Job Description & Details
Honestly, this is a senior‑level Salesforce gig at UST Global, based in Westchester, IL. They want a veteran who can own end‑to‑end development on Sales, Service or Experience Cloud and keep the integration pipelines humming. If you enjoy digging into Apex, LWC and complex API glue, this contract will keep you busy for at least half a year.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You’ll be the go‑to person for building and maintaining custom Salesforce solutions. Expect to write Apex classes and triggers, craft Lightning Web Components, and tweak Visualforce pages when the UI needs a quick fix. A big chunk of the time will be spent wiring Salesforce to external services via REST/SOAP APIs or Platform Events, and you’ll also be fine‑tuning Flows, Process Builder and Workflow Rules to automate business processes. Debugging will be relentless—tracking down governor limit hits, data‑skew issues, and security‑model quirks will be part of the daily grind.
The Core Tech Stack
The role lives and breathes Apex and LWC; you must be comfortable writing bulkified code, unit tests, and handling async patterns like Queueable or Future methods. The team relies heavily on the Salesforce data model and security hierarchy, so a deep understanding of sharing rules, field‑level security, and CRUD/FLS checks is non‑negotiable. Integration work means you’ll be consuming and exposing REST/SOAP endpoints, often orchestrated through Middleware, so experience with API authentication (OAuth, JWT) and error handling is essential. They also expect you to be familiar with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and basic DevOps concepts to push changes safely.
Interview Expectations
- Explain how you would design a bulk‑safe Apex trigger that updates related child records while staying under governor limits. The interviewer wants to see your thought process around trigger frameworks, bulkification, and efficient SOQL/DML usage. 2. Walk through a real‑world scenario where you integrated Salesforce with an external ERP using Platform Events. They’re looking for depth on event publishing/subscribing, message ordering, replay‑id handling, and why you’d pick Platform Events over a classic REST call.
Application Advice
Tailor your resume to echo the exact terminology from the JD: “Apex Programming”, “Lightning Web Components”, “SOQL & SOSL”, “Salesforce APIs (REST/SOAP)”, “Flows and Process Automation”, and “Git/CI‑CD”. Highlight any 10+ year track record of end‑to‑end Salesforce implementations, especially on Sales/Service/Experience Cloud. If you’ve built integrations with middleware or used Platform Events, put those projects front‑and‑center. A concise bullet that quantifies impact (e.g., “Reduced integration latency by 30% via async REST calls”) will help you cut through the ATS and catch the hiring manager’s eye.
