Salesforce Developer

About the Role

The Velocity business unit is a fast‑moving, start‑up‑like organization within the greater PTC ecosystem. We support the Onshape and Arena businesses and are building a modern, scalable enterprise back‑office centered on Salesforce and cloud‑based technologies.

We are hiring a Salesforce Developer who is hands‑on with Salesforce development and eager to grow as an engineer. This role is not a Salesforce Administrator position. The successful candidate will be actively writing code, building Lightning components, developing Flows, and supporting integrations under the guidance of senior Salesforce engineers and architects.

This is a hybrid role based in Boston, MA, and regular in‑office presence is required to support collaboration, mentorship, and team engagement.

• Collaborate with Business Analysts and stakeholders across Sales, Customer Success, and Customer Operations to refine requirements, and design, develop, test, and release new features.
• Develop and enhance Salesforce functionality using Apex, Salesforce Flow, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and SOQL.
• Actively contribute production code under the guidance of senior developers and architects.
• Build and modify Lightning Web Components (LWC) using Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS).
• Implement Flow‑first automation (record‑triggered, screen, and auto‑launched flows).
• Assist with Salesforce integrations using REST APIs, JSON, and Salesforce‑native integration tools.
• Debug and resolve issues related to Apex code, Flows, LWCs, and data integrity.
• Participate in code reviews, following established development standards and best practices.
• Contribute code through Git‑based source control and support deployments using CI/CD pipelines.
• Support testing efforts including unit tests, regression testing, and UAT preparation.
• Provide technical support and “how‑to” assistance related to developed features and enhancements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 1–3 years of hands‑on Salesforce development experience.
• Demonstrated experience writing:
  • Apex or other programming languages.
  • SOQL queries.
  • Lightning Web Components (LWC).
  • Experience building Salesforce Flows (preferred over Workflow Rules / Process Builder).
• Solid understanding of Salesforce data model and security fundamentals, including profiles, permission sets, and basic sharing concepts.
• Experience working in sandbox environments and supporting deployments to higher environments.
• Familiarity with Git‑based source control and collaborative development workflows.

• Exposure to Salesforce DX (SFDX) and source‑driven development.
• Experience with Salesforce CI/CD tools (Git Hub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, or similar).
• Basic understanding of Salesforce integration patterns and Named Credentials.
• Exposure to Salesforce CPQ, Revenue Cloud, or sales operations systems.
• Familiarity with Jira or similar agile project management tools.
• Familiarity with integration authentication methods, such as Named Credentials, is a plus.

• Comfortable engaging with business and non‑technical stakeholders to understand requirements and use cases, with support from Business Analysts.
• Strong interest in software development, not just platform configuration.
• Willingness to learn enterprise‑scale Salesforce architecture and best practices.
• Strong collaboration skills and comfort working in a hybrid, team‑oriented environment.
• Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future employer‑sponsored visa support (including H‑1B).
