Development * Write, test, and maintain Apex (triggers, classes, batch and scheduled jobs) where configuration alone is not enough. * Build Lightning Web Components for custom interfaces. * Build and configure member portal experiences on Experience Cloud within the product and UX direction set by the Director of Digital Experience. * Support and maintain the platform's integrations over REST and SOAP APIs: Absorb LMS (SSO enrollment and completion sync), Stripe and Blackthorn payments, Marketing Cloud journey triggers, and Pendo. * Write unit tests that meet Salesforce's 75% minimum, with higher coverage on business-critical logic. * Run deployments and sandbox refreshes following the release schedule and environment strategy set by the Director of Digital Experience and the external implementation partner.
