Company Overview:
Lightspeed is the leading provider of cloud-based software for dealerships, serving the Powersport, Marine, RV, Trailer, and Golf Car industries adding hundreds of dealerships to the Lightspeed community each year. Lightspeed’s Dealer Management Solution (DMS) enables dealerships to optimize their end-to-end business operations, including Sales, Parts, Service, Rentals, Payments, Accounting, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). When implemented into their daily operations, Lightspeed helps dealers increase their profitability by selling more units, service, and parts, all while creating a more streamlined experience for customers. Lightspeed is the most complete and integrated DMS in the industry with over 500 integrations with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), aftermarket parts and accessory distributors and dozens of other software tools that a dealership may use to run their business. Uniquely designed by dealers for dealers, and refined over the past 4 decades, Lightspeed empowers over 4,500+ dealers across North America with the tools and technology they need to manage their dealerships.
As a Salesforce Developer, you will be a key technical contributor responsible for designing, building, and maintaining custom solutions within our Salesforce org. You will partner with Revenue Operations, Customer Success, Finance, and Product teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical implementations — spanning custom Apex development, Flow automation, and integrations across our DMS ecosystem. Your work will directly shape our ability to deliver exceptional customer experiences, support subscription and contract lifecycle management, and drive operational excellence as Lightspeed continues its growth trajectory. This is both a developer and a systems-ownership role: you will not just build features but be accountable for the health, performance, and governance of our Salesforce environment.
What You’ll Do:
Design, develop, test, and deploy custom Apex classes, triggers, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and Aura components to meet evolving business needs.
Build and maintain scalable automation using Flow Builder, Process Builder, and Workflow Rules, with a preference for declarative solutions where appropriate.
Participate in Agile development cycles, contributing to sprint planning, code reviews, and
release management.
Implement and maintain deployment pipelines using Salesforce DX, GitHub, and CI/CD
frameworks such as Copado or Gearset.
Maintain a comprehensive test suite (minimum 80% Apex code coverage) and manage sandbox
strategy for development, UAT, and staging environments.
Oversee daily operations of the Salesforce org, including user setup, profiles, permission sets,
role hierarchy, and field-level security.
Evaluate, install, and configure third-party AppExchange applications to extend Salesforce
functionality in alignment with business priorities.
Build and maintain REST/SOAP API integrations with internal and external platforms.
Partner with Revenue Operations, Customer Success, Finance, and Product teams to gather
requirements and deliver solutions that scale with the business.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship on Salesforce best practices across teams.
Support end-user training and adoption initiatives, creating documentation and enablement
materials as needed.
What You'll Bring: Required Qualifications
Minimum 3 years of hands-on Salesforce development and administration experience in a fast-
paced SaaS or technology company.
Experience with Salesforce CPQ or Revenue Cloud for subscription, quoting, and contract
lifecycle management.
Active Salesforce certifications: Salesforce Administrator and Salesforce Platform Developer I.
Proficiency in Apex, SOQL, Visualforce, and Lightning Web Components (LWC), with strong understanding of governor limits and Salesforce architecture.
Experience with Salesforce DX and source-driven development workflows (version control with Git, scratch orgs, unlocked packages).
Demonstrated ability to design and build REST/SOAP API integrations between Salesforce and third-party platforms.
Solid understanding of the Salesforce Security Model: profiles, permission sets, field-level security, sharing rules, and OWD.
Strong data modeling skills, including custom object design, lookup/master-detail relationships, and schema planning.
Experience with CI/CD tools for Salesforce deployments (e.g., Copado, Gearset, or GitHub Actions with SFDX).
Excellent problem-solving, prioritization, and project management skills in a dynamic environment.
Strong communication and collaboration skills; comfortable working cross-functionally with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
Additional certifications: Salesforce Platform Developer II, JavaScript Developer I, or Data Architect.
Familiarity with the dealer, automotive, powersports, marine, or equipment industries.
Experience in a B2B SaaS company with recurring revenue models.
