Salesforce Engineer

Salesforce Engineer

Department: Technology

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: London

Reporting To: Matt Millross

Overview of the role

• We're looking for a mid-level Salesforce Engineer to design, build and ship custom solutions on the Salesforce platform. Salesforce is a core business platform for us, used daily by operational teams and integrated with a number of internal and third-party systems, so the
  work you do has a direct, visible impact.
• This is a greenfield project: the org is less than a year old, so you'll be working with a modern, clean codebase and will have a genuine say in the patterns, standards and architecture as it grows. If you enjoy shaping something early rather than untangling years of technical
  debt, this is a good fit.
• This is a predominantly hands-on build role. You'll be writing code most days and owning features from refinement through to release, with a particular focus on Lightning Web Components and API integrations.
• You'll work closely with fellow engineers and with the
  business stakeholders who rely on the platform.
• We operate in a regulated environment, so change control, auditability and careful handling of data are part of how we work

• Design, build and maintain custom Lightning Web Components: reusable, performant, accessible UI, making heavy use of modals, custom data tables and component composition.
• Own integrations between Salesforce and internal/external systems: REST callouts, named credentials, authentication,
  request/response mapping, and robust handling of failure cases.
• Write clean and well-tested Apex: services, triggers, and async processing (Queueable/Batch/Schedulable) that respects governor
  limits.
• Build and maintain Flow automation (record-triggered and screen flows), and exercise good judgement about where logic belongs in
  Flow versus Apex.
• Model data and configure the platform: custom objects, fields, metadata-driven configuration and platform events.
• Take part in code reviews, testing standards, and design discussions and help keep a growing codebase clean.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to turn requirements into working software.

• 3+ years building on Salesforce including features you've owned through to production environments.
• Strong Lightning Web Components: lifecycle hooks, reactive properties, wire adapters, events, component composition, and Jest
  tests. This is central to the role.
• Strong integration skills: REST/SOAP callouts, named credentials, authentication, data mapping, and handling failure cases properly is also central to the role.
• Strong design and implementation abilities. We're a relatively new org and you'll be owning projects end-to-end while shaping our
  org. We want to maintain our current strong, efficient and scalable codebase.
• Solid Apex: SOQL, governor limits, async patterns, and unit tests that assert real behaviour.
• Comfortable with modern JavaScript (ES6+); you don't need a framework background but should know your way around the language.
• Practical Flow experience (record-triggered and screen flows), and judgement on the Flow/Apex boundary.
• Git and pull-request workflow, and strong source-driven deployment via SFDX/Salesforce CLI.
  
  Experience with Azure Dev Ops is a
  bonus.
• Clear communication and the confidence to work directly with non-technical colleagues.

Useful, but not required

• Experience in a regulated environment (financial services, healthcare, or similar).
• CI/CD experience and familiarity with second-generation packaging (2GP) or scratch orgs.
• Salesforce certifications (i.e. Platform Developer I/II, JavaScript Developer I).
• If you've done any of it, say so. If you haven't, we'd rather teach you that than compromise on the engineering

We believe great people do their best work when they feel supported, rewarded, and empowered to grow. That’s why we offer a benefits package designed to support your career, wellbeing, finances, and life outside of work.
