UITS delivers enterprise and specialized technology services that support students, faculty, researchers, staff, and campus partners. Through innovation, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to accessibility and continuous improvement, UITS supports the evolving needs of a leading research university and the communities it serves.

University Information Technology Services (UITS) is seeking an Application Developer to join the Trellis enterprise CRM team as the core developer for CatCloud, the University's student-facing hub. This is a permanent role that begins with re-platforming CatCloud from Salesforce Experience Cloud to Next.js and React, and continues with ongoing development of the platform, including future work extending it with AI-driven features. The role also provides periodic support to the broader Trellis Salesforce platform, including Apex development and related application work.

The ideal candidate is a full-stack developer with strong React experience who is comfortable working in dynamic environments and using AI coding tools as part of their workflow.

• Design, build, and maintain CatCloud as its core developer — a modern Next.js/React web front end that consumes Trellis's (Salesforce) REST APIs — leading the initial replatforming from Salesforce Experience Cloud and continuing to own, evolve, and extend the platform going forward, using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery.
• Work with the business analyst to define needed integrations and deliver the APIs the Boomi team needs to move data in and out of Trellis/CatCloud — ensuring Boomi has the data it requires, without owning integration build or orchestration directly.
• Establish and implement production-readiness standards for CatCloud as it moves from prototype to a system serving live student data — including secrets management, secure data handling, and environment-specific deployment safeguards.
• Support the Trellis enterprise Salesforce team on special projects and backend development (e.g., list loads, Apex-based logic, controller/service-layer work, Lightning Web Components or other native Salesforce UI work) as priorities require, developing working Apex proficiency over time.
• Partner with the project's dedicated UX designer to translate designs and student-experience requirements into effective front-end implementations; contribute to the team's exploration of AI agent development to extend CatCloud and Trellis capabilities responsibly and with appropriate guardrails.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Knowledge of agentic AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a core part of the development workflow; supply the context and constraints that produce good output, and critically review what comes back.
• Ability to learn Salesforce Apex and enterprise CRM concepts sufficient to contribute to Trellis-side development work.
• Knowledge of secure coding practices; secrets management, environment separation, and safe handling of sensitive/regulated student data (e.g., FERPA-related considerations.
• Knowledge of how CatCloud, Trellis, and their integrations fit together, and to make sound judgment calls within that context.
• Ability to work well as part of a small, highly motivated team, collaborating closely with regular guidance and direction from the team lead.
• Ability to work effectively with a dedicated UX designer, a business analyst, and the Boomi integration team, without owning those functions directly.
• Flexibility and curiosity: comfortable shifting between front-end platform work, backend/Apex support, and forward-looking agentic AI development as priorities evolve.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; effective verbal and written communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.

This job posting reflects the general nature and level of work expected of the selected candidate(s). It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties and responsibilities.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent advanced learning attained through professional level experience required.
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience, or equivalent combination of education and work experience.

• Experience with Next.js specifically, and with migrating/replatforming an existing application to a new front-end framework.
• Experience with Salesforce development (Apex, Lightning Web Components, or platform APIs).
• Prior experience delivering APIs consumed by an iPaaS platform (Boomi, MuleSoft, Workato, etc.) — not required to have built the integration itself, but understands what a clean, integration-friendly API looks like.
• Experience building or experimenting with AI agents or agentic workflows (LLM tool use, orchestration frameworks, internal tooling that connects AI coding assistants to team systems).
• Experience in higher education or another large enterprise CRM environment.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern source control workflows (Git/GitHub).
• Experience communicating technical tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
