Organization Overview

Founded in 2004, Brilliant Corners provides innovative housing and housing-related services to California's most vulnerable individuals, with an emphasis on those transitioning from, or at risk of, homelessness or institutionalization.

Position Summary

The Salesforce Developer is a key technical position on the Product Development team, which works to develop and adapt technology to the needs of Brilliant Corners' various lines of work and programs. Reporting to the Salesforce Administrator Supervisor and working primarily with the Product Development team, the Salesforce Developer designs, builds, tests, and maintains custom solutions on the Salesforce platform with a strong emphasis on Apex programming, Lightning Web Components, and API-based integrations across the organization's technology ecosystem.
