• Tackle technical debt – Own an ongoing programme of improvement, tracking where the platform needs attention and carving out space each release to make things better.
• Strengthen our deployment process – Manage the quality checks in our CI/CD pipeline so that problems get caught early and good practices are baked in from the start.
• Enable new product features – Work with our AI and Data team to make sure Salesforce is ready for what's coming next, including AI tools, high-volume processing, and new integrations.

What You'll Bring

• Significant hands-on experience with Salesforce in a senior or lead role.
• Deep expertise in Apex triggers, batch classes, async processing and a strong grasp of how to build things that scale without hitting limits.
• Experience cleaning up Salesforce codebases and making them production-ready.
• A solid understanding of Salesforce security, including how sharing rules, field-level security, and permissions work in practice.
• Proven experience integrating Salesforce with other systems using REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events, and async patterns.
• Confidence with Lightning Web Components and modern Salesforce development approaches.
• The ability to explain technical decisions clearly to people who aren't engineers.

Bonus Points

• Salesforce certifications such as Platform Developer II, Application Architect, or Technical Architect.
