Senior Salesforce Developer

Driving the digital transformation of enterprise applications, the Senior Salesforce Developer will be instrumental in delivering integrated Salesforce solutions that support critical business functions such as Sales, Service, Financing, and Operations. This role is central to elevating operational capabilities through the design and implementation of scalable Salesforce platforms, interfacing with ERP systems and innovating with AI-driven technologies. Operating within a complex, technology-rich environment, the successful candidate will significantly influence system efficiency, ensuring business agility and seamless data flow across diverse platforms.

The Senior Salesforce Developer is tasked with leading the end-to-end development of Salesforce applications using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), JavaScript, and the platform’s declarative tools like Flows and Platform Events. This position demands expertise in architecting integrations between Salesforce and enterprise systems including ERP solutions, cloud services, and various third-party applications, utilising APIs such as REST, SOAP, and GraphQL alongside middleware technologies. Through these integrations, the role ensures consistent, reliable data exchange and optimised user experiences across the organisation’s systems landscape.

Daily responsibilities include authoring detailed technical designs, producing architecture documentation, and conducting thorough code reviews that uphold quality and security standards. The Senior Salesforce Developer will also manage continuous integration and delivery pipelines, utilising tools like Salesforce DX (SFDX), GitHub, GitHub Actions, and static code analysis utilities such as PMD to automate deployments and support release management. Swiftly addressing and resolving production issues by performing root cause analysis forms a vital part of ensuring system stability and responsiveness to business needs.

Collaboration is a core element of this role, requiring close engagement with business stakeholders, solution architects, quality assurance teams, system administrators, and product owners within an Agile framework. This promotes iterative development and continuous alignment between technological solutions and evolving business objectives. Additionally, experience in developing AI-enabled applications using Salesforce Einstein and Agentforce is highly valued, enabling the creation of intelligent features that enhance operational workflows and customer interaction.

This is a permanent position based onsite within a regional office in California, with occasional travel necessary to support cross-site collaboration and business initiatives. The role offers the chance to contribute at a senior technical level within an organisation that depends heavily on advanced enterprise applications to meet its operational demands.

Candidates considered for the Senior Salesforce Developer role will hold a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related discipline, complemented by at least ten years of software development experience, including a minimum of six years specialising in Salesforce Apex and Lightning Web Component development. Proven success integrating Salesforce with ERP systems, as well as robust familiarity with API-driven enterprise integration patterns, is essential.

Candidates should demonstrate strong technical competence with REST and SOAP APIs, Platform Events, middleware solutions, and scalable integration architectures. Practical expertise with DevOps practices, including managing CI/CD pipelines through tools such as GitHub, Salesforce DX, and automated test and code review utilities, will be critical to success. Experience working within Agile teams is also expected to support collaborative delivery and flexibility in response to changing priorities.

Certification in Salesforce Platform Developer I is mandatory, ensuring foundational expertise with the Salesforce platform, while credentials such as Salesforce Platform Developer II and any AI certifications will be recognised advantages, reflecting advanced skills particularly relevant to AI-driven development.

In summary, the Senior Salesforce Developer will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic roadmap and technical delivery of Salesforce solutions that underpin essential enterprise functions. Balancing technical leadership with operational ownership, this function will not only deliver robust solutions to current business challenges but also provide scalable platforms that facilitate future growth and innovation.
