Senior Salesforce Engineer

As a Senior Salesforce Developer, you’ll take ownership of complex Salesforce solutions from discovery through to production. You’ll work across both code and configuration, making informed technical decisions around architecture, automation, integrations, security, and maintainability. You’ll be trusted to take ambiguous or complex requirements, work with stakeholders to understand the underlying problem, and shape a solution that is scalable and aligned with the wider Salesforce platform. You’ll remain hands-on with Apex, Lightning Web Components, integrations, and declarative tooling, while also acting as a technical point of reference for other members of the team. You’ll review code and designs, support colleagues through challenging technical problems, and help improve the engineering practices that underpin how Salesforce changes are developed and released.
