  • Digital banking platforms
  • Data warehouses / Snowflake environments
  • Middleware (Informatica, API gateways)

  • Ensure Salesforce configurations align with banking regulatory requirements.
  • Implement field-level security, encryption, data masking, and role-based access controls.
  • Partner with risk and audit teams for internal/external audits.
  • Support business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
Platform Governance & DevOps:
  • Define CI/CD pipelines
  • Implement environment management and release controls.
  • Lead code reviews and architecture review boards.
  • Establish guardrails for declarative vs. programmatic solutions.
Stakeholder Engagement:
  • Translate business capabilities into technical blueprints.
  • Provide executive-level architecture updates.
  • Mentor Salesforce developers, admins, and technical leaders.
  • Serve as subject matter expert for Salesforce within the bank’s enterprise architecture framework.

           Cloud.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
