Staff Salesforce Developer
We’re looking for a Staff Salesforce Developer to join our GTM Business Systems team. This team is responsible for designing, building, and scaling the business systems that power the entire customer lifecycle — from initial lead acquisition to sales, renewals, billing, customer success, and advocacy. Our ecosystem includes Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and CPQ, Marketo, NetSuite, Workato, Logisense, and Fastly products.
What You'll Do:
- Architect, design, and implement scalable Salesforce solutions across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and CPQ using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWCs), and Salesforce APIs.
- Lead technical design reviews and ensure best practices for security, performance, maintainability, and scalability.
- Partner with product owners and business stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver high-impact solutions aligned with GTM strategy.
- Develop and maintain integrations between Salesforce and systems like NetSuite, Workato (for automation/orchestration), Marketo, Logisense (billing), and internal Fastly systems.
- Drive engineering best practices — including code review standards, and automated testing — to ensure high-quality releases.
- Mentor and guide Salesforce developers, providing technical leadership and code review feedback.
- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, ensuring the platform is optimized for scale and data integrity.
- Continuously improve documentation, internal technical knowledge, and operational processes.
- Participate in agile ceremonies, release planning, and deployment activities as part of our SDLC.
What We're Looking For:
- 7+ years of progressive experience as a Salesforce Developer, Technical Lead, or Architect, with at least 3 years at a senior/staff engineer level.
- Expertise in Apex, SOQL, Lightning Web Components, and Salesforce APIs, with a history of building complex enterprise-grade solutions.
- Strong understanding of Salesforce platform architecture, data modeling, security model, and governor limits.
- Proven experience implementing Quote-to-Cash and Subscription Management processes in Salesforce (CPQ, Advanced Approvals, Subscription/Contract automation).
- Hands-on experience with Workato or similar integration platforms to build robust cross-system workflows.
- Familiarity with NetSuite ERP, Logisense (or other billing platforms), and marketing automation tools (Marketo preferred).
- Experience leading end-to-end development projects, including requirements gathering, solution design, implementation, and rollout.
- Knowledge of Salesforce permissions, profiles, sharing rules, and reporting/dashboards
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Gearset, Copado, or equivalent) and Git-based version control.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex solutions to business and technical stakeholders.
We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these:
- Hands-on experience with Platform Events, Async Apex, custom metadata types, and high-volume data strategies.
- Salesforce certifications such as Platform Developer II, Application Architect, or System Architect.
- Contributions to Salesforce open-source projects, Trailhead Ranger status, or active Salesforce community involvement.
- UI experience using Javascript, HTML and CSS.
