About this role.
This Senior Salesforce Developer role focuses on hands-on development and maintenance within a mature, heavily customized enterprise Salesforce environment. The successful candidate will build secure, bulk-safe solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL/SOSL, Flows, and asynchronous processing. The role also involves troubleshooting production issues, supporting REST/SOAP integrations, improving platform maintainability, and contributing to CI/CD and metadata-driven releases. It is a remote, LATAM-targeted position working Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM PST, with substantial collaboration across architecture, QA, integration, administration, and product teams. The employer seeks an experienced individual contributor rather than a people manager or Salesforce architecture owner.

Sample interview questions
I design triggers to process collections rather than individual records, move logic into service layers, and consolidate SOQL and DML outside loops. I use Maps and Sets for efficient lookups, select only necessary fields, and test with bulk record volumes to validate behavior and limits.
I prefer Flow for straightforward, maintainable declarative automation that administrators may need to manage, such as simple field updates, approvals, and guided processes. I use Apex when requirements need complex transaction control, sophisticated error handling, reusable domain logic, high-volume processing, advanced integrations, or functionality that Flow cannot reliably support.
I first establish scope and business impact, then review integration logs, debug logs, error payloads, authentication status, endpoint configuration, and recent deployment changes. I isolate whether the failure is caused by Salesforce logic, middleware, credentials, payload structure, rate limits, or the external system, then implement a controlled fix with regression tests and clear stakeholder communication.
I would keep presentation logic in the component, use wire adapters where reactive reads are appropriate, and use imperative Apex calls for user-driven actions or controlled error handling. The Apex controller should remain thin and delegate business logic to service classes, enforce sharing and CRUD/FLS requirements, return focused DTOs where useful, and provide actionable error messages.
I would cover positive, negative, bulk, security, and integration-related scenarios, including realistic Field Service data relationships and user permission contexts. I would validate asynchronous behavior where relevant, use test data factories, verify expected side effects, run targeted regression tests, and confirm the deployment plan and rollback considerations in the appropriate sandbox.
Who We Are
Launchpad Technologies Inc. is a global technology partner connecting top talent with high-impact projects across North America and beyond. We specialize in Staff Augmentation and product development, helping companies scale with agility while empowering professionals to grow in meaningful, remote-first environments.
What we are looking for
We’re looking for a Senior Salesforce Developer to join the team supporting a large, mature enterprise Salesforce environment. This is a highly hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving complex platform challenges, writing high-quality code, and working within a heavily customized Salesforce ecosystem.
You’ll spend most of your time developing and maintaining Salesforce solutions using Apex and Lightning Web Components, while also supporting existing enterprise integrations and helping improve the stability and maintainability of the platform.
The environment has evolved significantly over the years, which means you’ll work with both modern Salesforce development and existing legacy components. New development is focused on Apex and LWC, while existing Flows, Visualforce components, and integrations continue to be supported as the platform evolves.
If you are a strong Salesforce engineer who understands how to build secure, bulk-safe, scalable solutions, and you enjoy troubleshooting complex real-world systems, we’d love to hear from you.
📅Start date: September, 2026
🖋️Contract type: Full-time / Contractor
🕘Work hours: Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM PST

What You’ll Be Doing
- Design, develop, test, and maintain Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL/SOSL, and platform-native automation.
- Build Apex classes, triggers, service layers, test classes, Batch Apex, Queueable Apex, and scheduled processes.
- Develop reusable Lightning Web Components using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, LDS, wire adapters, and Apex controllers.
- Write efficient SOQL/SOSL queries and build solutions that respect Salesforce governor limits and bulk-processing requirements.
- Support and improve a mature, highly customized Salesforce Field Service environment.
- Maintain and troubleshoot existing integrations between Salesforce and external enterprise systems using APIs and middleware.
- Work with REST/SOAP APIs, JSON/XML payloads, OAuth, Named Credentials, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture where applicable.
- Configure and extend Salesforce declarative automation, including Flows, validation rules, custom metadata, custom settings, and approval-related logic.
- Make sound technical decisions about when to use declarative Salesforce capabilities versus custom Apex development.
- Implement and maintain Salesforce data models, security controls, permission sets, sharing rules, and field-level security.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues and contribute to reducing technical debt while maintaining platform stability.
- Create meaningful automated tests covering bulk scenarios, positive and negative paths, and release-readiness expectations.
- Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, defect resolution, and production support.
- Support source-driven development, metadata deployments, sandbox strategies, and CI/CD practices.
- Create and maintain clear technical documentation for Salesforce components, integrations, releases, and operational support.
