- Work closely with other development team members to understand complex product requirements and translate them into scalable Service Cloud and Experience Cloud architecture and software designs
- Successfully implement development processes, coding best practices, code reviews, and AI-assisted development standards (including responsible use, review, and validation of AI-generated code)
- Design, build, and govern AI-driven agents and automations within Service Cloud and Experience Cloud (e.g., Agentforce), ensuring outputs are accurate, secure, and aligned with business processes
- Operate in various development environments (Agile, Waterfall, etc.) while collaborating with key stakeholders across sales technology teams
- Resolve complex technical issues across Salesforce and adjacent platforms (Oracle Sales Cloud Incentive Comp, Gainsight, Monday.com) as necessary
- Train and onboard entry-level software engineers, ensuring they are knowledgeable in Salesforce development standards and AI-assisted tooling as directed by department management
- Keep abreast of new Salesforce platform releases, Service Cloud and Experience Cloud feature developments, and evolving AI development tooling
- Design and work with complex Salesforce data models supporting a 2,000+ user org, including performance and scalability considerations
- Mentor less-senior software developers on Salesforce development methodologies, optimization techniques, and effective/responsible use of AI development tools
- Ensure development work aligns with release management, packaging, and compliance/audit requirements
- All other duties as assigned.

- Strong proficiency in Apex, SOQL/SOSL, and data manipulation/optimization techniques (bulkification, governor-limit-aware design, asynchronous processing patterns)
- Deep working knowledge of Service Cloud: case management, Omni-Channel routing, queues and skills-based routing, entitlements and milestones, Knowledge, and (a plus) Service Cloud Voice/CTI integration
- Solid experience with Experience Cloud: LWR and Aura-based site building, community templates, sharing sets/rules, guest user security, and partner/customer self-service portal design

- Hands-on proficiency with AI-assisted development and AI-driven service/experience tooling - Agentforce/Einstein for service agents and experience personalization, AI coding assistants (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) for Apex/LWC delivery, and evaluation of AI-generated code and outputs for security, compliance, and quality before production
- Strong research skills, including staying current on Salesforce release notes (three major releases/year), Service Cloud and Experience Cloud feature rollouts, and AI feature releases
- Strong knowledge of industry best practices in Salesforce development (Apex design patterns, trigger frameworks, CI/CD via tools like Copado, Gearset, or Salesforce DX/SFDX pipelines)
- Knowledge of the broader sales technology tool stack and how it integrates with Salesforce (CPQ/Incentive Comp platforms, Customer Success platforms like Gainsight, work management tools like Monday.com)
- Ability to interface competently with business analysts, admins, and other technical personnel to finalize requirements and translate them into technical designs
- Ability to work well with internal teams and external SI/ISV partners
