IT Salesforce Programmer Analyst 4 (VA813398)
Key Responsibilities
-
Develop and maintain Flows, Apex classes and triggers and Lightning Web Components (LWC) to extend Salesforce functionality in support of business requirements.
-
Apply a configuration-first approach — favor declarative solutions (Flows, Validation Rules, Permission Sets) before custom code, reserving Apex/LWC development for requirements that exceed configuration capabilities.
-
Use Copado CI/CD to manage source control, deployments, and release pipelines across Salesforce environments.
-
Write and maintain Apex unit tests (meeting org code-coverage requirements) and collaborate with the DevOps team to debug, triage, and remediate defects.
-
Contribute to and maintain technical documentation (design specs, deployment notes, release documentation).
-
Use Jira to document user stories, acceptance criteria, and design changes for both defect remediation and new feature development.
Required Qualifications
-
Proven hands-on experience with Apex (classes, triggers) and Lightning Web Components (LWC).
-
Strong understanding of declarative Salesforce configuration (Flow Builder, Process Builder migration, validation rules, page layouts, permission sets).
-
Production experience with Copado (or comparable Salesforce CI/CD tooling) for release management.
-
Experience writing Apex unit tests and working within a DevOps-driven defect remediation process.
-
Practical experience with Jira for agile story writing, acceptance criteria, and defect tracking.
-
Strong written communication skills for technical documentation.
-
Exposure to Salesforce AI capabilities (Agentforce, Einstein, Prompt Builder) or familiarity with recent Dreamforce product announcements.
-
Salesforce Platform Developer I/II certification.
-
Experience supporting government/public-sector Salesforce implementations.
