Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and implement complex Salesforce features, including asynchronous solutions and external system integrations. Own code quality through technical design decisions, code reviews, and mentoring junior engineers.
Requires 4-6 years of software development experience with at least 2 years of hands-on Salesforce Apex development. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is required along with proficiency in a general-purpose programming language.
If you’re passionate about building a better future for individuals, communities, and our country—and you’re committed to working hard to play your part in building that future—consider WGU as the next step in your career.
Driven by a mission to expand access to higher education through online, competency-based degree programs, WGU is also committed to being a great place to work for a diverse workforce of student-focused professionals. The university has pioneered a new way to learn in the 21st century, one that has received praise from academic, industry, government, and media leaders. Whatever your role, working for WGU gives you a part to play in helping students graduate, creating a better tomorrow for themselves and their families.
The salary range for this position takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.
At WGU, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their position, and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is:
Design and implement complex features end-to-end (from requirements through deployment)
Architect async solutions (Batch, Queueable, Schedulable) from scratch — including retry logic, error handling, and transaction boundary management
Build and maintain integrations with external systems (Banner, ServiceNow, and others via REST/SOAP)
Design Platform Event and Change Data Capture patterns for decoupled processing
Own code quality for your team — drive reviews, test strategy, and technical debt conversations
Make technical design decisions within your team's scope without needing approval
Mentor SE I engineers through code reviews, pairing, and design discussions
Troubleshoot complex cross-system issues (tracing failures through async handoffs and integration boundaries)
Build custom LWC components for internal tools and Experience Cloud
Drive improvements to the team's Copado pipeline (quality gates, conflict resolution, environment strategy)
4–6 years of software development experience, with at least 2 years of hands-on Salesforce development with significant Apex experience
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field
Strong command of async Apex patterns — you've designed Batch/Queueable/Schedulable jobs, not just modified them
Experience building REST integrations (inbound and outbound) with proper error handling
Understanding of Platform Events or Change Data Capture
Proficiency in SOQL optimization (selective queries, relationship queries, aggregate patterns)
Experience with LWC development (composition patterns, Jest testing)
Track record of owning code quality (leading reviews, establishing test patterns)
Ability to make and defend technical design decisions
Proficiency in at least one general-purpose language beyond Apex (Java, TypeScript, Python, or C#)
Experience with software design patterns (Repository, Factory, Strategy, Observer) applied in any language — not just Salesforce-specific implementations
Understanding of event-driven architecture concepts independent of Salesforce Platform Events (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SNS/SQS, or similar)
Experience with API design principles (RESTful conventions, versioning, error contracts) beyond just "making callouts work"
Preferred:
Salesforce Platform Developer II certification (strong signal)
Experience with Copado (promotions, quality gates, conflict resolution)
Experience integrating Salesforce with ERP/SIS systems (Banner, PeopleSoft, or similar)
Experience with Kafka, MuleSoft, or other middleware/event streaming platforms
JavaScript Developer I certification
Experience mentoring other engineers
Experience with a modern web framework outside Salesforce (React, Angular, Vue, NestJS)
Exposure to cloud services (AWS, GCP, or Azure) — even at a conceptual level
Experience with containerization or microservice patterns
Designing and shipping an async solution (Batch or Queueable pattern) from scratch
Owning an integration feature end-to-end (design → build → test → deploy → monitor)
Becoming the person your team goes to when stuck on complex Apex or governor limit issues
Identifying and resolving at least one systemic quality issue (recurring bug pattern, test gap, performance bottleneck)
How to Apply: If interested, an application will need to be submitted online. Internal WGU employees will need to apply through the internal job board in Workday.
