About The Position

The Senior Salesforce Engineer will spend most of their time writing code and be responsible for developing, maintaining, and modernizing an established Salesforce platform supporting live logistics operations. They will work across Lightning Web Components, Aura Components, Visualforce, and Apex Components, confidently navigating complex architectures and tracing issues from the user interface through Apex and integration layers while ensuring reliability and data integrity.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience, with the vast majority of that time spent writing Apex, building custom UI, and architecting solutions.
Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I
Advanced SOQL/SOSL, enterprise trigger handler frameworks, bulkification patterns, and asynchronous design (Batchable, Queueable, Schedulable)
Proven track record building and maintaining custom REST integrations on both sides (inbound and outbound), including Named Credentials, complex JSON/XML serialization, authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0), and fault-tolerant error handling
Extensive experience in Lightning Web Components (LWC), along with the practical fluency to read, maintain, and refactor legacy Aura Components and Visualforce.
Thorough mastery of Salesforce sharing architecture, record-level security, Large Data Volumes (LDV), and CPU/heap governor limit optimization.
Git-based branch workflows, Salesforce CLI (sf), metadata/source format deployments, and resolving merge/deployment conflicts.
Clear technical writing ability for documentation, pull requests, and architectural discussions.
Experience safely introducing developer productivity tools (AI-assisted coding, IDE tooling) and exploring Salesforce AI features (Agentforce, Prompt Builder).

Nice To Haves

Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II, Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder, or Salesforce Certified System / Application Architect credentials.
Familiarity with healthcare/HIPAA compliance, PHI access controls, or logistics/transportation operations.

Responsibilities

Build and modernize internal tools used by operations and dispatch, delivering new capabilities in Lightning Web Components (LWC) while strategically refactoring legacy Aura Components and Visualforce pages into modern patterns.
Design, build, and maintain high-throughput integrations, consuming external services and exposing custom Apex REST endpoints for internal systems.
Own business-critical Batch, Queueable, and Schedulable Apex jobs, ensuring jobs run cleanly within governor limits, implementing robust retry/error-handling patterns, and guiding the migration of legacy automations to Flow or modern Apex.
Build scalable data models and manage a granular record visibility architecture (Apex Managed Sharing, programmatic sharing rules, and performance tuning at scale).
Learn and utilize existing practices across CI/CD, branching strategies, and automated testing, helping to evaluate and safely integrate modern developer tooling (including AI coding assistants and Salesforce platform features like Agentforce and Prompt Builder where they deliver genuine value).
Build comprehensive unit tests with meaningful assertions and robust mock frameworks.
Use modern Git-based workflows, automated validation, and peer code reviews.
Choose Salesforce Flow and native configuration when it is the right architectural tool, and use Apex when performance, scale, or maintainability demands it.
Diagnose debug logs, governor limit exceptions, and integration timeouts to fix root causes rather than symptoms.
Collaborate directly with technical leads, BAs, and stakeholders to translate operational needs into scalable technical designs with the ability to push back constructively when a proposed approach will not scale.
