• Partner with business stakeholders and senior engineers to gather requirements, shape technical specifications, and break work into deliverable milestones.
• Contribute to end‑to‑end delivery of Salesforce projects – scoping, design, development, testing, deployment, and documentation – with guidance from technical leadership on larger initiatives.
• Build and maintain integrations between Salesforce and adjacent systems such as , marketing automation platforms, subscription management, event platforms, and financial systems.
• Implement and evolve Salesforce development best practices, including source control workflows in Git Hub, branching strategy, pull request reviews, CI/CD, sandbox management, and release processes.
• Write well‑tested, maintainable code with Apex test coverage and meaningful assertions; actively participate in code reviews to raise the bar for the team.
• Execute data migrations and support data quality and hygiene initiatives across CRM records.
• Act as a collaborative technical resource for Salesforce administrators and business stakeholders, explaining platform capabilities, trade‑offs, and limitations in plain language.
• Monitor platform performance, troubleshoot issues, and surface opportunities to improve system health, user experience, and adoption.

• Engineering Foundations: Strong grounding in computer science fundamentals, programming (Java, C#, Python, or JavaScript), and software design principles – demonstrated through a mix of general software engineering and Salesforce work. Candidates whose experience is limited to Salesforce configuration with no coding should not apply.
• Salesforce
  
  Experience:
  
  3–5 years of hands‑on Salesforce development including Apex, SOQL, Lightning Web Components, and declarative tools (Flow, Process Builder).
• Git Hub and Source Control: Proficiency with Git and Git Hub in a team setting – branching strategies (Git Flow or trunk‑based), pull requests, code review, merge conflict resolution, and integration with Salesforce deployment workflows.
• Salesforce Development Best Practices: Demonstrated experience implementing trigger frameworks, separation of concerns, bulkification, governor‑limit‑aware code, Apex test coverage with meaningful assertions, metadata‑driven configuration, and structured release management using SFDX, Dev Ops Center, Copado, Gearset, or similar.
• API Integration: Experience building and consuming REST/SOAP API integrations between Salesforce and third‑party platforms.
• Data Model Knowledge: Working knowledge of the Salesforce data model, sharing/security model, and governor limits, with judgment to decide when to code versus configure.

  Platform Developer II or in‑progress is a plus.
• Communication: Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to manage workload and prioritize across competing requests.

• Experience with Marketing Cloud (AMPscript, Journey Builder, or API integration) and other ESPs and CDP integrations into Sales Cloud.
