This position will involve hands-on development on the Salesforce platform, including declarative configuration, custom Salesforce development, integrations, APIs, and secure enterprise delivery. The successful candidate will work closely with product owners, architects, and agile teams to deliver enterprise technology solutions primarily using Salesforce, while also contributing to custom web and integration technologies such as React, TypeScript, Python, and modern API frameworks when appropriate.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Develop, enhance, and support Salesforce applications using established engineering standards and architectural guidance.
Design and implement Salesforce solutions using declarative capabilities such as objects, fields, page layouts, validation rules, Flows, approval processes, security settings, and user access.
Evaluate business and technical requirements to determine appropriate implementation approaches, including Salesforce declarative capabilities, custom Salesforce development, integrations, and custom full-stack components when needed.
Develop user experiences on the Salesforce Lightning Platform using Lightning Web Components and other supported Salesforce technologies.
Enhance and maintain Salesforce products and solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, and platform configuration within capabilities such as Service Cloud and Experience Cloud.
Translate user stories, wireframes, and design specifications into high-quality, reusable Salesforce components and user experiences.
Develop and maintain integrations between Salesforce and enterprise APIs, databases, data services, and other business applications.
Integrate Salesforce and supporting applications with governed enterprise data platforms, relational databases, cloud services, and approved internal or external APIs.
Develop and contribute to appropriate unit, integration, API, UI, accessibility, security, and data-validation testing as part of the software development lifecycle.
Create rapid prototypes and proofs of concept using Salesforce and, where appropriate, custom web technologies to validate technical approaches and translate approved concepts into production-ready solutions.
Use source control, code reviews, CI/CD, Salesforce deployment tooling, monitoring, rollback, and incident-management practices to support reliable application delivery.
Write clean, reusable, well-documented, secure, and testable Apex, Lightning Web Components, JavaScript/TypeScript, and integration code.
Experience with application security concepts, including authentication, authorization, Salesforce access controls, profiles/permission sets, and sharing models
Strong problem solving and analytical skills; ability to learn quickly; excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Experience working within Agile or Scrum delivery methodologies
Ability to create clear technical documentation, including designs, diagrams, configuration instructions, and operational support procedures
Ability to communicate effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders and collaborate across global, virtual, and cross-functional teams
Participate in code and configuration reviews and incorporate feedback to improve quality, performance, accessibility, security, and maintainability.
Monitor and troubleshoot production applications across Salesforce, APIs, data integrations, databases, cloud, and AI-enabled components; support defect resolution and root-cause analysis.
Create and maintain technical documentation, including solution designs, data models, integration/API documentation, deployment procedures, configuration documentation, and runbooks.
Contribute reusable Salesforce components, engineering standards, and continuous improvements that strengthen the broader Commercialization Technology ecosystem.
Work closely with product owners, business stakeholders, UX/design teams, data engineers, QA engineers, and other technology teams.
Follow Agile practices, contribute to sprint planning and effort estimation, and provide timely status updates.
Continuously build knowledge of Salesforce platform capabilities, full-stack technologies, cloud, AI, integration, and DevOps practices.
