** Uni Homes is hiring a Salesforce Implementation Specialist to own the design integrity of our Salesforce platform as we scale into a heavier Agentforce and AI-led operating model.
Reporting to the Head of CRM, you will be the senior technical voice on the team - setting the architecture, designing integrations, governing releases and mentoring our Salesforce Administrators.
This is not a hand-coding role; the team uses configuration and Cursor-assisted development for build, and we need your judgement on what gets built, how, and why.

*
* Key responsibilities:

*** Own solution architecture across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Agentforce - from data model to security model to integration topology.
* Design integrations between Salesforce and the rest of our stack (finance, marketing, product, data platform).
* Govern releases: own the release process, branching strategy, code review and deployment pipeline.
* Review and quality-assure Cursor-assisted development output before it reaches production.
* Mentor our Salesforce Administrators, raising the bar on declarative build standards.
* Partner with the others on agent design, governance and the underlying Salesforce footprint that supports them.
* Be the senior technical face of CRM to the wider business - engineering, product, data and security.
*
* Skills and experience:

*** Proven experience as a hands-on Salesforce developer earlier in your career - Apex, Lightning Web Components and integration work - followed by progression into architecture.
* Salesforce Application Architect or System Architect certifications (or actively working towards them).
* Deep working knowledge of data modelling, sharing and security models, and integration patterns (REST/SOAP, platform events, middleware).
* Experience leading release governance and review of work produced by others, including by AI-assisted tooling.
* Strong communication skills - comfortable translating between business stakeholders, administrators and engineers.
* Comfortable in a fast-moving, SME environment where pragmatism beats perfection.
** Desirable
* ** Experience with Agentforce, Einstein and the broader Salesforce AI stack.
* Background in marketplaces, lettings, utilities or consumer-facing platforms.
* Exposure to AWS and modern data platforms.
