Salesforce Engineer

About the role

This isn't a role where you sit behind a ticket queue. Business Technology is a new department, and you'll be on the ground with non-technical colleagues regularly, helping them figure out what they actually need and then building it. You will serve as a foundational member of the team. While your primary expertise is in Salesforce, we are looking for a versatile problem-solver—someone willing to jump into other technology stacks and solve business problems regardless of the platform they live in. You will work closely with other engineers on the team, actively cross-training them in Salesforce architecture while learning broader engineering systems to ensure supportability and redundancy.

Responsibilities

• Act as our internal Salesforce subject matter expert, cross-training other engineers on the platform while actively learning and contributing to other systems in our tech stack.
• Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flows, and platform best practices.
• Own and evolve integrations between Salesforce and other internal systems—ensuring reliable data flow, process automation, and clean architecture across the stack.
• Participate in the full development lifecycle: technical design, build, testing, deployment, and post-launch support.
• Write well-structured, maintainable code that adheres to engineering standards including version control, code review, and unit/integration testing to achieve 85% test coverage.
• Translate business requirements from internal stakeholders (Finance, RevOps, Sales, CS, IT, and Implementation) into technical solutions.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, deployment plans, and release notes.
• Provide end-user guidance as needed in support of new feature rollouts.

Qualifications

• 5 years of demonstrated Salesforce development experience with Apex, SOQL, LWC, and Salesforce automation tools.
• Strong business analysis skills: ability to gather requirements, propose solutions, and communicate clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in an Agile environment and using project management tools like Jira.
• Familiarity with data modeling, relational databases, and ETL concepts.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, MIS, or equivalent experience.
• Based in the Chicago area or willing to relocate; able to work on-site at least 3 days per week for this role.

Core Competencies

• Customer focus: your colleagues across Hireology are your customers, and their success is the measure of yours.
• Process innovation: a genuine interest in using technology and automation to make work better, not just faster.
• Architect mindset: comfortable planning, data modeling, and designing before building.
• Technical depth: solid across Salesforce development, platform best practices, and ETL concepts.
• Collaborative communication: able to translate technical work clearly for people who aren’t engineers.
• Autonomous ownership: a self-directed approach—can drive work independently, operate with limited internal ramp-up support, and hit the ground running.
• Agility: comfortable context switching, making quick calls with incomplete information, and adjusting course without a lot of hand-holding.
• Tech-agnostic problem solving: a willingness to step outside your primary domain expertise to solve the problem at hand, regardless of the platform.

Benefits

• Health, Dental, and Vision coverage from day one
• 401(k) with company match
• Unlimited PTO and mental health days
• External learning budget
• Real career advancement—we promote from within
