment to ongoing learning, and dedication to team leadership are all essential for success in this position.

What you'll do

• Champion engineering quality and outcomes across several platforms or microservice groups, influencing architecture and overall system effectiveness.
• Lead practical initiatives, from proof of concept through to design reviews and urgent operational issues, promoting innovative solutions.
• Quickly adapt to a variety of technologies - whether legacy, SaaS, or emerging fields like GenAI - introducing contemporary engineering practices to different environments.
• Facilitate cross‑team decisions using solid engineering principles, balancing technical priorities with delivery timelines.
• Work alongside product owners to help shape and prioritise technical roadmaps, aligning senior stakeholders around important trade‑offs.
• Provide expert guidance in architecture and solution design, tackling complex challenges in areas like performance, security, and business impact.
• Drive the organisation's testing strategy, using metrics to spot areas for improvement, customising frameworks for large multi‑team projects, and extending Telstra's testing capabilities.
• Ensure production‑ready code that robustly handles errors and edge cases, systematically debugging across related systems.
