Senior Application Engineer

The Role

The Fusion Product Engineering team builds Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery software on both the Salesforce Lightning Platform platform-as-a-service (PaaS) portion of Salesforce's App Cloud and Microsoft's Azure Cloud Platform. Fusion is building an ecosystem of managed packages that utilize all portions of the Salesforce Lightning Platform stack. This includes but is not limited to Visualforce, Apex, Lightning Components, JavaScript, ReactJS, REST & SOAP API's, HTTP Callouts to 3rd Party Services, Platform Cache, and the Streaming API. Some of these packages make calls to our Azure services/infrastructure to carry out tasks that cannot be completed directly on the Salesforce platform.

All packages built on the Fusion Framework must go through the Salesforce Security Review Process ensuring that industry standard security principals (OWASP, SFDC Sharing Enforcement, etc.) are applied to all our managed packages.
