As a Salesforce Developer in the Communications and Corporate Responsibility (CCRR) Ops & Tech organization, you will work in a fast-paced technical team solving complex problems with significant greenfield opportunities. Each new team member has the opportunity to shape the way the team operates. Our team works across several core initiatives, ranging from helping internal customers better access and understand the impact of Amazon's communications efforts across the globe, to building and owning Amazon's largest public-facing information platform.
We are looking for a developer who wants to join a team developing and maintaining Salesforce applications that support editorial workflows and content delivery. You should be a seasoned Salesforce developer with experience designing/building products at meaningful scale, and be comfortable owning end-to-end deliverables. This is a role where initiatives frequently move quickly from limited customer interaction to immediate, significant usage.
You'll be a leading voice in our team for reviewing peer design and code. You'll be actively encouraged to experiment, improve, invent, and innovate on behalf of our customers. An ideal candidate will operate at all levels, diving deep into architectural details while providing strategic inputs for our products. A typical day will range from writing and reviewing code to participating in product feedback sessions with directors and vice presidents.
The ideal candidate is passionate about new opportunities and has a strong track record of successfully leading and delivering new features/products. Creating reliable, scalable, and high-performance products requires exceptional technical expertise, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of Salesforce, and practical experience building scalable solutions. This person thrives on delivering high-quality technology solutions in a hyper-growth environment.
Key job responsibilities
- Own key technical aspects of the Salesforce platform, including Lightning Web Components, and apex triggers
- Responsible for developing in Apex, Visualforce, Lightning, Java, and other technologies to build customized solutions that support business requirements and drive key business decisions
- Perform technical analysis, level-of-effort estimation, design, development, implementation of applications with necessary customizations and integration
- Support across systems and related integrations native to the SFDC ecosystem
- Troubleshoot and fix defects for planned releases and production issues
- Research and find opportunities to utilize SFDC best practices, guidelines to improve system productivity, scaling and monitoring
A day in the life
You are building the tools that act as the backbone of a global, highly influential, and impactful organization. The products you create enable the Communications & Corporate Responsibility team to operate, helping employees do everything from publishing company stories that reach millions of customers to storing sensitive information that needs to be easily and quickly accessed at the right moments.
As part of this mostly internal-facing org, you'll have a relatively predictable ops load and stable roadmap that allows for more time spent building new products than maintaining existing ones. Because of the high impact of the org, you'll also have frequent Director, VP, and S-Team level exposure for the work you own.
About the team
The team you're joining is highly technical and ambitious, and sits in an org that's broadly non-technical. This means you have unique opportunities to look around corners on behalf of customers, build rapidly, and learn about Amazonian functions that aren't common in other parts of the company.
We've built our team from scratch over the past two years, and the culture is a point of pride. We emphasize career development, and we care about finding ways to deliver quickly without becoming a team that burns out employees with fire drills and constantly pivoting priorities.
