The Senior Salesforce Developer is a key member of our GTM (Go-To-Market) Systems team, responsible for internal applications across Sales, Marketing, Services, Customer Success, Finance, and Engineering. You'll own the full development lifecycle — from incident resolution and bug fixes to feature delivery — across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ, and related integrations.
You'll work closely with business analysts, architects, QA engineers, and administrators to ship high-quality, stable solutions. We're an AI-forward team: our engineers actively use AI tools to write, test, and review code, and we expect you to embrace them as part of your daily workflow. We're looking for someone genuinely curious and eager to grow. You pick things up fast, ask great questions, and aren't afraid to push back when something could be done better. You stay current with Salesforce releases, AI tooling, and developer toolchains — not because you have to, but because you want to.

- Participate in sprint ceremonies; contribute to story sizing, technical design, and pull request reviews.
- Conduct QA as necessary to validate releases and keep production stable.
- Mentor teammates on quality code and development standards; contribute to platform monitoring and proactive maintenance.

What You Have
- 7-8 years of software development experience, with at least 5 years hands-on with Apex, Salesforce APIs, configuration, and custom development.
- Deep, broad knowledge of the Salesforce platform: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ, Community Cloud.
- Proficiency in Lightning Web Components, Flows, and declarative configuration alongside code.
- Strong command of web technologies: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, XML, JSON, REST/SOAP web services.
