We're a growth-stage fintech with teams in London, Nottingham, Atlanta, Stockholm, Munich and Mumbai, and we’re building a global Product, Data & Engineering team that thrives on autonomy, ownership, and is focused on impact! Our teams solve real-world problems for small businesses, shaping products that unlock opportunity at scale.

Engineering is going through an AI-first transformation, rethinking how teams are structured and how they ship. It's changing what a small team can do! We empower our teams to make decisions, move fast, and take full responsibility for the solutions they deliver. You’ll join a team where curiosity is encouraged and collaboration across Product, Data, Delivery and Engineering is the norm.

You’ll join Liberis' Salesforce Engineering practice, which owns and evolves the Salesforce platform behind how Liberis acquires, onboards, and supports merchants and partners across 15 markets.

You’ll build and run your own pod of up to four people, drawn from developers and admins. This role sits within the wider Technology function and work closely with product teams and business functions such as commercial and operations to turn business needs into reliable Salesforce solutions.

The Salesforce Engineering Lead is a people leader role that stays hands-on. You’ll own the technical direction of your team’s part of the Salesforce org and the growth of the people in it. This isn’t a step away from engineering into pure management. Liberis expects both.

Roughly 60-70% of your time goes to technical and delivery leadership, 20-30% to people management (1:1s, performance, career development, hiring), and the rest to cross-team and strategic work. The exact split depends on where your team is and what it needs at the time.

Technical leadership

• Own the technical direction and quality of your team's part of the Salesforce org: object model, security and sharing, automation, and integrations.
• Make or guide architecture decisions with clear reasoning about the trade-offs.
• Stay close enough to the code to review it credibly, help with the hard problems, and lead incident response when something breaks.
• Hold the line on engineering practice: CI/CD, Salesforce DX, testing, code review, and release management.
• Set goals, give feedback, and support career development for developers and admins at different levels.
• Build a team environment where people can grow and where feedback runs both ways.

Delivery and stakeholder partnership

• Work directly with sales, operations, and other customer-facing teams to understand how they work and where Salesforce can do more for them.
• Partner with other engineering teams to coordinate integrations and provide best-practice guidance on using Salesforce APIs.
• Act as a strategic advisor, not just an order-taker: help teams rethink a process, not just build what they first asked for.
• Contribute to the Salesforce roadmap and make sure changes are scalable and lined up with the wider business.
• Own platform health: security, data quality, and governance.
• Drive adoption of automation, including AI-driven automation, that cuts cost to serve without cutting quality.
• Represent your team's technical view in cross-team and leadership discussions.

• Proven success in a Salesforce development role, including time spent owning architecture decisions rather than just implementing them.
• Deep command of Apex, Lightning Web Components,…
