Accounting Associate

Business Systems Engineer

The Business Systems Engineer supports the Foundation's data ecosystem by designing and building the Salesforce data structures, automations, and platform configurations that bring newly created data into existence within the organization's CRM environment. Reporting to the Director of Enterprise Architecture, this role is responsible for creating custom objects, fields, Custom Metadata Types (MDT), and Flow architectures that house data driven by business intelligence requirements – as distinct from adjusting or building processes around data entered by end users. The Business Systems Engineer also supports NetSuite workflow automation as the Foundation transitions to its new enterprise accounting platform and provides Salesforce backup coverage to the software engineering team as needed. This role follows development standards established by the Director of Enterprise Architecture and collaborates closely across both the data and software engineering functions of Technology Services.
