MetLife, a global leader in insurance and financial services, is expanding its technology footprint in India. With a legacy of over 90 years, the company has consistently leveraged digital innovation to deliver customer-centric solutions across the world. In Pune, MetLife’s technology hub focuses on building scalable, cloud‑native platforms that power its insurance products and services. The Jr. Software Platform Engineer role is a full‑time, hybrid position that places you at the heart of MetLife’s Salesforce ecosystem. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining Salesforce applications that support the company’s core business processes. Working closely with senior developers, architects, and business stakeholders, you will translate functional requirements into robust, secure, and maintainable code. Key responsibilities include: 1. Building and enhancing Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and SOQL. 2. Configuring declarative features such as Flow, validation rules, reports, and dashboards. 3. Performing basic Salesforce administration tasks – user provisioning, profile and permission set management. 4. Implementing security best practices across object, field, and record levels. 5. Supporting data management activities – imports, exports, cleansing, and quality checks. 6. Integrating Salesforce with external systems via REST and SOAP APIs. 7. Participating in Agile ceremonies – sprint planning, stand‑ups, reviews, and retrospectives. 8. Maintaining technical documentation and release records. 9. Troubleshooting platform performance and access issues. 10. Continuously learning new Salesforce features such as Agentforce. The tech stack revolves around the Salesforce platform: Apex, LWC, SOQL, Flow, and declarative tools. Exposure to REST/SOAP APIs, Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Agile methodologies is highly valued. The role offers a clear growth trajectory – from Junior Engineer to Platform Engineer, then to Senior Engineer or Solution Architect, with opportunities to specialize in security, integration, or AI‑powered features. Why join MetLife? The company offers a collaborative culture that values innovation, professional development, and work‑life balance. Employees benefit from competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a global network that encourages cross‑functional learning. As a Jr. Engineer, you’ll gain hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge Salesforce technologies while contributing to real‑world business solutions that impact millions of customers worldwide.

Explain OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) principles with real-world examples in Apex. Answer β–Ό
Model Answer: 1. Encapsulation (data hiding via private fields/getters). 2. Abstraction (hiding implementation complexity). 3. Inheritance (code reusability). 4. Polymorphism (method overriding/overloading).
What is the time and space complexity of QuickSort vs MergeSort? Answer β–Ό
Model Answer: QuickSort: Average O(N log N) time, O(log N) space. Worst O(N^2). MergeSort: Guaranteed O(N log N) time, but requires O(N) auxiliary space.
Explain the difference between SQL Indexing (B-Tree vs Hash) and when not to use an index. Answer β–Ό
Model Answer: Indexes speed up SELECT queries via B-Trees. However, they slow down INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations because indexes must be updated on disk. Avoid on low-cardinality columns (e.g., boolean flags).
What happens under the hood when you enter a URL in a browser? Answer β–Ό
Model Answer: 1. DNS lookup (resolves IP). 2. TCP 3-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK). 3. TLS negotiation for HTTPS. 4. HTTP GET request sent. 5. Server responds with HTML/CSS/JS. 6. Browser renders DOM & CSSOM tree.
What is the difference between REST and GraphQL APIs? Answer β–Ό
Model Answer: REST uses multiple fixed endpoints with possible over/under-fetching. GraphQL uses a single endpoint allowing clients to query exact fields in a single request.
