Senior Salesforce Administrator

Description

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Salesforce Developer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining high-performance solutions on the Salesforce platform. We are looking for a developer who prioritizes system stability, data integrity, and the proactive management of technical debt to ensure a sustainable and scalable environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Core Development: Design and develop scalable technical solutions using LWC, Apex (Triggers, Controllers, Asynchronous processing), and modern JavaScript.
• System Integrity \& Stability: Enforce data consistency through rigorous server-side validation and "defensive" coding practices. Implement robust exception handling and logging frameworks to ensure the platform remains reliable under heavy load.
• Technical Debt Management: Proactively identify and refactor legacy code or "quick-fix" solutions. You will be responsible for balancing the delivery of new features with the necessity of maintaining a clean, efficient codebase.
• Documentation: Contribute to technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, ERDs, and inline code comments, for the areas you work on. You are not expected to own the full documentation practice, but you are expected to leave your work well-documented so that complex logic is understandable for the rest of the team and future maintainers.
• Integration Frameworks: Implement secure integrations using Connected Apps, External Client Apps, and modern authentication protocols to bridge Salesforce with external systems.
• Source Control \& Deployments: Follow a source-driven (code-first) development approach using Git and GitLab. Our DevOps engineer manages the CI/CD pipeline (Copado / GitLab / Jira), but you are expected to:
• Work comfortably in a source-driven workflow, committing and managing your code in GitLab.
• Learn and adopt Copado as the deployment tool to commit and promote changes through our pipeline.
• Collaborate with the DevOps engineer on deployment processes and branching strategy.
• Platform Currency: Stay current with Salesforce seasonal releases to leverage new features (like Data Cloud or Flow enhancements) that can replace custom code and reduce maintenance overhead.

Required Technical Expertise

• LWC \& Apex Mastery: Advanced knowledge of Lightning Web Components and Apex, with a focus on writing "bulkified" code that respects governor limits.
• Data Architecture: Deep understanding of Salesforce sharing models, object relationships, and the Order of Execution to prevent recursion and data contention.
• Source-Driven Development: Strong experience with a code-first approach. You build and retrieve using SFDX/SF CLI and commit to version control as your source of truth.
• Modern Tooling: Proficiency with SFDX, VS Code, and CLI-driven development.
• Version Control: Solid experience with Git (branching, merging, pull requests) in a multi-developer environment. Familiarity with GitLab is a plus.

Professional Attributes

• Accountability: You take responsibility for the stability of your code and proactively address performance bottlenecks or data anomalies.
• Sustainable Mindset: You advocate for "doing it right" over "doing it fast," understanding the long-term cost of technical debt.
• Detail-Oriented: You believe that code isn't "finished" until it is properly tested, documented, and peer-reviewed.
• Adaptable: You are willing to learn new tools (e.g., Copado) and adapt to established team workflows.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3\+ years of Salesforce development experience.
• Certifications (Preferred, but not required):
• Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I \& II
• Salesforce Certified JavaScript Developer I
• Salesforce Certified Integration Architect
• English Proficiency: Strong written and spoken English required. This role works directly with our US-based team and reports to a tech lead in the US, so clear communication across time zones is part of the daily workflow.
