Salesforce Engineer

About the Role

OpenNova is partnering with a growing organization expanding its Salesforce platform and technology capabilities. We are seeking a Mid-Level Salesforce Developer to design, build, and support scalable solutions across the Salesforce ecosystem. This role is ideal for someone comfortable with Apex, Lightning Web Components, Salesforce Flows, configuration, data modeling, and platform automation. You should understand when custom development is necessary versus declarative capabilities and how to build maintainable solutions as the environment grows.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and support Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Salesforce APIs, and core platform capabilities.
• Build and maintain declarative solutions including Flows, validation rules, approval processes, dynamic forms, and page layouts.
• Evaluate business and technical requirements to determine the right balance between declarative and programmatic development.
• Develop scalable, bulkified solutions that follow Salesforce governor limits and platform best practices.
• Troubleshoot existing Salesforce functionality and identify opportunities for optimization, refactoring, and technical debt reduction.
• Design and support Salesforce data models, object relationships, and data integrity practices.
• Configure and maintain Salesforce security and sharing models, including profiles, permission sets, roles, and field-level security.
• Work closely with Salesforce administrators, architects, and engineering leadership to align development with broader platform standards and governance.
• Develop and support integrations between Salesforce and external applications using REST and SOAP APIs.
• Contribute to event-driven and integration-based solutions where appropriate.
• Build automation strategies that reduce duplication, prevent conflicts, and limit long-term maintenance overhead.
• Support Experience Cloud implementations and enhancements, including Apex and LWC for portal functionality, security, usability, and performance.
• Participate in code reviews, unit testing, peer feedback, and technical design discussions.
• Support Salesforce deployments, release planning, environment management, and post-deployment validation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across development, test, and production environments.
• Participate in Agile delivery activities including sprint planning, stand-ups, grooming, and retrospectives.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders and cross-functional technology teams to translate requirements into practical Salesforce solutions.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of hands-on Salesforce development experience.
• Strong proficiency with Apex and Lightning Web Components.
• Strong understanding of Salesforce data models, platform architecture, and governor limits.
• Experience with Salesforce declarative capabilities including Flows, validation rules, security configuration, and platform automation.
• Experience working across Salesforce products such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or similar environments.
• Experience designing and delivering maintainable Salesforce solutions with limited supervision.
• Experience developing or supporting Salesforce integrations using APIs.
• Understanding of Salesforce security, roles, profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, and field-level security.
• Experience working in an Agile or iterative development environment.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with developers, administrators, architects, and business stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Salesforce certifications such as Platform Developer I or Salesforce Administrator.
• Experience with Experience Cloud.
• Experience with middleware or complex Salesforce integration environments.
• Exposure to CI/CD, DevOps tooling, release automation, or Salesforce deployment tools.
• Consulting or client-facing experience across multiple business use cases.
• Experience working across both declarative and programmatic Salesforce solutions rather than operating exclusively as a developer or administrator.

About You

This role is best suited for a technically strong yet practical Salesforce developer. You should be comfortable owning development work independently while collaborating with architects, senior developers, administrators, and business stakeholders. The environment is evolving, so you should be adaptable and comfortable working across different areas of Salesforce. You should understand business problems, determine the right Salesforce approach, build clean solutions, and support them post-release.
