Staff Engineer, Salesforce

Join our collaborative Salesforce development team as a hands-on Staff Salesforce ENgineer, where you will play a key role in designing, building, and maintaining scalable solutions across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Experience Cloud. You will also contribute to our growing investment in Salesforce Data Cloud and Agentforce, helping shape the next generation of our Salesforce capabilities.

This role for an experienced developer who enjoys writing production code, solving complex technical challenges, and influencing architecture and engineering standards. You will own solution design decisions within your domain, promote development best practices, and help advance our CI/CD maturity using Copado and Salesforce DX.

Working closely with developers, business analysts, product owners, and business stakeholders, you will contribute throughout the full sprint lifecycle—from requirements and technical design through development, testing, deployment, and production support.

Platform development

• Architect and govern hybrid declarative/programmatic solutions, balancing Flows and Apex with governor limit awareness

• Develop and maintain REST/SOAP API integrations with external systems using Named Credentials and Connected Apps

• Own custom object design, data model decisions, and sharing architecture in a multi-cloud org

AI, Agentforce & Data Cloud

• Configure and maintain Data Cloud data streams, data model objects, and identity resolution rulesets

• Build unified customer profiles by ingesting data from Salesforce CRM, external systems, and web/mobile event sources

• Create and manage segments, calculated insights, and activation targets for use in Service and Sales Cloud flows

• Collaborate with data and analytics teams on data governance, consent management, and profile hygiene

• Design and configure Agentforce agents — defining topics, instructions, and actions tied to Apex, flows, and external APIs

• Integrate Einstein features (Next Best Action, Case Classification, Copilot) within Service and Sales Cloud contexts

• Evaluate emerging Salesforce AI capabilities for production readiness and recommend adoption roadmap

DevOps AND Release Management

• Own and operate CI/CD pipelines using Salesforce DX (SFDX), Git, and Copado — including pipeline configuration, branch strategy, and quality gate rules

• Manage scratch org strategy, unlocked packages, and metadata conflict resolution across multi-sandbox environments

• Translate business requirements into technical design documents with documented trade-offs

• Mentor junior and mid-level developers through structured code review feedback and pairing

• Actively participate in sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming as a senior technical voice — not just a code contributor

• Partner with architects on data model design, sharing rules, and security architecture

• Deep expertise in Service Cloud: case management, Omni-Channel routing, entitlements, CTI/SCV integrations, and knowledge base configuration

• Solid Experience Cloud experience: site configuration, audience targeting, community sharing, CMS, and LWC for Experience

• Working knowledge of Data Cloud: data streams, data model objects, identity resolution, segments, and activation

• Expert-level Apex, LWC, SOQL/SOSL, and Flow — able to review and rewrite complex Apex logic

• Proficiency in Salesforce DX, Git (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket), and Copado for CI/CD pipeline ownership

• VS Code with Salesforce Extension Pack as primary IDE

• Strong grasp of Salesforce security model: profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, field-level security, and OWDs

• Experience with REST and SOAP API integrations using Named Credentials and external services

• Ability to write and maintain Apex test classes consistently above 85% code coverage

• Experience operating in large orgs: high record volumes, multi-sandbox environments, governor limit management

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on Agentforce experience: agent configuration, topic and action design, and prompt template management

• Experience with Data Cloud identity resolution and unified profile activation in Service or Sales Cloud contexts

• Familiarity with OmniStudio: FlexCards, OmniScripts, DataRaptors, and Integration Procedures
