You'll be at the forefront of Salesforce's internal digital transformation, working on high-visibility initiatives that demonstrate the full potential of the Salesforce platform to both internal stakeholders and the broader customer ecosystem.
As a Senior member of Technical Staff, you'll play a critical role in building and maintaining the Salesforce platform that powers our business operations and customer experiences.

This role offers the opportunity to make tangible business impact while growing your expertise in enterprise Salesforce development and emerging AI technologies.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- Lead the technical design and implementation of production-ready applications on the Salesforce platform, balancing rapid delivery with reliability, maintainability, security, and scale.
- Own complex features through requirements analysis, architecture, development, code review, automated testing, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing support.
- Build reusable components and services that improve employee lifecycle experiences and support evolving business processes.
- Design and maintain robust integrations with upstream and downstream systems using REST, SOAP, GraphQL, event-driven, batch, and real-time patterns.
- Assess the end-to-end impact of new requirements across Salesforce, enterprise data models, dependent applications, and operational processes.
- Partner with product managers, engineering leaders, architects, and cross-functional teams to define scope, make sound tradeoffs, and deliver high-quality solutions.
- Use AI development tools responsibly for code exploration, prototyping, test generation, refactoring, documentation, and troubleshooting; review generated output for correctness and risk before adoption.
- Develop comprehensive unit, integration, regression, functional, and smoke tests, and integrate quality controls into CI and CD workflows.
- Troubleshoot production issues, identify root causes, and improve performance, scalability, availability, fault tolerance, telemetry, monitoring, and analytics.
- Raise team capability through thoughtful code reviews, technical mentoring, standards, documentation, and knowledge sharing across geographies.
- Track Salesforce releases and emerging technologies, including Agentforce and Prompt Builder, and recommend improvements that advance the platform responsibly.
You’re Our Person If…
- Typically 5 to 7 years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of production systems and complex technical features.
- A related technical degree is required.
- Strong computer science fundamentals and proficiency in one or more relevant languages, such as Java, JavaScript or TypeScript, Apex, Python, Go, C# or .NET.
- Experience designing APIs and integrations with REST, SOAP, GraphQL, middleware, and asynchronous or event-driven architectures.
- Strong front-end fundamentals with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript or TypeScript, and component-based UI development.
- Experience with relational data modeling and database technologies, including SQL or SOQL; familiarity with platforms such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server.
- A track record of writing clean, testable code and building unit, integration, regression, service, and UI test suites.
- Experience with Git-based development, modern IDEs, CI and CD tooling, release management, and production monitoring.
- Experience delivering software on public cloud or SaaS platforms, such as Salesforce, AWS, or Google Cloud.
- Sound judgment when reviewing AI-generated code for correctness, performance, security, privacy, licensing, and maintainability.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and collaborate across organizational boundaries.
- Hands-on Salesforce development experience with Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL, SOSL, DML, governor limits, and modern platform patterns; familiarity with Aura or Visualforce is useful for existing applications.
Even Better If…
- Experience with Salesforce Developer Experience, scratch orgs, CLI tools, managed or unlocked packages, or AppExchange development.
- Experience building Agentforce agents and actions, or MCP tools for production workflows.
- Integration experience with enterprise platforms such as Workday, Slack, MuleSoft, or other employee and business systems.
- Experience establishing non-functional requirements for security, scalability, availability, observability, compliance, and fault tolerance.
- Knowledge of data-modeling practices, contributions to open source, or relevant Salesforce, Java, or cloud certifications.
- Experience working in Agile or Scrum teams and adapting delivery practices to changing business and technical needs.

Search Software Developer Jobs in IndianaSoftware Developer Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for software developers in Indiana?
Several large Indiana employers have established H-1B visa sponsorship track records for software developer roles. Salesforce, Eli Lilly, Cummins, and Anthem (now Elevance Health) have all appeared in Department of Labor disclosure data with certified Labor Condition Applications for software positions. Smaller Indianapolis-based technology and healthtech firms also sponsor, though less frequently and often on a case-by-case basis depending on the role.
Which visa types are most common for software developer roles in Indiana?
The H-1B is the most common visa for software developers in Indiana, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Candidates already holding L-1 visas through multinational transfers also fill software roles at companies like Salesforce and Cummins. Australians may find E-3 visa sponsorship available at larger Indiana employers familiar with that category.
Which cities in Indiana have the most software developer sponsorship jobs?
Indianapolis accounts for the large majority of software developer visa sponsorship activity in Indiana, driven by its concentration of corporate headquarters, healthtech companies, and financial services firms. Bloomington sees sponsorship tied to Indiana University's tech ecosystem, while West Lafayette benefits from Purdue University's proximity and the technology companies that cluster around it. Fort Wayne has a smaller but growing software employer base.
How to find software developer visa sponsorship jobs in Indiana?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers looking for visa sponsorship roles, including software developer positions in Indiana. You can filter by state and role to see employers actively hiring and sponsoring in Indiana. This saves significant time compared to manually researching which Indiana companies have sponsored visas in the past, as Migrate Mate surfaces that information directly alongside current job listings.
Are there state-specific considerations for software developers seeking visa sponsorship in Indiana?
Indiana does not have a state-level visa program, so sponsorship follows standard federal H-1B and other nonimmigrant visa processes. However, Indiana's lower cost of living compared to coastal tech hubs means prevailing wage requirements for software developer roles are generally set at Midwest regional levels by the Department of Labor, which can make sponsorship more accessible for some employers. University-affiliated research roles at Purdue or IU may also fall under cap-exempt H-1B sponsorship.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored software developer jobs in Indiana?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
