This isn't a cloud-specific or module-specific role. The focus is on platform health, code quality, scalable architecture, and engineering best practices across whatever clouds and features the org uses today or adopts tomorrow. Exposure to AI-driven capabilities within the Salesforce ecosystem is a valuable bonus.\nWe need someone who treats the Salesforce platform like a product - not a project. Someone who looks at a cluttered org and sees a roadmap, not a disaster. You’ll work hands-on with the team to untangle, optimize, and future-proof our Salesforce environment so it scales with the business.\nKeysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.\nOur award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.\nResponsibilities\nRoles & Responsibilities\nPlatform Optimization & Org Health\nHunt down technical debt - dead automations, bloated triggers, redundant fields, and queries that scan half the database for one record.\nAudit and rationalize automations into a single, sane framework. No more “which of the five automations on this object actually fires first?” mysteries.\nMonitor org health proactively - governor limits, storage, API consumption, deployment stability - using Salesforce Optimizer, Event Monitoring, and custom dashboards you build yourself.\nDevelopment & Code Quality\nBuild production-grade Apex - bulkified, governor-limit-aware, single-trigger-per-object, with proper separation of concerns (service/selector/domain layers).\nDevelop Lightning Web Components that are reusable, accessible\nHold the quality bar in code reviews - meaningful test assertions (not just coverage farming), no hardcoded IDs, clean error handling, sensible naming.\nOwn and improve the CI/CD pipeline - scratch orgs, source-driven development, automated test gates, and deployments that don’t need a war room.\nIntegration & Data Management\nDesign and maintain integrations via REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture - with proper retry logic, error handling, and idempotency.\nChampion data quality - deduplication strategies, validation rules that actually help, and migration practices that don’t create a cleanup project of their own.\nTroubleshoot sync failures and API limit issues across connected systems before they become someone’s escalation.\nCollaboration & Best Practices Enablement\nDefine and document development standards and best practices - then make sure the team actually follows them.\nMentor junior developers through pairing, reviews, and knowledge sharing - not lectures.\nEvaluate every Salesforce release (three per year) for features worth adopting and deprecations worth addressing.\nHelp the team make smart clicks-vs-code decisions so the org stays maintainable as it grows.\nQualifications\nCore Technical Skills - Must Have\nDeep hands-on skills in Apex, SOQL/SOSL, LWC, and enough Visualforce knowledge to maintain legacy components.\nStrong JavaScript/ES6+, HTML, and CSS fundamentals.\nExpertise in Salesforce’s security architecture - profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, FLS, OWDs, role hierarchy.\nSolid Git workflow habits - branching, pull requests, merge conflict resolution.\nProficiency with Salesforce CLI, scratch orgs, metadata API, and at least one CI/CD tool (GitHub Actions, Copado, Gearset).\nSharp debugging instincts - Debug Logs, Query Plan tool, Limit monitoring, and the patience to trace a bug through five layers of automation.\nFamiliarity with data migration/ETL tools - Data Loader, Dataloader.io, or equivalent.\nComfortable in Agile/Scrum rhythms without needing a ceremony for every decision.\nGood to have AI Exposure\nUnderstanding of AI/ML fundamentals - supervised vs unsupervised learning, model training, evaluation metrics, and data pipelines.\nExposure to Large Language Models (LLMs) - prompt engineering, fine-tuning concepts, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and API-based integrations.\nFamiliarity with generative AI use cases in enterprise contexts - summarization, classification, content generation, conversational bots, and intelligent search.\nExperience using AI-assisted development tools for code generation, test scaffolding, or automated code review.\nBasic comfort with Python or similar languages for scripting AI/ML workflows, data wrangling, or prototyping.\nAwareness of responsible AI principles - bias, explainability, data privacy, and governance considerations.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.\n5-8 years of hands-on Salesforce platform development - cloud-agnostic, problem-first.\nActive Salesforce certifications preferred - Platform Developer I/II, Application Architect, System Architect, or any specialist certification.\nClear communicator who can explain a complex technical tradeoff to a business stakeholder without their eyes glazing over.\nCareers Privacy Statement ***Keysight is an Equal Opportunity Employer.***\nRoles & Responsibilities\nPlatform Optimization & Org Health\nHunt down technical debt - dead automations, bloated triggers, redundant fields, and queries that scan half the database for one record.\nAudit and rationalize automations into a single, sane framework.
