What great Salesforce Developers look like
Great Salesforce developers use clicks before code, write bulk-safe Apex with good test coverage, respect governor limits and deploy through source control. They understand the business process behind each requirement and design solutions admins can maintain.
Questions we ask in technical interviews
- How do you make a trigger bulk-safe?
- When would you use a Flow instead of Apex?
- How do you design an integration within API limits?
- How do you deploy changes across sandboxes?
Typical projects for Salesforce Developers
- Org health checks and clean-up
- Migrating Process Builder to Flow
- Custom LWC components
- ERP and billing integrations
The first 30 days with a new Salesforce developer
Every engagement starts with a short, structured onboarding so you see useful output early and can judge fit quickly. A typical first month looks like this:
-
Week 1 — Org review
Reviews objects, automations, Apex, permissions and technical debt in a sandbox.
-
Week 2 — Fix
Resolves a known issue and adds test coverage for the affected Apex or Flow.
-
Week 3 — Improvement
Delivers a requested enhancement through your deployment process.
-
Week 4 — Plan
Recommends consolidating overlapping automations and cleaning up unused fields.
What to look for beyond the CV
Years of experience and a list of technologies say little about how someone works. In our screening and in your interviews, these are the signals that matter most:
- Knows when to use Flow and when Apex is cleaner
- Respects governor limits and bulkifies code
- Deploys through source control, not change sets alone
- Designs sharing and permissions carefully
- Explains platform limits clearly to business users
Developer or administrator?
Salesforce administrators configure; developers build custom logic, integrations and components. Many orgs need both. For larger CRM work, see CRM development and CRM migration.
Engagement options for Salesforce work
| Model | How it works | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Augmented developer | A Salesforce developer joins your admin or CRM team | You have an owner for the org and a prioritised backlog |
| Project team | Developer, admin and QA deliver a defined scope | You are building a new process, portal or integration |
| Org health check | A review of code, automation, security and technical debt | The org has grown organically and changes feel risky |
| Managed support | Monthly hours for enhancements, fixes and release updates | The org is stable but needs regular care |
For broader CRM projects, see Salesforce development and CRM integration.
Red flags when hiring Salesforce developers
- Writes SOQL queries or DML inside loops and has not dealt with governor limits
- Mixes several automation tools on the same object without a clear order of execution
- Deploys straight to production with change sets and no source control
- Writes tests only to reach coverage rather than to assert behaviour
- Overlooks sharing rules, field-level security and “with sharing” in Apex classes
- Builds custom code for things a declarative Flow or standard feature already handles
A sample brief for a Salesforce engagement
- Clouds and editions: Sales, Service, Experience Cloud or others, and your edition
- Current state: rough number of users, custom objects, Flows and Apex classes
- Integrations: ERP, marketing automation, telephony or data warehouse connections
- Release process: sandboxes in use, source control, DevOps Center or a third-party tool
- Priorities: the business processes to improve first and who signs them off
Tooling our Salesforce developers use
Certifications are worth asking about for each candidate; we share each developer’s current credentials with their profile.
Working safely in your Salesforce org
Salesforce orgs hold sensitive customer data and support daily operations, so we agree working rules before any change. Developers work in sandboxes or scratch orgs, with a profile or permission set that grants only what the work requires. Production access, if needed at all, is limited and logged.
Every change goes through source control and a pull request, even declarative changes such as Flows and page layouts where the metadata can be retrieved. Releases follow your change calendar and avoid month-end and quarter-end periods, when sales and finance teams depend most on the system. Each deployment has a short release note and a rollback plan.
Across time zones, we schedule deployments inside agreed overlap hours so your admin or system owner can verify the change with business users. Documentation of new objects, automation and integrations is kept in a shared space, so the org stays understandable to whoever maintains it next.
Finally, we agree how requests reach the developer. A single prioritised backlog, owned by your Salesforce admin or product owner, prevents ad-hoc requests from different departments competing with each other and keeps the org aligned with agreed business priorities rather than whoever asked most recently.
Every quarter, we also review the three Salesforce releases planned for the year and flag any changes that affect your customisations.
Ways to engage
| Model | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Full-time dedicated | 40 hours a week on your work | Ongoing product development |
| Part-time | 20 hours a week | Maintenance and smaller roadmaps |
| Team | Several specialists with a lead | New products and workstreams |
Rates depend on seniority and engagement length; you receive a written rate card within one business day. Prefer a managed project? See Salesforce development.
