How to Write a Salesforce Developer Training Job Description

During our research, we saw plenty of job descriptions! Here are some of the elements that go into a typical job specification.

Job Title/Position Level

Some companies will only specify the level of developer, e.g. ‘Mid-level Salesforce Developer’ or ‘Senior Salesforce Engineer’. Others will put the exact Salesforce solution in the position title, e.g. ‘Salesforce Lightning Developer’ or ‘Salesforce CPQ Developer’, while others will feature that in the description.

Job Description and Responsibilities

Just like a typical job description, the role and responsibilities are listed out, including the company’s goals, the org hierarchy (who the individual will be reporting to), and individual departments that a successful candidate will work with. You should include the number of working hours, expectations and products/applications a developer will deal with after being hired.

During the analysis, we found 2,436 positions were remote (not based in a physical location). This relatively small number can be explained by the fact that these remote positions are typically filled through off-shoring vendors or freelance platforms.

Technical Requirements

In terms of technical requirements, there is no single approach, but there are commonalities:

• Years of Salesforce development experience,
• Previous experience in terms of the number of projects,
• Salesforce certifications (e.g. Platform Developer I, Platform Developer II),
• Many companies also require a degree in a relevant field of study.

Then there are the responsibilities that vary depending on the company needs and the job level, for example:

• ‘Develop Batch Apex classes and schedule those using Apex Schedulable classes’,
• Create custom reports, dashboards, email templates in HTML and Visualforce.
• Ability to apply best practices, standards, and SDLC concepts to all functional areas. Knowledge of design patterns/knowledge of agile methodology.
• Experience with web-based technologies like HTML, CSS, and Javascript
• Experience in Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service Lightning, Einstein Analytics, and Communities.

Interviewing a Developer

During the interview, technical knowledge will be assessed with questions (general interview questions for Salesforce Developers, and Lightning Developer interview questions).

Although practical experience is somewhat harder to gauge, be prepared to talk with a candidate about previous projects they worked on – what was similar/different to your use cases?

What did they learn from an earlier project that will be useful to apply to your business?
