About this role
Samsara sells connected operations technology to the companies that run physical infrastructure: fleets, logistics, utilities and industrial sites. This role is inside its business technology function, building on Salesforce rather than on the product itself. You design and develop scalable solutions on the platform, analyse business processes to find inefficiencies, evaluate existing code and plan down the technical debt, and work across Sales, Customer Success, Product, Growth, Marketing and Finance. The stated purpose is blunt and useful: build tools that scale revenue generating operations and increase sales efficiency. Salesforce development is a genuine software engineering career with strong and durable demand in India, and at 4+ years with Apex, Visualforce and Lightning Web Components named explicitly, this posting is specific about what it wants rather than hiding behind a generic requirement list.
Who this is for
Required
- 4+ years of Salesforce development experience with extensive knowledge of Sales Cloud, Apex, Visualforce, Lightning Web Components and the Force platform.
- Understanding of Salesforce design and development best practices, and the ability to apply them to delivering business solutions.
- A combination of analytical, technical, business and communication skills. The posting calls this out directly, because the role works across many functions.
The day to day
- Designing and developing secure, scalable technical solutions on Salesforce.
- Analysing business processes and system implementations to identify inefficiencies and critical metrics.
- Evaluating existing code and developing plans to reduce technical debt over time.
- Working with technical and cross functional business teams to implement enhancements and projects, and to resolve incidents.
- Building tools that scale revenue generating operations and improve sales efficiency.
Location and working style
Bengaluru. The posting states this is a hybrid position requiring 2 days per week in the Bengaluru office, and states plainly that relocation assistance will not be provided for this role. If you are not already in Bengaluru or willing to move at your own cost, that second sentence matters.
Elsewhere the posting describes a flexible, employee led remote model and support for remote work where it aligns with operational requirements, which sits awkwardly beside the explicit two days per week line. Treat the two day requirement as the operative one, since it is the role specific statement.
Honest fit guidance
Salesforce development divides opinion among engineers, so decide honestly which side you are on. It is platform work, constrained by Salesforce's model and release cycle, and you will spend time on business process rather than pure computer science. Against that, it is well paid, in constant demand across India, and unusually portable between employers and industries.
This posting is stronger than most Salesforce listings because it names technical debt reduction and architecture as part of the job rather than only feature configuration, and because the internal customer is revenue operations at a company with real scale.
If you want Salesforce work with a different flavour, Okta has a Business Application Developer role on ServiceNow in this same edition at 3 to 5 years.
