Salesforce Developers

Overview

Salesforce is a customer relationship management (CRM), cloud software solution “that gives every business team⁠—from sales and marketing to commerce, service, and beyond—a single, shared view of every customer,” according to Salesforce Inc., the company that developed the platform. More than 150,000 companies use the Salesforce platform—including Unilever, NBCUniversal, Adidas, UnitedHealthcare, IBM, and PayPal. Salesforce developers build Salesforce applications across various “platform as a service” cloud systems or customize Salesforce applications to the needs of their employer. They work for Salesforce Inc., companies that use Salesforce software, and firms that customize Salesforce applications.
