About The Position

ARA is looking for a skilled Salesforce Developer who is ready to take real ownership of a platform that matters. ARA is just completing a meaningful technology transformation, and this role sits at the center of it. You will build, enhance, and support solutions across membership, events, sales, and service delivery on Salesforce with Fonteva, partnering closely with business and technical teams to deliver work that directly serves our members and staff. This is a great fit for someone with three to five years of Salesforce development experience who is approaching the senior level. You have solid Apex and LWC capability, good instincts about when to build versus configure, and a track record of delivering in real production environments. You take pride in clean, maintainable work and communicate well across technical and non-technical audiences. Fonteva experience is highly valued and will give you a strong head start. If you have worked in an association, membership, or nonprofit Salesforce environment, you already know the context we operate in. If not, a strong developer who is curious about the domain is equally welcome. Architecture and technical design experience is a plus and opens a natural growth path in this role.

Association, membership, events, credentialing, and commerce/payment workflows (including awareness of PCI-related constraints and best practices)
Familiarity with integrations, APIs, and asynchronous processing patterns
Experience with Git, CI/CD, and modern Salesforce deployment practices
