Team

The Corporate Systems team is responsible for supporting platforms used by Morningstar employees worldwide. We provide support for platforms used by Marketing, Sales, Client Service, Finance and Product teams and enhance processes and systems for operational efficiencies. The Corporate Salesforce org has about 2000 users, and utilizes Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ, Experience Cloud, Revenue Cloud, Agentforce, and custom code.

The Senior Developer’s primary role is to lead the technical development work in the Morningstar Corporate Salesforce environment, mentor and lead junior developers, write and review Apex code, and develop technical solutions in the org. You will work closely with the Salesforce product owner, program manager, architect, and other developers to build robust solutions on the platform. The Senior Developer is expected to design end‑state solutions and assess implementation feasibilities for feature requests and initiatives.
