• Contribute to and maintain technical documentation (design specs, deployment notes, release documentation).
• Use Jira to document user stories, acceptance criteria, and design changes for both defect remediation and new feature development.
• Required Qualifications
• Proven hands-on experience with Apex (classes, triggers) and Lightning Web Components (LWC).
• Strong understanding of declarative Salesforce configuration (Flow Builder, Process Builder migration, validation rules, page layouts, permission sets).
• Production experience with Copado (or comparable Salesforce CI/CD tooling) for release management.
• Experience writing Apex unit tests and working within a DevOps-driven defect remediation process.
• Practical experience with Jira for agile story writing, acceptance criteria, and defect tracking.
• Strong written communication skills for technical documentation.
• Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Salesforce Platform Developer I/II certification.
