Salesforce Developer Jobs in Illinois

As Homelink’s Salesforce Developer, you will be the primary technical owner of our Salesforce platform, which supports our insurance housing claims operations.

• Design and maintain scalable data models and processes for large data volumes, including archival strategies such as Big Objects.
• Design, build, and maintain AI-enabled solutions on the Salesforce platform, such as Agentforce agents, Prompt Builder templates, and LLM-backed Apex or Flow automations, in partnership with business stakeholders.
• Govern how AI tools and agents access Salesforce data, including permissions, data masking, and auditability, with particular care for policyholder and claims data.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining code review, testing, and documentation standards.
• Triage, diagnose, and resolve bug reports and production issues, and participate in on-call support as scheduled.
• Identify technical debt, including legacy automation such as Process Builder and Workflow Rules, and recommend and prioritize long-term remediation.
• Translate business requirements from stakeholders and the Business Analyst into technical designs, and maintain clear technical documentation of the org.
