Salesforce Developer
This full-time, remote role pays up to $118,000 a year and is open to candidates in any location. The work centers on customizing Salesforce for a business that already runs its core operations through it, rather than standing up a fresh org from scratch.
Qualifications
A bachelor's degree in computer science covers the education requirement. Beyond that, candidates need 24 months of hands-on experience customizing the Salesforce platform, along with certifications such as Platform Developer I. Apex and Lightning components should already be familiar tools, not something learned on the job.
Responsibilities
- Customize and extend Salesforce through Apex code and Lightning components
- Integrate Salesforce with other systems the business depends on, matching data formats and handling sync failures gracefully
- Maintain configurations that support existing business processes without breaking what teams already rely on
Technical skills
- Apex
- Visualforce
- Lightning components
- Salesforce configuration
- SOQL
- Relevant Salesforce certifications
Nice to have
These strengthen an application without being required.
- Platform Developer II or App Builder certification
- Experience with Salesforce DX and version-controlled deployments
- Familiarity with Flow or Process Builder for declarative automation
How the team operates
Naukri Mitra conducts a first-round screening for this position before candidates move on to a technical conversation with the Salesforce team lead. On one recent deployment, a validation rule change designed to enforce a new sales process ended up blocking legitimate record saves for an unrelated department, and the rollback had to happen mid-day once support tickets started coming in. Coordinating changes across departments that share the same org is a real part of the job, and the team treats testing in a sandbox environment as non-negotiable before anything ships to production.
Compensation and benefits
Base salary reaches $118,000 annually, which sits well within Salesforce developer remote salary ranges for someone with two years of hands-on platform experience.
- Health coverage
- Paid time off
- 401(k) matching
- Certification reimbursement
Applying
Submit a resume along with your current Salesforce certifications and, if you have one, a Trailhead profile or example of an org you've built or customized. Candidates typically move to a technical screen within a week or two of applying.
