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.
