Salesforce Automation Developer

Overview:
JAREN is an automation system reducing admin overhead in sales and renewals by connecting APIs, emails, and AI parsing. The current prototype is in Google Apps Script and being migrated into a structured Salesforce-centric environment (Flows, Apex, LWC, or less optimally Node.js connectors).

You will work directly with the founder to port, extend, and secure integrations between Salesforce, Outlook 365, and vendor systems. Expect daily async check-ins (Loom + WhatsApp) and live pair sessions to debug and ship code.

Role:
You’ll translate a working prototype into production-grade, maintainable automation. You’ll handle authentication, data flow, and connector builds while ensuring auditability and performance. You must be self-sufficient in environment setup (Salesforce Dev Edition, sandbox, basic OpenAI keys etc, and test Microsoft mailboxes) and demonstrate clear communication when blocked.

Key Responsibilities:

• Read and refactor existing Google Apps Script logic.
• Rebuild automation in Salesforce (Flows, Apex, or LWC; less preferably Node.js)
• Set up and document dev/test environments (Salesforce, OpenAI API, Outlook).
• Integrate and debug APIs: Salesforce REST/SOQL, Microsoft Graph, Google APIs.
• Manage OAuth2, service principals, and key rotation securely.
• Record concise Loom walkthroughs of progress and issues.
• Participate in short video/pair sessions for code review and live debugging.
• Write clear commit messages and minimal documentation for handover.
   

Requirements:

• JavaScript/TypeScript or Apex development experience.
• Proven ability to migrate existing logic to structured codebases.
• Hands-on Salesforce API experience (including REST/OAuth2/SOQL).
• Familiarity with Microsoft Graph (mail/attachment handling).
• Fluent English and proactive communication on progress or blockers.
• Reliable internet and camera for live sessions.
• Willingness to sign NDA before starting.
   

Preferred:

• Salesforce CPQ or Revenue Ops background.
• Azure VM / CI/CD familiarity.
• Experience embedding LLM or OpenAI API automations.
• 
  Demonstrated use of AI IDEs (Cursor, Copilot, Cody) for productivity.

Engagement Terms:

• Remote hourly contract (10-hour paid trial).
• May extend to monthly retainer on successful delivery.
• Either party may terminate early if quality or communication standards fall short.
• Pre-Kickoff Walkthrough - before start, the contractor must talk walkthrough code/setup of a similar project (can be anonymised or sandbox). Required to confirm technical fit!!!
