About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Salesforce Developer to join our Revenue Technology team. This is a full-stack role spanning both configuration and development, requiring deep technical expertise across the entire Salesforce platform.

You will be the technical backbone of our Salesforce platform — owning the design and delivery of complex solutions across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and CPQ, while working closely with business stakeholders to translate process requirements into scalable, well-architected systems.

What You Will Do

• Design and build complex Salesforce Flows, validation rules, and automation to support Sales, Customer Success, Finance, and Contract Management processes

• Develop Apex classes, triggers, batch jobs, and Lightning Web Components for requirements that go beyond declarative capabilities

• Own the technical design of CPQ solutions including product configuration, pricing rules, quote templates, and contract amendments

• Build and maintain integrations between Salesforce and third-party systems using REST/SOAP APIs and middleware platforms such as MuleSoft

• Manage deployments across sandbox and production environments using CI/CD best practices and change sets

• Take ownership of technical design decisions, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with Salesforce best practices

• Contribute to platform governance data model design, security model, profile and permission set architecture, and org health

• Partner with the Process team to review business requirements early and identify technical risks before build begins

• Define and document technical specifications that junior developers and admins can execute against

• Act as a technical reviewer for peer work and contribute to raising the overall quality bar of the team

• Work directly with business stakeholders across Sales, CS, Finance, and Operations to understand requirements and translate them into well-scoped technical solutions

• Participate in business process design sessions and contribute a technical perspective to how processes should be structured before they are built

• Communicate technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders explaining trade-offs, constraints, and recommendations in plain language

• Use AI tools (e.g. Einstein, Agentforce, or third-party LLM integrations) to enhance forecasting, opportunity scoring, and automated content generation within Salesforce

• Evaluate and prototype AI-assisted workflows such as intelligent lead routing, AI-generated task recommendations, and automated data enrichment and assess their suitability for production

• Stay current with Salesforce AI developments and contribute ideas on where AI can replace manual processes or improve data quality within the existing architecture

What You Bring

Essential Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience in a professional environment

• Strong proficiency in Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL, and the Salesforce data model

• Deep experience with Salesforce Flow including Record-Triggered, Screen, and Scheduled Flows and a clear view of when to use declarative vs programmatic approaches

• Proven experience with Sales Cloud and Service Cloud implementations at scale

• Hands-on CPQ experience product rules, pricing logic, quote-to-contract lifecycle, and amendments

• Experience designing and building integrations with external systems via REST/SOAP APIs

• Solid understanding of Salesforce security model profiles, permission sets, field-level security, sharing rules, and OWD

• Familiarity with deployment tooling change sets, Salesforce CLI, and version control workflows

• Practical use of LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) for documentation, requirements drafting, or delivery acceleration

• Understanding of AI concepts (prompt engineering, RAG, agents) sufficient to evaluate and scope AI-augmented Salesforce features

Nice to Have

• Experience with MuleSoft or equivalent integration middleware

• Exposure to Salesforce CPQ billing or subscription management

• Salesforce certifications - Platform Developer I/II, CPQ Specialist, or B2B Commerce

• Experience working in a Revenue Operations or commercial technology context

• Familiarity with Agentforce or Salesforce AI features

Ways of Working

• You are comfortable owning solutions end-to-end from requirements through to deployment without needing close supervision

• You ask the right questions before building, not after

• You document your work clearly and treat maintainability as part of the definition of done

• You can work across teams and communicate technical complexity in a way that builds trust with non-technical stakeholders
