Job description
We're not looking for a Salesforce developer. Well actually we are, but we don't expect to find any. That's because there is a major skills shortage in this very fast growing segment of the software industry. That shortage is your opportunity to make a move from traditional development to building apps on the world's #1 cloud platform.
We're looking for ambitious and open minded developers. Ambitious: so that you can take advantage of learning a new skillset and becoming one of the most sought after specialists in the world. Open minded: because many will say building software on the Force.com platform is not real development or that it is proprietary.
Yes, in general we avoid writing code whenever we can, but when we reach the limits of the declarative development tools we turn to the power of the underlying object-oriented programming languages (Apex, VisualForce and SOQL) combined with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. We build complex bi-directional integrations using REST (and SOAP when we have no choice).
Desired Skills and Experience
Don’t worry, if you can code in C++, C# or Java you're 90% of the way to being proficient in apex. If you know SQL, then SOQL is a breeze (and more powerful). The real skills we need are not language or technology dependent - those things come and go over time, but what really counts are your skills such as:
- Problem solving, critical thinking and innovation
- System and database design
- Ability to work alone and/or in small focussed teams
- Belief that good code not only works, but is elegant and artful
- Customer service orientation
- Great OO skills
Oh, and chances are that you enjoy playing computer games (most serious developers do).
Becoming a CloudSmith is more than getting a job. We're a tight knit team. We work hard. We play hard. We love what we do.
