[Hiring] Salesforce Developer @Yoga Alliance

Role Description

Reporting to the Director of Digital Experience, Yoga Alliance is seeking a Salesforce Developer to join our team. Salesforce is the backbone of how we serve our members; it holds their critical information and powers credentialing, membership, and communications. This role will partner cross-functionally with internal teams and externally with the implementation partner to ensure the Salesforce environment is reliable and stable.

What You Will Do:

• Administration and Configuration
  • Own incident response during renewals, launches, and peak periods, making time-sensitive calls and coordinating fixes with the external partner when needed.
  • Manage users, profiles, permission sets, roles, and license assignments across the organization.
  • Build and maintain declarative automation with Flow, validation rules, and approval processes.
  • Configure objects, fields, page layouts, record types, and Lightning App pages.
  • Build and maintain CRM and operational reports and dashboards: membership records, case volume, renewals, and internal team dashboards.
  • Maintain data quality across records through deduplication, standardization, and ongoing hygiene.
  • Work through the support and enhancement backlog, prioritizing the highest-impact tickets first.
• Development
  • Write, test, and maintain Apex (triggers, classes, batch and scheduled jobs) where configuration alone is not enough.
  • Build Lightning Web Components for custom interfaces.
  • Build and configure member portal experiences on Experience Cloud within the product and UX direction set by the Director of Digital Experience.
  • Support and maintain the platform's integrations over REST and SOAP APIs: Absorb LMS (SSO enrollment and completion sync), Stripe and Blackthorn payments, Marketing Cloud journey triggers, and Pendo.
  • Write unit tests that meet Salesforce's 75% minimum, with higher coverage on business-critical logic.
  • Run deployments and sandbox refreshes following the release schedule and environment strategy set by the Director of Digital Experience and the external implementation partner.
• Collaboration and Delivery
  • Own user acceptance testing and post-launch stabilization across a launch-heavy roadmap, including participating in UAT cycles, triaging defects, and resolving the post-launch backlog after each release.
  • Translate defined business requirements into technical designs and build specifications, advising stakeholders on feasibility, effort, and tradeoffs.
  • Collaborate day-to-day with the external implementation partner on assigned development and release items, with the partner relationship and scoping staying with the Director of Digital Experience.
  • Document configuration, customizations, and decisions so the org stays maintainable.
  • Track Salesforce releases and adopt relevant features and best practices.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce experience across administration and development.
• Salesforce Administrator certification.
• Salesforce Platform App Builder certification.
• Salesforce Platform Developer I certification.
• Strong command of the Salesforce security model: profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, and organizational-wide defaults.
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Experience Cloud, Service Cloud, or Marketing Cloud
  • Declarative automation, especially Flow
  • Source control and deployment tooling: Salesforce DX, Git, and CI/CD
  • Coordinating work with external implementation or development partners
  • Working proficiency in Apex, SOQL/SOSL, and Lightning Web Components.
  • Familiarity with REST and SOAP API integrations.
• Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Strong project management skills with a proven track record of proactively managing expectations and ensuring consistent follow through and delivery.
• Demonstrated commitment to and experience advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging in the workplace or community settings.
• Curious and proactively scans the horizon to stay abreast of technology, creative approaches, and novel ideas to experiment, test, and apply.
• Ability to travel as needed to Yoga Alliance’s Arlington, VA office to participate in organizational meetings, trainings and retreats.

Desired Qualifications

• Salesforce Platform Developer II certification.
• Experience with credentialing or certification systems: renewals, application flows, and the underlying data model. Ideally at a membership organization, nonprofit, or association.
• Experience with data deduplication and data quality tooling within Salesforce.
• Familiarity with Agile or Scrum delivery.
• Experience coordinating work with external implementation or development partners.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health insurance plan offerings that are 100% employer paid for employees and 65% paid for dependents.
• A matching 401K plan.
