Hire a Salesforce Developer
Extra certified development capacity that plugs into your sprints and your repository, with our architects reviewing every pull request before it merges.
01
The problem
Why people call us about this.
A
Your roadmap is capacity-bound and hiring takes four months.
B
Contractors keep leaving before anyone documents what they built.
C
Pull requests merge unreviewed because nobody senior is available.
02
What’s covered
The Salesforce we actually configure.
A developer in your stand-ups and your repo, reviewed by someone more senior. You get capacity without the four-month hiring cycle or the ramp-up tax.
03
Ways to hire
Ways to hire a Salesforce developer
There are three ways to hire a Salesforce developer from us: a dedicated developer full-time, a dedicated developer part-time, or hourly and fixed-scope work. All three are certified, work remotely inside your process, and have every pull request reviewed by one of our architects before it reaches yours.
Other routes
Need more than one person — a developer, an admin, QA and an analyst together? That is Salesforce staff augmentation, which fills a set of seats rather than one.
If the work is joining Salesforce to your ERP, billing or marketing systems, see the integrations we build most often.

How it runs
Five phases, and what you see at the end of each.
01 · Week 1
Inventory
What exists, who owns it, and which system is really the source of truth. Almost always surfaces something nobody knew was live.
A written map
02 · Weeks 2–3
Contract
The design in writing, with each decision and its reversal cost named. This is where we argue with the brief — before money is spent.
A signed scope
03 · Middle
Build
Built against the contract and reviewed against it. You see working software every two weeks, in your own sandbox.
Fortnightly demos
04 · Late
Prove
Volume testing at twice expected load, deliberate failure injection, and a replay run with your team watching.
A test evidence pack
05 · Final week
Hand over
Runbook, monitoring, escalation path and a named owner on your side — then a month watching it together before we step back.

First call
Thirty minutes. Three answers.
You speak to a certified architect, not a sales engineer. No deck, no discovery fee, and no obligation to go further — you leave the call with three things whether you hire us or not.
Whether this is even the right line
About a third of the time it is not, and we say so. Usually the ask is custom development when the real problem sits in the data model underneath.
A shape and a range
Roughly how long, roughly how many people, and the band it falls in. The firm number follows discovery about two weeks later, and it holds.
The two risks we would flag
The things most likely to blow the timeline on a project like yours — named on the call, before anyone has signed anything.

FAQ
Asked on nearly every call.
How quickly can someone start?
Usually about two weeks. The first few days are a repository and architecture walkthrough, and we do not bill those as delivery.
Do they work inside our process?
Your stand-ups, your board, your sprint cadence and your definition of done. Running a parallel process alongside yours is how knowledge gets lost.
Who reviews their code?
One of our architects reviews every pull request before it reaches your reviewers. You get a second senior opinion you are not paying for separately.
Can we hire them permanently?
We would rather that than lose you altogether. There is a conversion arrangement in the agreement — we are not going to block a good outcome for your team.
How much does it cost to hire a Salesforce developer?
$40 an hour for hourly or project work, $2,500 a month for a part-time developer, or $5,000 a month for a full-time dedicated developer. Every rate includes architect review on each pull request, and the onboarding days are not billed as delivery.
What is the difference between a Salesforce developer, a consultant and an admin?
An admin configures what Salesforce already does — users, permissions, fields, Flows, reports. A developer writes what it does not: Apex, Lightning Web Components, integrations and tests. A consultant decides what should be built and why. If most of your backlog is configuration, an admin on demand is the cheaper hire; if it is design, start with consulting.
Can we hire a Salesforce developer for a short-term or one-off project?
Yes. Hourly engagements at $40 an hour have no minimum term, and a fixed-scope piece of work — one integration, one component, one clean-up — is quoted as a band after a short look at the org. Monthly developers run on thirty days’ notice either way.
