We're looking for the most versatile technologist on our team, and someone who makes everyone around them better. You'll be our go-to expert on Salesforce and a coach and mentor to our consultants and developers. You know the declarative platform inside and out, and you can write code when configuration isn't enough. You also have the range to work across everything else our clients depend on, comfortably designing a data pipeline, wiring up an integration, or figuring out where AI fits (responsibly) in a client's systems.You'll take a leading role on our enterprise architecture work: looking at all of a client's systems, deciding what belongs where, and designing solutions that will still work well in five years. When a problem doesn't have an obvious answer, you're who the team turns to. In a typical week, you might map out how a client's donation platform, email tool, and finance system should connect, build a complex Flow, prototype an AI workflow on top of their donor data, and help a teammate debug a SQL query. Our clients use these systems to raise money and get resources to communities, so getting systems and processes right matters to the people they serve.You're curious and pragmatic. You like untangling messy systems and finding the simplest design that works, ideally one the client's own team can run long after we've left. And when a client asks for something that won't serve them, you'll say so, kindly and clearly.This Job Isn't for You IfYou'd rather go deep in one specialty than move between configuration, code, integrations, and architecture in the same week.You want to spend your career exclusively in Salesforce.



Most of our work starts there, but it rarely ends there.You see questions from teammates as interruptions rather than part of the job.You want someone else to make the big design decisions while you build them.You'd pick a clever solution over a simple one a client can maintain.You're looking for a large company with layers of process, dedicated QA teams, and one long-running project.The mission doesn't matter much to you, as long as the tech is compelling.About Purple OtterPurple Otter is a boutique Salesforce and modern data stack consultancy serving enterprise nonprofits, foundations, and grantmakers.
