Salesforce Senior Developer

About the role

This role is for a Salesforce Senior Developer who turns complex product ideas into robust, production-ready code for the Global Luxury Maison CRM Factory. You will operate within small, cross-functional teams that rely on agile rituals like sprints and daily standups to deliver incremental value. A significant part of your week will be dedicated to planning, code review, and debugging, highlighting that engineering is as much about collaboration as it is about writing new code. The position requires you to communicate intricate technical concepts in plain language, ensuring that both technical and non-technical stakeholders understand the rationale behind every decision. You will exercise technical veto authority, stopping fast-fixes that could compromise platform integrity and maintaining a zero-tolerance stance against defects reaching production. Success in this role is defined by your ability to own end-to-end solutions while mentoring peers and upholding the craftsmanship of the codebase.

Key facts

What you'll do

You will own the entire lifecycle of feature implementation, translating design specifications into technical solutions that are deployed and documented to the highest standards for retail operations. Using technical veto authority, you will safeguard the platform by rejecting fast-fixes that introduce risk, ensuring production stability remains uncompromised. You will implement the technical components of automated business and regression tests, creating robust validation layers for retail and clienteling workflows. By actively managing and reducing technical debt, you will maintain the backlog to ensure long-term platform stability that supports continuous innovation and growth. You will handle corrective maintenance by investigating incidents, applying fixes, conducting unit tests, and delivering updated documentation that enhances future supportability. Driving minor change requests from initial analysis through specification, development, UAT support, and final delivery, you will ensure every release is controlled and traceable. You will optimize complex SOQL and SOSL queries, ensuring they perform efficiently within Salesforce governor limits to support high-volume retail environments. Leveraging Salesforce DX, VS Code Salesforce Extensions, and Git-based workflows, you will modernize development practices to improve speed and reliability. You will utilize CI/CD tooling such as Copado or Gearset to automate deployment pipelines, reducing manual errors and accelerating release cycles. Through code review leadership, you will set and enforce coding standards across a multi-developer squad, promoting consistency and quality in every pull request.
