[Hiring] CRM Senior Programmer Analyst @Illumina

Role Description

The Programmer Analyst is the builder-orchestrator; the person who turns solution designs into working, production-quality software, increasingly by specifying, directing, and rigorously verifying AI-generated code, not only by hand-writing every line. You will write Apex, build Lightning Web Components, design Flows, implement integrations, and deliver the features and enhancements that power Illumina’s Commercial and Services organizations on the Salesforce platform, working fluently with AI coding assistants while remaining fully accountable for the correctness, security, and quality of everything you ship.

You are responsible for the majority of hands-on delivery on the team, increasingly by directing and verifying AI-generated code, not only writing it by hand. You will work from solution designs provided by Solution Architects, under technical direction set by the Technical Architect, and in close collaboration with Test Automation Engineers who validate your work. You will produce clean, well-tested, secure code that meets Illumina’s engineering standards and scales to support a global organization, whether you typed it or an AI agent produced it, you own it.

This role operates within an Agile Scrum delivery model. You will participate in sprint planning and grooming alongside Product Owners, Solution Architects, Technical Architects, and TAEs. You will collaborate with TAEs to define test strategy for your features; quality is a shared responsibility, built into every sprint, not a handoff at the end.

As the Salesforce platform evolves with AI capabilities like Agentforce and Data Cloud (Data 360), you will build and implement these solutions alongside the rest of the engineering team. As AI takes on more first-pass implementation, your leverage shifts upstream, to clear specifications, strong tests, and disciplined review, and your judgment about what “good” looks like becomes the most valuable thing you bring.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience (Apex, LWC, Flows, and/or platform configuration).
• Experience writing Apex code; classes, triggers, unit tests, and SOQL/SOSL queries. Understanding of governor limits and bulkification patterns.
• Experience building Lightning Web Components or equivalent modern JavaScript-based UI components.
• Experience with Salesforce declarative automation; Flows, validation rules, and platform configuration.
• Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD practices for Salesforce deployments.
• Experience working in Agile Scrum delivery models.
• Experience with Salesforce integrations (REST APIs, Platform Events) is preferred.
• Experience with ServiceMax, Conga CPQ/CLM, Data Cloud, or Agentforce is a plus.
• Experience with regulated environments (HIPAA, FDA, SOX) is preferred.
• Certifications (Preferred): Foundation & Platform - Salesforce Administrator, Platform App Builder.
• Certifications (Preferred): Development & Specialization - Platform Developer I, Platform Developer II, Agentforce Specialist, Data Cloud (Data 360) Consultant.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Apex development; object-oriented programming, trigger patterns, SOQL/SOSL queries, DML operations, governor limits, and bulkification.
• Proficiency in Lightning Web Components; HTML, CSS, JavaScript, wire services, imperative Apex, event handling, and SLDS.
• Understanding of Salesforce declarative automation; Flows (record-triggered, screen, autolaunched), validation rules, and the order of execution.
• Understanding of the Salesforce data model, security model (profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, FLS), and multi-tenant architecture constraints.
• Working knowledge of Salesforce integration patterns; REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events, Change Data Capture, and named credentials.
• Familiarity with DevOps tooling; Git/GitHub, AutoRabit or Salesforce CLI for deployments, and CI/CD pipeline concepts.
• Awareness of Agentforce and Data Cloud (Data 360) concepts; willingness to learn and implement these evolving platform capabilities.
• Understanding of secure coding practices; CRUD/FLS checks, SOQL injection prevention, and XSS/CSRF protection.
• Fluency with AI-augmented engineering: agentic and spec-driven workflows, context and prompt engineering (rules files, Salesforce DX MCP, grounding), and critical verification of AI-generated code, using assistants such as Cursor, Agentforce Vibes, Claude, or ChatGPT Enterprise.

Benefits

• Invest in continuous learning; new Salesforce platform features, Agentforce capabilities, Data Cloud, and evolving development practices.
• Leverage AI coding assistants to accelerate development.
• Share knowledge with the team; through documentation, brown bags, code review discussions, and mentoring less experienced engineers.
• Pursue relevant Salesforce certifications to deepen platform expertise and validate skills.
