About The Role

As a Salesforce Developer at Kantata, you’ll be responsible for the ongoing design, build, and maintenance of the application components that make up the Kantata SX solution. You’ll be part of a highly-agile team to support the market with new feature development, maintaining current builds, and working collaboratively with peers to solve interesting challenges in the market.

About The Opportunity

This unique, hands-on role involves working closely with the Kantata Product Management team to scope, plan, design, and develop new Kantata PSA features as part of a sprint-based delivery model. You’ll be influential on the team by owning, shaping, and developing functionality to satisfy the enhancements raised by our customers and features from our product backlog. Working cross-functionally, you’ll also investigate and resolve issues escalated from our client support team; identifying root cause and engineering fixes and changes, when needed.

Goals and Responsibilities

Owning aspects of our product solution, you’ll work on ensuring we can meet our ongoing commitment to customers to build and release innovative and engaging new features and enhancements. You’ll be supported by a mature and experienced development team and empowered to make large impacts in the hands-on development of our application. Ownership through each build is established with a full-stack focus and you’ll work exclusively with the Force.com platform and other Salesforce technologies, such as Visualforce, Lightning components, Apex and custom objects along with Javascript, HTML, and CSS.

• Contributing to Kantata’s patterns and practices within the Salesforce platform to deliver and maintain unique product features
• Delivering optimized features that can scale to the needs of our enterprise clients using efficient UI, Apex, and SOQL design
