Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Salesforce Platform Engineer — a technically sharp, hands‑on resource who will work alongside the team to optimize our Salesforce environment end to end. The focus is on platform health, code quality, scalable architecture, and engineering best practices across whatever clouds and features the org uses today or adopts tomorrow. Exposure to AI‑driven capabilities within the Salesforce ecosystem is a valuable bonus.

Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~16,800 employees create world‑class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries.

Our award‑winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry‑first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.

Responsibilities

Platform Optimization & Org Health

• Hunt down technical debt — dead automations, bloated triggers, redundant fields, and queries that scan half the database for one record.
• Audit and rationalize automations into a single, sane framework.
• Monitor org health proactively—governor limits, storage, API consumption, deployment stability—using Salesforce Optimizer, Event Monitoring, and custom dashboards you build yourself.

Development & Code Quality

• Build production‑grade Apex—bulkified, governor‑limit‑aware, single‑trigger‑per‑object, with proper separation of concerns (service/selector/domain layers).
• Develop Lightning Web Components that are reusable and accessible.
• Hold the quality bar in code reviews—meaningful test assertions, no hardcoded IDs, clean error handling, sensible naming.
• Own and improve the CI/CD pipeline—scratch orgs, source‑driven development, automated test gates, and deployments that don’t need a war room.

Integration & Data Management

• Design and maintain integrations via REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture—with proper retry logic, error handling, and idempotency.
• Champion data quality—deduplication strategies, validation rules that actually help, and migration practices that don’t create a cleanup project of their own.
• Troubleshoot sync failures and API limit issues across connected systems before they become an escalation.

Collaboration & Best Practices Enablement

• Define and document development standards and best practices.
• Mentor junior developers through pairing, reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Evaluate every Salesforce release (three per year) for features worth adopting and deprecations worth addressing.
• Help the team make smart clicks‑vs‑code decisions so the org stays maintainable as it grows.

Qualifications

Core Technical Skills – Must Have

• Deep hands‑on skills in Apex, SOQL/SOSL, LWC, and enough Visualforce to maintain legacy components.
• Strong JavaScript/ES6+, HTML, and CSS fundamentals.
• Expertise in Salesforce’s security architecture—profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, FLS, OWDs, role hierarchy.
• Solid Git workflow habits—branching, pull requests, merge conflict resolution.
• Proficiency with Salesforce CLI, scratch orgs, metadata API, and at least one CI/CD tool.
• Sharp debugging instincts—Debug Logs, Query Plan tool, Limit monitoring.
• Familiarity with data migration/ETL tools.
• Comfortable in Agile/Scrum rhythms.

Good to have – AI Exposure

• Understanding of AI/ML fundamentals and data pipelines.
• Exposure to LLMs and related concepts.
• Familiarity with generative AI use cases in enterprise contexts.
• Experience with AI‑assisted development tools.
• Basic comfort with Python or similar for scripting AI/ML workflows.
• Awareness of responsible AI principles.

Other Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5–8 years of hands‑on Salesforce platform development—cloud‑agnostic, problem‑first.
• Active Salesforce certifications preferred.
• Clear communicator who can explain a complex technical trade‑off to a business stakeholder.
