The posting

COMPANY OVERVIEW

We exist to make food the world loves. But we do more than that. Our company is a place that prioritizes being a force for good, a place to expand learning, explore new perspectives and reimagine new possibilities, every day. We look for people who want to bring their best — bold thinkers with big hearts who challenge one another and grow together. Because becoming the undisputed leader in food means surrounding ourselves with people who are hungry for what’s next.​

About the Role

General Mills is seeking a Lead Salesforce Engineer to help lead hands-on engineering and technical direction for its Salesforce Core Platform. You’ll work across a matrixed delivery model: partnering with agile product teams to deliver business initiatives while helping the central Salesforce team strengthen platform-wide capabilities, standards, and architecture. You’ll collaborate with Enterprise Architecture, Cyber Security, product teams, and external partners, translating platform strategy into practical solutions that meet business needs and mitigate risk. You’ll also mentor engineers and help evaluate emerging platform capabilities, including AI and automation opportunities.

What You'll Do

  • Help shape and implement Salesforce Core CRM strategy, roadmap, and target-state architecture in partnership with Enterprise Architecture and other technical leads.
  • Design, configure, build, test, deploy, and document Salesforce solutions using declarative tools and custom development, including Apex, Lightning Web Components, Aura, Flow, and Visualforce.
  • Partner with agile product teams to assess business use cases, offer solution options, guide technical decisions, and uphold platform standards.
  • Collaborate with developers, analysts, data engineers, and product managers to shape backlogs, plan features, estimate work, and deliver initiatives.
  • Evaluate Salesforce technologies and features, and identify opportunities for AI, automation, and other platform capabilities; lead pilots and proofs of concept where appropriate.
  • Conduct platform health and security assessments, perform code reviews, and help close gaps through documented standards and best practices.
  • Create and maintain technical artifacts such as data flows, system diagrams, and future-state architectures.
  • Contribute to agile ceremonies, project planning, backlog refinement, risk management, and continuous improvement in team practices.
  • Mentor engineers and product-team peers through hands-on coaching, design feedback, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
  • Partner across internal teams and external vendors, support capability and capacity planning, and participate in the support rotation.
  • Continue building technical and communication skills, share ideas with team leadership, and support additional team needs as they arise.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience working on complex IT projects.
  • 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce Core Cloud configuration, such as flows, permission sets, profiles, and other declarative functionality, and customization, such as Apex classes and triggers, Lightning Web Components, Aura, Flow, and Visualforce.
  • Successful experience delivering Salesforce APIs and custom integrations with Salesforce CRM products and other solutions, including cloud platforms or third-party AppExchange products.
  • Deep technical knowledge of Salesforce products, including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Consumer Goods Cloud.
  • Knowledge of designing, developing, and managing Salesforce orgs and integrations across Salesforce CRM products, AppExchange products, and other platforms.
  • Experience with Salesforce deployment tools such as Gearset or Copado.
  • Ability to work effectively with cross-functional and global teams.
  • Ability to learn quickly, research and implement processes or technologies, and organize work across multiple deliverables and strategic initiatives with minimal oversight.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, time-management, written, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical choices and tradeoffs clearly to peers and cross-functional partners.
  • Experience with agile methods and familiarity with design and diagramming tools such as Lucidchart or Visio.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Salesforce certifications such as Administrator, Architect, Consultant, or Developer.
  • Previous experience as a Salesforce Administrator or Analyst.
  • Experience with platform observability, MuleSoft integrations, DevOps, CI/CD, or Cyber Security.
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms and solutions such as Google Cloud Platform.
  • Database experience, including SQL and relational database concepts and models; experience with dimensional modeling, ETL, and structured or unstructured data.
  • Familiarity with technologies such as Own Backup & Archiving, GitHub Actions, Kafka, HashiCorp Vault, or Tableau.
  • Understanding of the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, indirect selling through a third-party distributor (B2B), or retail point-of-sale data such as Nielsen.
  • Experience with modern software engineering principles.
