Senior Salesforce Developer
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TEAM MEMBER WITH GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERIENCE (LOCAL / TRIBAL / STATE / FEDERAL). IF YOU HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE IN ADDITION TO SALESFORCE SKILLS, PLEASE ENSURE IT IS CLEAR ON YOUR RESUME.
What do we mean by governmental public health? We're looking for people who have worked directly for a public health agency: a local health department, tribal health organization, state health department, or federal public health agency like CDC or HRSA. We require this because there's no substitute for the lived experience of navigating government systems, understanding the constraints public health staff face, and developing genuine empathy for the people doing this work. That empathy shapes how we build solutions.
Compensation Note: If a salary range is listed for this position, please note that we will be offering at the starting point of the band. We cover 100% of your health insurance!
Role Overview
We're seeking a Senior Salesforce Developer who combines strong technical expertise with a deep understanding of public health operations. You'll lead development efforts on complex implementations, mentor junior developers, and help shape the technical direction of solutions that serve health departments nationwide.
This role is about building technology that fits how public health actually operates. Your background in public health means you can anticipate needs before they're articulated, push back on designs that won't work in practice, and advocate for the end users who will rely on what you build. You won't just execute on requirements. You'll help define what the right solution looks like.
You'll be part of a collaborative team working on our PH360 platform and client implementations. You'll work alongside architects to make technical decisions, guide junior developers in their growth, and bring your public health perspective to every design conversation. We're looking for someone who wants to build systems that genuinely make public health work better.
If you've ever been frustrated by technology that didn't fit the reality of public health work, this is your chance to build it right.

Program Increment (PI) Planning: You'll participate in quarterly planning sessions, helping shape the technical roadmap and contributing your public health perspective
Sprint Collaboration: You'll work in two-week sprints with daily standups, regular backlog refinement, and sprint retrospectives
Technical Leadership: You'll guide technical decisions within your team and help junior developers grow their skills
Cross-functional Partnership: You'll work closely with solutions analysts, architects, and QA to ensure what we build truly serves our clients
