Help Power the Systems Behind Extraordinary Travel Experiences
Location: Remote
Vacatia is reinventing the vacation ownership and rental experience across discovery, booking, and stay. Behind the scenes, Salesforce plays a critical role in powering the teams, workflows, and customer experiences that make it all possible.
We’re looking for a Senior Salesforce Administrator who knows how to balance flexibility, scalability, and — importantly — sanity. In this role, you’ll own and evolve our Salesforce environment, partner closely with business stakeholders, and help ensure the platform remains intuitive, secure, scalable, and sustainable as Vacatia continues to grow.
You’ll be a trusted Salesforce subject matter expert, advocate for platform best practices, and a thoughtful partner who can translate business needs into solutions without creating unnecessary complexity.
Why You’ll Love Working at Vacatia
- Own a critical platform — Play a key role in shaping the Salesforce environment that supports our growing business.
- Make an impact — Your work will directly influence how teams operate, collaborate, and serve our customers.
- Balance innovation with practicality — Bring new ideas to the table while protecting the long-term health of the platform.
- Work with great people — Partner across technology and business teams to solve meaningful problems.
- Keep learning — Participate in the Salesforce ecosystem through Trailblazer communities, Dreamforce, certifications, and ongoing development.
- Protect the admin role — Join a team that understands that good administration means knowing when to build, when to simplify, and when to push back.

- Serve as the Salesforce SME and primary owner of our Service Cloud Voice with AWS Connect telephony environment.
- Maintain platform usability while balancing immediate business needs with long-term scalability and maintainability.
- Thoughtfully push back when a proposed solution creates unnecessary complexity — even when someone insists their 47-field page layout is “absolutely necessary.”
Automation & Data Management
- Build and maintain robust automation using Flow Builder, including screen flows and scheduled flows.
- Manage data imports, updates, transformations, and integrity using Data Loader, Import Wizard, and ETL tools.
- Establish and maintain data quality and governance standards across the Salesforce environment.
- Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and improve operational efficiency.
Security & Access Control

- Lead and advocate for best practices around transitioning from profile-heavy access models to permission-set-driven access.
- Ensure users have the access they need while protecting sensitive information and maintaining appropriate governance.
- Help establish scalable access-control practices as the organization grows.

- Own and support Salesforce Service Cloud Voice integrated with AWS Connect.
- Configure and troubleshoot telephony functionality within Salesforce.
- Support Unified Routing and skill-based Omni-Channel routing.
- Troubleshoot call flows, routing, telephony integrations, and related user issues.
- Partner with stakeholders to continuously improve the customer and agent experience.
Continuous Improvement
- Stay current on Salesforce releases and evaluate new capabilities for potential adoption.
- Proactively identify opportunities to streamline processes, eliminate technical debt, and improve the user experience.
- Support Salesforce ecosystem participation through Trailblazer groups, Dreamforce, community learning, and other professional development opportunities.
- Collaborate with technical teams on development practices, including Git and GitHub.

- Experience with AWS Connect Call Center technology and Unified Routing.
- Experience with skill-based Omni-Channel routing within Service Cloud Voice.
- Experience troubleshooting telephony functionality within Salesforce.
- Experience with, or willingness to become proficient in, Git and GitHub.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Salesforce Developer
Target Salesforce ISV partners and consulting firms first
Independent software vendors and Salesforce consulting partners sponsor H-1B visas regularly and at higher rates than general employers. These firms build their entire business on Salesforce talent and are experienced with the sponsorship process.
Get Salesforce certifications before applying
Platform App Builder, Salesforce Developer I, and Salesforce Developer II certifications directly strengthen your specialty occupation case. They signal domain expertise and make it easier for employers to justify sponsorship to immigration counsel.
Emphasize your degree's relevance to the role
USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree field aligns with the Salesforce Developer position. Computer science, information systems, and software engineering degrees map cleanly. If yours is adjacent, document how your coursework supports the role.
Apply to companies with a track record of H-1B approvals
Employers who have previously sponsored Salesforce Developers have established workflows with immigration attorneys and approved LCA templates. This significantly reduces delays and the risk of a request for evidence slowing your start date.
Understand the cap-exempt route if you qualify
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and affiliated entities are cap-exempt H-1B sponsors. Salesforce Developers in higher education or research settings can file anytime, bypassing the lottery entirely and starting within a matter of weeks.
Start the LCA process as early as possible with your employer
The Labor Condition Application must be certified by the Department of Labor before the H-1B petition is filed. Employers new to sponsorship often underestimate this step. Raising it early in negotiations prevents costly delays before your intended start date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Salesforce Developer recognized as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. Salesforce Developer is well-established as a specialty occupation under H-1B visa rules. USCIS consistently recognizes the role as requiring at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical field. Approval rates for software development roles are strong, provided the degree-to-job alignment is documented clearly in the petition.
Does my employer need prior H-1B experience to sponsor me as a Salesforce Developer?
No, any U.S. employer can file an H-1B petition regardless of prior sponsorship history. That said, employers who have previously sponsored Salesforce Developers move faster and make fewer errors. If your prospective employer is new to sponsorship, suggest they engage an experienced immigration attorney early. You can find sponsorship-open Salesforce Developer roles on Migrate Mate.
What degree do I need to qualify for H-1B sponsorship as a Salesforce Developer?
You need a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a closely related field. Degrees in business information technology or management information systems can qualify if paired with a role description that emphasizes technical Salesforce development work. If your degree is in an unrelated field, three years of relevant experience can substitute for each missing year of education.
Will Salesforce-specific certifications help my H-1B petition get approved?
Certifications like Salesforce Platform Developer I and II strengthen the specialty occupation argument but don't replace a qualifying degree. Where they genuinely help is in a request for evidence response, where USCIS questions whether the role requires a degree. Certifications corroborate that the work demands specialized knowledge. They also make the employer's business need easier for immigration attorneys to articulate.
Are there visa options for Salesforce Developers who don't win the H-1B lottery?
Yes. Australian citizens can pursue the E-3 visa, which has no lottery. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify under the TN visa for computer systems analyst roles. If you have extraordinary ability or peer recognition in the Salesforce ecosystem, the O-1A is another path. Cap-exempt H-1B sponsorship through universities or nonprofits is also worth exploring if you can find a qualifying employer.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Salesforce Developer jobs?
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.
