Salesforce Developer - Remote
Description About 160 Driving Academy 160 Driving Academy is the largest CDL training school in the country,14 years strong, 90+ locations across 32 states, and roughly 20,000 students earning their commercial driver’s license with us every year. We graduate at an 88% first-time pass rate because we take the work personally. Behind every one of those graduates is a working adult who bet on themselves, and behind every one of those outcomes is a platform that had to work. The Role When a student enrolls at 160 Driving Academy, a chain of events has to happen, drug test scheduled, DOT physical confirmed, permit application tracked, class attendance monitored, job placement coordinated, and a CDL handed over at the finish line. Right now, many of those steps involve manual handoffs and disconnected systems. Your job is to change that. As our Salesforce Engineer, you will build and maintain the integrations and automations that connect our student lifecycle, from enrollment to graduation, inside Salesforce. You’ll work with our Student Success, Admissions, Compliance, and Operations teams to eliminate friction, surface the right data at the right time, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks for the 20,000 students moving through our programs every year. Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $90,000 – $120,000 per year, commensurate with experience
- Health, vision, and dental insurance
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- Currently fully remote; may transition to hybrid in the future
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain integrations that power the student lifecycle, drug test scheduling, DOT physical tracking, permit applications, attendance monitoring, curriculum adherence, and job placement coordination
- Design, develop, and deploy Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flows, and automations that reduce manual work for our Student Success and Admissions teams
- Connect Salesforce to third-party systems and vendor platforms via REST/SOAP APIs and platform events
- Partner with Student Success, Operations, and Compliance stakeholders to translate real workflow pain points into clean technical solutions
- Own data quality and pipeline health, if the data in Salesforce is wrong, student outcomes suffer
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues quickly; a blocked integration can mean a missed drug test or a delayed enrollment
- Stay current with Salesforce releases and proactively recommend features that improve advisor efficiency or student visibility
Why 160 Driving Academy We train the people America runs on. The work you build here, the integrations, the automations, the data pipelines, directly determines whether a student gets their CDL or falls through the cracks. That's a meaningful problem to solve, and we're investing in the people solving it well.
