About Portside, Inc.
Portside is a leading provider of modern software solutions for the global aviation industry. As a fast-growing SaaS company, we operate across three key verticals: business aviation, regional commercial aviation, and aircraft leasing & finance. With nearly 300 team members spread across five continents, we support over 1,000 enterprise customers, helping them streamline and manage all aspects of their day-to-day operations.
Job Summary
We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Salesforce Engineer who will play a key role in building and evolving the Salesforce-based core of the LeaseWorks product suite. LeaseWorks provides Salesforce-based software that helps aircraft lessors and airlines manage the full lifecycle of leased aircraft — including portfolio management, contracts, maintenance reserves, invoicing, technical records, utilization tracking, deal workflow automation and more. Our platform delivers a unified system of record that improves operational efficiency, financial accuracy, and collaboration across technical, commercial, and finance teams.
Salesforce development (Apex, LWC, integrations, architecture, data modeling) will be the main focus of this role. At the same time, our ecosystem includes several supporting technologies and tools — such as PowerBI reports and interactive dashboards, Nintex DocGen templates, and auxiliary services and integrations built in Python, React, and .NET – and you may occasionally work with these components to deliver complete end-to-end solutions.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a Salesforce-first environment but is comfortable stepping into adjacent systems when necessary. You will own complex features across multiple business domains (asset management, leasing operations, billing, utilization, compliance) and ensure that the platform remains scalable, reliable, and aligned with best engineering practices. The right person enjoys solving problems across the stack, collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams, and takes full ownership of delivering high-quality, production-ready software.
We actively use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor to accelerate engineering velocity, improve code quality, and streamline refactoring. In this role, you will work within an AI-augmented engineering workflow that includes AI-driven code reviews and automated debugging with tools like BugBot. On the product side, you will help design and implement AI-powered features using Salesforce’s native AI capabilities along with other AI technologies we adopt to deliver smarter workflows, predictive insights, and intelligent automation across the LeaseWorks platform.
We look forward to welcoming a teammate who shares our passion for innovation and helping us push the future of aircraft leasing technology forward.
