Salesforce Developer is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining custom features and functionalities within the Salesforce Community Cloud platform, utilizing Apex, Visualforce, Lightning components, and other Salesforce tools to create engaging and user-friendly community portals for customer interaction, knowledge sharing, and collaboration, while ensuring scalability and performance to meet business needs; they work closely with stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions and manage the full development lifecycle from design to deployment.
Key Responsibilities
Platform Development (Experience Cloud) Build
LWC
for portal UIs (authenticated & guest paths), handle SEO/performance (LWR), and protect data via
sharing sets ,
audiences , and
guest user hardening . Implement
self-service features
(case creation, knowledge, entitlement checks) and
partner features
(deal registration, PRM workflows). Integrate
SSO
(SAML/OIDC) and external identity; manage external user lifecycle (registration, Just-in-Time provisioning). Secure external endpoints: enforce
field-level security (FLS) , data masking in lower envs, rate limiting strategies via platform/middleware. Platform Development (Sales Cloud) Model
Lead → Account/Contact → Opportunity
processes; implement
assignment, validation, and automation
with
Flows
(before/after save) and Apex where complexity/limits require it. Implement
forecasting, territory, product & price
logic alignment; collaborate with CPQ/ERP teams. Build productivity experiences:
seller workspaces in LWC , activity capture alignment, Outlook/Gmail integration guardrails. Custom Code & Patterns Write
Apex (sync/async) : Queueables, Batch, Schedulable, Platform Events, CDC consumers; ensure
bulk-safe
and
idempotent
logic. Use
Composite, Bulk v2
APIs; implement
Named Credentials , External Services (OpenAPI), and
callout patterns
with timeouts/retries. Optimize data access:
selective SOQL , skinny/index strategies (in partnership with SF support), handling
LDV
(Large Data Volume). Integration Engineering Design and implement integrations via
API-led
(System/Process/Experience APIs) and
event-driven
(Platform Events, CDC → Kafka/Event Hub/MuleSoft) patterns. Manage
auth flows
(OAuth 2.0-JWT, client credentials), token lifecycle, secrets rotation. Build
error handling
(retry/backoff, DLQ, poison message handling),
idempotency keys , and
correlation IDs
for observability. Coordinate
MDM
integration (golden records), enforce survivorship rules, dedupe and enrichment streams. Quality, Security, and DevOps uthor
unit tests
(meaningful ≥75% coverage), create
integration & regression suites , and contribute to
test data
strategies. Participate in
code reviews , static analysis (PMD), and guardrails for
Flows vs Apex
usage. Implement
source-driven dev
(SFDX, unlocked packages), CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins, or Copado/Gearset),
org/environment strategy , and
data seeding . Enforce
least privilege
access, Shield encryption where applicable,
event monitoring
dashboards for critical paths. Essential Skills & Tools Salesforce Stack pex, LWC, SOQL/SOSL, Flow
, Platform Events, CDC, External Services. Experience Cloud:
LWR templates, Experience Builder, sharing sets, moderation rules, external identity. Sales Cloud:
Leads/Opportunities/Forecasting/Territory, Activity Capture, Reports & Dashboards. Integration & Middleware REST/SOAP,
Bulk API v2 , Composite, GraphQL (if available in your org),
Named Credentials , OAuth/SAML/OIDC. zure Integration Services
,
Kafka/Event Hubs . Patterns:
Request/Reply ,
Pub/Sub ,
Event Sourcing ,
API-led connectivity . Data & Performance LDV strategies,
asynchronous processing , caching approaches for portals,
governor limit
awareness, selective queries. Data quality: duplicates, survivorship, reference data sync. DevOps & Observability SFDX
, unlocked packages, scratch orgs, Git workflows,
CI/CD pipelines . Logging/monitoring: platform logs,
Event Monitoring , API gateway analytics, synthetic checks. Security & Compliance FLS/CRUD
, object/record sharing, guest user hardening, Shield (at rest), TLS/mTLS, PII/PCI/PHI handling,
audit trails . Preferred Background & Certifications 5-8+ years on Salesforce; 2+ in Experience Cloud and Sales Cloud at scale. Platform Developer I/II, Experience Cloud Consultant, Sales Cloud Consultant. Nice to have: System/Integration Architect, MuleSoft Developer/Architect.
