Jr. Software Platform Engineer

Candidates typically undergo a three‑round process: a technical screen covering Apex, LWC, and declarative tools; a deeper technical interview focusing on integration and security; and an HR round to assess cultural fit. The difficulty is moderate, with a mix of coding, scenario‑based questions, and system design discussions. Preparation on Salesforce best practices and recent platform updates is highly recommended.

Round 1: Technical interview – Apex, LWC, SOQL and declarative questions → Round 2: Technical + Architecture discussion – integration, security, and problem‑solving → Round 3: HR interview – cultural fit, motivation and compensation
