Remote Salesforce Jobs: Market Snapshot
RemoteHerd is currently tracking 2,145 active remote Salesforce positions from 554 companies. Salesforce roles are the most platform-specific category on RemoteHerd. Beyond general cloud familiarity, the skill mix is dominated by Salesforce-native technologies — Visualforce and SOAP integrations show up in a substantial share of postings — reflecting how much of the work involves customising and integrating the Salesforce platform itself rather than general-purpose development.

How to Find Remote Salesforce Jobs
With 2,145 active Salesforce postings tracked on RemoteHerd, the most effective search strategy is to filter for the skills that matter most in this category rather than browsing generic listings.
- Filter for Cloud and Visualforce specifically — together they're the two most requested skills for Salesforce roles
- Set up alerts for new Salesforce postings so you can apply within the first 48 hours, when remote roles typically see the highest response rates
- Lead your resume with the skills most associated with this category — Cloud, Visualforce, SOAP, JavaScript — since these are what hiring managers scan for first
- Check the career pages of the companies listed below directly, since postings are often live there before (or instead of) being aggregated elsewhere
Career Growth and Outlook for Remote Salesforce
Salesforce certifications (Administrator, Platform Developer) combined with hands-on Visualforce/Apex experience cover most of the postings in this category. SOAP/REST integration experience and a general-purpose language like JavaScript or Java are the most common additions for developers moving into more technical, integration-heavy Salesforce roles. Most Salesforce roles also lean on general-purpose engineering skills — see our Software Engineering jobs guide for a broader look at the kind of work that pairs well with Salesforce specialisation.
Salesforce Administrator vs. Salesforce Developer Jobs
"Salesforce Administrator" and "Salesforce Developer" are the two most common job titles in this category, and both are well represented among remote postings. Administrator roles focus on configuring the platform, managing users and permissions, building reports and dashboards, and maintaining workflows — generally without writing custom code. Developer roles go further, building custom functionality with Apex and Visualforce (and increasingly Lightning Web Components) and handling integrations. If you're searching for remote salesforce admin jobs or remote salesforce administrator jobs, the 554 companies and salary ranges on this page cover both tracks — the Salesforce Administrator certification is the most common entry point, while Platform Developer certifications and Apex experience open up the more technical roles described above.
