• DevOps & Testing: Maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using Salesforce DX, Git, and deployment tools (Copado, Gearset, SFDMU, GitHub Actions). Write comprehensive unit test coverage (≥ 85%) and conduct code reviews.
• Collaboration & Client Leadership: Work in an Agile/Scrum environment, participating in daily standups, sprint planning, and backlog refinement. Interface directly with clients to clarify requirements and explain complex technical tradeoffs.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Experience: 3–5+ years of hands‑on software development experience with a strong focus on Salesforce Core (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud).
• Advanced proficiency in Apex design patterns, trigger frameworks, and async processing.
• Deep experience with modern front‑end frameworks, specifically Lightning Web Components (LWC) and JavaScript (ES6+).
• Hands‑on experience with Salesforce REST/SOAP APIs, OAuth, and integration patterns.
• Solid understanding of Salesforce governor limits, security architecture (OWD, Sharing Rules, Field‑Level Security), and enterprise data modeling.
• Proficient with Salesforce DX (SFDX), Git version control, and automated deployment pipelines.
• Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I (PDI) (preferable)
• Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II (PDII) or Platform App Builder (preferable)
• Agency Mindset: Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage time effectively across multi‑client project environments.
