What Does a Salesforce Developer Do?
A Salesforce developer builds on top of the Salesforce platform: custom objects and flows, Apex code, Lightning components, and integrations with the rest of a company's systems. They turn a generic CRM into something that matches how a specific business actually sells.
Salesforce skills are consistently in demand and command strong pay, and the work is entirely cloud-based — one of the most reliably remote specialisations in enterprise software.
