• Automation: Architect declarative solutions using Salesforce Flows, Approval Processes, and Validation Rules.
• Quality Assurance: Conduct code reviews and lead knowledge-sharing sessions, such as "Brownbag" sessions on Salesforce QCP debugging.

• DevOps: Oversee version control and deployments using tools like Gearset, Git, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.

Qualifications

• Experience: At least 4+ years of hands‑on experience in Salesforce development.
• Core Certifications: Must hold at least 4 Salesforce certifications, including Salesforce Certified Administrator and Salesforce Certified Platform Developer 1.

• Specialized Experience: Prior professional background in technical engineering (e.g., Instrument Engineer) before transitioning to Salesforce development.
• Leadership: Experience acting as a primary technical point of contact and mentor for specialized teams like Pricing and Approvals.

Skills

• Salesforce Clouds: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ/Revenue Cloud, Financial Services Cloud, and Experience Cloud.
• Programming Languages: Apex (Triggers, Batch, Asynchronous), JavaScript, and basic AngularJS.
• Web Technologies: LWC, Aura, Visualforce, and Salesforce QCP.
• Declarative Tools: Flows, Process Builder, Workflow Rules, and Approval Processes.
• Technical Tools: VS Code, Apex Replay Debugger, Workbench, Salesforce Data Loader, Salesforce Inspector, Postman, and Jira.
