Salesforce is a leading cloud-based platform providing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions alongside a suite of applications focused on customer service, marketing automation, analytics, and application development. Known for its scalability and customizability, Salesforce supports a range of industries in managing customer data, streamlining business processes, and enhancing customer relationships.
Salesforce is applied across various functions in organizations, including:
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Centralizes customer data for sales, marketing, and support teams.
- Sales and Marketing Automation: Automates outreach, tracking, and analytics for optimized campaigns and personalized customer journeys.
- Customer Support and Service: Empowers support teams to provide proactive assistance, track service cases, and use AI-driven insights.
- E-commerce Solutions: Through platforms like Commerce Cloud, Salesforce enables businesses to create and manage online stores.
- Custom Application Development: With Salesforce App Cloud, companies can build custom applications using a scalable infrastructure.
Salesforce development involves a comprehensive set of tools and frameworks, including:
- Apex: A proprietary programming language in Salesforce for backend development and process automation.
- Visualforce: A framework for creating custom user interfaces, giving developers control over layout and design.
- Lightning Framework: Enables the creation of modern, responsive interfaces with Lightning Web Components (LWC) and offers pre-built solutions.
- Salesforce DX (Developer Experience): A set of tools that includes version control, continuous integration, and source-driven development for collaborative team environments.
- Einstein AI: Built-in AI capabilities for insights and predictive analytics.
A Salesforce programmer customizes, integrates, and extends Salesforce applications to meet specific business needs. They build solutions within Salesforce, develop custom functionalities using Apex, design user interfaces with Visualforce and Lightning components, and integrate Salesforce with other platforms via APIs. They often collaborate with teams to ensure that CRM solutions align with broader business goals, providing technical solutions to improve customer relationships and internal workflows.
Salesforce developers can be categorized by their experience level:
- Junior Salesforce Developer: Entry-level developers who understand basic Salesforce configuration and use pre-built tools for customization. They support the team with simpler coding tasks and maintenance.
- Mid-Level Salesforce Developer: More experienced developers who handle custom development in Apex, manage integrations, and work with Lightning components. They are capable of independent project work and often support complex customization.
- Senior Salesforce Developer: Highly experienced developers who design application architecture, lead large-scale implementations, and optimize performance. They mentor junior team members and have expertise across Salesforce tools and frameworks.
Salesforce developers handle a range of tasks to maintain and enhance the Salesforce environment, including:
- Custom Development: Writing custom Apex code and Visualforce/Lightning components to meet specific business requirements.
- Platform Configuration: Managing and configuring Salesforce objects, workflows, and process automation tools.
- Integration: Connecting Salesforce with other business systems using REST/SOAP APIs for seamless data exchange.
- System Optimization: Monitoring system performance and making improvements to ensure scalability and security.
- Troubleshooting: Debugging and resolving technical issues as they arise, including data and performance challenges.
Key skills for a proficient Salesforce developer include:
- Proficiency in Apex and Visualforce: Strong command of Salesforce’s proprietary languages for backend development and customizations.
- Experience with Lightning Web Components: Ability to create responsive user interfaces within the Lightning framework.
- API Integration Skills: Knowledge of RESTful and SOAP APIs for integrating Salesforce with other platforms.
- Data Management: Skills in data migration, Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL), and best practices for data governance.
- Problem-Solving and Analytical Thinking: Aptitude for troubleshooting and optimizing workflows based on business needs.
Salesforce developers can be engaged in different ways depending on the company’s needs:
- Freelancers: Ideal for short-term projects or specialized customization work. Freelancers can offer flexibility and expertise, though they may require more oversight on complex, multi-faceted projects.
- In-House Engineers: In-house Salesforce engineers provide continuous support and develop deep familiarity with a company’s Salesforce ecosystem. They are best for companies with ongoing Salesforce development needs but come with higher hiring and operational costs.
- Outsourced Programmers: Outsourcing Salesforce developers through agencies or hiring marketplaces allows access to skilled professionals on an as-needed basis, often at a lower cost than full-time hires. Outsourced developers often work on specific tasks or complete projects but require careful coordination to align with the company’s goals and communication style.
An effective Salesforce job description should clearly outline the role’s technical requirements and give insight into the project and company culture.
Key elements to include:
- Job Title and Summary: Specify the role, such as “Salesforce Developer with Apex Expertise” or “Salesforce Integration Specialist.”
- Project and Role Overview: Describe the project scope, company goals, and how Salesforce will be used.
- Responsibilities: List primary tasks, including custom development, configuration, integration, and data management.
- Technical Skills Required: Mention Apex, Visualforce, Lightning Web Components, API integration, and any relevant certifications (e.g., Salesforce Certified Platform Developer).
- Company and Team Environment: Highlight cultural aspects, teamwork structure, and any growth opportunities or unique benefits.
Assessing a Salesforce developer’s hard skills is essential. Here are sample questions for a thorough evaluation:
- Apex Proficiency: “Can you describe a complex trigger you implemented in Apex and how you optimized it for performance?”
- Lightning Web Components: “Explain how you’d use Lightning Web Components to build a user-friendly dashboard for a sales team.”
- Data Management and SOQL: “How do you handle large data volumes in Salesforce, and what techniques do you use to optimize SOQL queries?”
- API Integration: “Describe a time when you integrated Salesforce with an external system. What challenges did you encounter, and how did you resolve them?”
- Custom Configuration: “What are your preferred approaches for managing custom objects and workflows to align with evolving business requirements?”

Reviews
“It's just much more convenient to find a small team. I talk to one person, get 5 hand-picked CVs, interview candidates, hire the best ones – and I’m done!”
“Every time YouTeam sends me a list of potential developers, I am confident that I can interview pretty much anybody and they will be a good candidate.”
“The decision to use YouTeam was made by comparing them directly to the other candidates. As soon as I started talking to them, YouTeam adopted a hands-on approach. Time-wise, YouTeam also performed well.”
“We will definitely continue with them in the future. I’m so happy with their work that I’ve recommended them to my other company as well. There were no issues, it was really good. I gave a very loose brief, and the developer who worked for me had enough initiative to tighten it up by asking relevant questions. There was no messing around—it was done really well, with good, clean code.”
“YouTeam was very quick and responsive. I was presented with great candidates in just days, which was fantastic for me because we were looking to move fast. They had experience working on similar projects to exactly what we needed.”
“We wanted to boost our capacity for a period of six to twelve months. I decided to get a shot with YouTeam is that in any other place I can't say that I'm looking for a team of 5 developers with the possibility to scale. Now I returned to them again - this time for the confidence. If somebody is on the YouTube platform, you know that they've met a certain threshold of customer satisfaction, they've got a history of successful work elsewhere.”
