100% Remote Senior Software Engineer - Integrations

Who we are:

Kicksaw is a tightly-knit team of smart, energetic thinkers, dreamers, explorers, and problem-solvers. We offer world-class Salesforce implementations, data migrations, process optimizations, tool integrations, and data sourcing/enrichment services that boost our clients' revenue teams, and we have fun while doing it.

About the role:

Do you love technology and are persistent in your drive to find the best possible solution? Do you thrive in an environment where new challenges are the norm? Are you interested in microservices and APIs? Do you like to roll up your sleeves and get cracking on in-depth business problems? If you answered yes to these questions, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to join the Kicksaw team!

As integration specialists, we understand Salesforce as a platform. But we often find ourselves reaching for tools outside the SFDC ecosystem to solve particularly challenging data problems. Sometimes we're working on projects that don't involve Salesforce at all! We are engineers first who flex our Salesforce skills when required. As one of the first few engineering hires on a team of 60+ revenue and marketing operations professionals, your day will be filled with tech challenges. You will help shape the foundation of the culture as we double in size over the next year.

Hard Requirements for the Job

NOTE: This job requires Salesforce experience

We're looking for strong engineering professionals, so we're not trying to throw out an alphabet-soup of the technologies you know. Instead, we're looking for, broadly speaking, a strong engineer who's worked in the Salesforce ecosystem. However, if you've never worked in the SFDC world, please hold off on applying.

So please use your judgment when applying for the job. The sections below outline what you will do here. If you feel like your prior experience is similar but not exact, feel free to apply!

What the Engineer III will do:

Python Development: 60%

Because some integration problems are ill-suited for salesforce web services, Kicksaw will often use the AWS platform with Lambdas and Step Functions to move data between systems. A developer at Kicksaw does the following:

• Step Functions, Lambdas, SQS, and data stores like DynamoDB to support business logic
• Serverless Framework or Terraform to build Lambdas, API Gateway endpoints, and step functions
• DevOps using CDK and Github actions (or other CI/CD providers) to support various AWS client resource needs
• Code Reviews
• Jr. Developer Mentoring/Support
• Internal tech development: contributing to and maintaining open-source libraries used throughout most projects

If you don't know some of these concepts, no problem! We have a senior developer on staff who understands them deeply and will train you up on them. What we're looking for instead is someone who feels comfortable in their python skills and understands the SFDC ecosystem.
