• Define and enforce coding standards, including CI/CD practices, code reviews, and unit testing.

• Mentor developers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.

• Manage integrations with external systems using Salesforce-native integration patterns.

• Proactively monitor and troubleshoot technical issues, driving root-cause analysis and preventive improvements.

• Strong proficiency in Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Visualforce, SOQL/SOSL, and Salesforce development frameworks.

• Solid experience with REST / SOAP APIs and middleware integrations.

• Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, Git-based version control, and Salesforce DevOps practices (e.g., Copado, Gearset, or AutoRABIT).

• Experience in refactoring legacy automations (workflow rules, process builder, triggers) into modern solutions.

• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and backlog management tools (e.g., Jira).

• Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and reusable design patterns.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to influence both technical and business stakeholders.

A proven low-code foundation combined with agentic AI and AI app generation capabilities empowers teams to move up to 10x faster with the assurance of security, scalability, and governance built in.

As the future becomes agentic, our customers need us now more than ever. AI has opened the door to extraordinary possibilities—but inside the enterprise, things are moving fast and feeling chaotic. Some early adopters are making progress in production, but for many, AI tools are sprawling without governance, data isn’t ready, and talent isn’t there yet. Enterprises are still drowning in application backlogs and struggling with legacy systems. But with the right platform, AI doesn’t have to add to the chaos. It can become the breakthrough that brings clarity—and drives real, enterprise-wide impact. At OutSystems, we’ve built that platform, providing the tools necessary for enterprises to overcome these hurdles.

We are looking for passionate, talented, and motivated people to join us in helping our customers build, deploy, and scale apps and agents—fast, helping them accelerate innovation while enabling secure, governed human-AI collaboration.
