• Experience testing Salesforce declarative configuration: validation rules, record types, page layouts, permissions.
• Familiarity with testing Salesforce Flows, including branching logic and bulk record behaviour.
• Understanding Apex from a tester's view: triggers, batch jobs, and async processing.
• Knowledge of Salesforce Sales Cloud objects and processes.
• Ability to write test cases, execute cycles, and manage defects in Jira/Azure DevOps.
• Capacity to read Apex test results and coverage.
• Experience in Agile or Scrum sprints and release cycles.
• Clear written English for defect reports.
• Willingness to earn Salesforce Administrator certification within 6 months.

Responsibilities

• Write, maintain, and execute test cases from user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing across Salesforce configs and integrations.
• Test declarative configuration like validation rules, page layouts, and sharing rules.
• Test Flows in depth: screen, record-triggered, scheduled flows and subflows.
• Validate Apex-backed functionality: triggers, batch jobs, and asynchronous processing.
• Review Apex test results and code coverage with developers.
• Own and improve the regression test suite to stay current with changes.
• Build and maintain test data using Data Loader or scripted setup.
• Log defects with steps, expected vs actual, and evidence; triage with BA.
• Prepare scripts and data for User Acceptance Testing and sign-off.
• Perform release readiness and smoke testing across sandboxes and production.
• Test each Salesforce release in a preview sandbox and report impacts.

Job description

Penn Engineering is seeking a Salesforce QA Tester responsible for manual functional and regression testing of Salesforce configurations, Flows, Apex, and integrations, with an opportunity to grow into test automation.

Key Responsibility:

• Write, maintain, and execute test cases and test scripts from user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional designs.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, negative, and end-to-end testing across Salesforce configuration, Flows, Apex-backed features, and integrated systems.
• Test declarative configuration thoroughly: validation rules, record types, page layouts, approval processes, sharing and visibility rules, permission sets, and profile-based access.
• Test Flows in depth — screen flows, record-triggered flows, scheduled flows and subflows — including entry criteria, decision branches, fault paths, and bulk behaviour.
• Validate Apex-backed functionality from the business side: triggers, batch and scheduled jobs, and asynchronous processing, including bulk and governor-limit scenarios.
• Review Apex test results and code coverage with developers, and flag gaps between unit test coverage and real business scenarios.
• Own and continuously improve the regression test suite; keep it current as the org changes and prune tests that no longer earn their keep.
• Build and maintain test data — using Data Loader, Data Import Wizard, or scripted setup — and keep sandboxes in a usable, refreshable state.
• Log clear, reproducible defects with steps, expected vs. actual results, environment, and evidence; triage severity with the BA and developers and verify fixes.
• Support User Acceptance Testing: prepare scripts and data for business users, run sessions, capture findings, and help drive sign-off.
• Perform release readiness and smoke testing across sandbox and production deployments, including post-deployment verification.
• Test each Salesforce seasonal release in a preview sandbox and report any impact to existing functionality.
• Contribute to test automation — building and maintaining automated regression scripts as we expand coverage.
• Track and report quality metrics: test execution progress, defect trends, coverage, and escaped defects.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• 2–3 years of QA or software testing experience, with at least 1–2 years testing on the Salesforce platform.
• Hands-on experience testing Salesforce declarative configuration — validation rules, record types, page layouts, approval processes, permission sets, and sharing rules.
• Demonstrated experience testing Salesforce Flows, including branching logic, fault handling, and bulk record behaviour.
• Practical understanding of Apex from a tester's perspective: what triggers, batch jobs, and asynchronous processing do, how governor limits surface as defects, and how to read Apex test results and coverage.
• Working knowledge of Salesforce Sales Cloud objects and processes — leads, accounts, opportunities, products and price books, quotes, and forecasting.
• Solid grasp of the Salesforce data model and the sharing and visibility model, and the ability to design test cases per persona and permission set.
• Experience writing test cases, executing test cycles, and managing defects in a tool such as Jira, Azure DevOps, qTest, or TestRail.
• Ability to write SOQL queries to verify data outcomes, and comfort with Data Loader or a similar tool for test data setup.
• Experience working in Agile or Scrum sprints, including sprint testing and release cycles.
• Strong attention to detail and clear written English — your defect reports should be reproducible without a follow-up conversation.
• Salesforce Certified Administrator, or the willingness to earn it within the first six months.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience testing Salesforce Revenue Cloud — CPQ, product and pricing rules, quote and approval flows, contracts, orders, or billing. Exposure to Revenue Cloud Advanced (formerly Revenue Lifecycle Management) is a strong plus.
• Experience testing Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud — sales agreements, account-based forecasting, run-rate business, or rebate management.
• Experience testing integrations, including API or middleware testing with Postman, and validating Salesforce–ERP data flows (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, or similar).
• Understanding of quote-to-cash end to end and the handoffs into ERP for fulfilment, invoicing, and revenue recognition.
• Familiarity with Salesforce release and environment management — sandbox strategy, change sets, or a DevOps tool such as Copado or Gearset — and with CI-triggered test execution.
• Exposure to performance, security, or accessibility testing on the Salesforce platform.
• Additional credentials such as Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder, Business Analyst, or an ISTQB Foundation certification.
• Prior experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or B2B distribution business.
• Salesforce Functional & Regression Testing
• Testing Flows, Apex & Integrations
• Test Case Design & Execution
• Defect Tracking & Release Validation
• Test Automation – learning/growth mindset
