| Job Description: |
The Salesforce Developer I position will serve an important role in maintaining and enhancing the custom codebase that underpins many of our more complex solutions. While we strive to follow the Salesforce model of “clicks not code,” we often need to augment or extend the platform with APEX code, LWC components, and other pieces of custom code. This role will work closely with other developers and members of the CRM Team. Some projects may also require collaboration with developers and analysts on other UFIT teams. The position will participate in collecting requirements, developing scalable solutions, and ensuring consistency to Salesforce standard methodologies and coding patterns adopted by the CRM Team. The successful candidate will be expected either to bring or to develop a deep understanding of the Salesforce architecture to understand and produce code that aligns with the platform and how our specific instance functions. In addition to the coding and development responsibilities, this position will also be expected to function as a Salesforce administrator which will help deepen their knowledge of the system and the business processes we support.

- Collaborate with peers to share and enhance technical skills and understanding of Salesforce processes.
