Job description

About Us

ProvenWorks is a UK-based Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partner of Salesforce. We specialise in developing award-winning applications that enhance data management and integration within the Salesforce ecosystem. Our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction has positioned us as a trusted provider in the Salesforce community.

We continue to be early adopters of new and emerging technologies, and we are looking for a like-minded individual to join our team and help us push boundaries. We continue to experiment with using AI tools to optimise our business as well incorporating it in to our product for the first time.

We love experimenting with new technology and AI is giving us lots to play with!

About the role

• Design and build features for our Salesforce AppExchange products, our Azure hosted backend services, and our Home Assistant-based product, including AI powered capabilities.


• Work primarily with Salesforce (Apex, LWC/React), C# and Python running on Azure, and integration layers using REST APIs and SQL.


• Apply architecture first thinking: participate in modelling and design discussions and create simple architecture artefacts before we start coding.


• Write clean, test-driven, maintainable code; refactor and debug existing codebases.


• Use AI tools (e.g. Copilot/LLMs) as a normal part of design, implementation, and testing.


• Collaborate in code reviews, planning, and knowledge sharing with a small, experienced engineering team.


• Central Reading office, hybrid.


• At least 3 days per week in the office working closely with the team.

Responsibilities

• Implement features and fixes across Salesforce, Azure services, and our Home Assistant-based product, following test-driven development wherever practical.


• Contribute to and sometimes lead small design/architecture spikes, documenting outcomes clearly.


• Integrate with internal and external APIs and contribute to data modelling sessions where needed.


• Help maintain CI pipelines, automated tests, and quality gates.


• Work with product and support to understand real customer problems and shape pragmatic solutions.

Requirements (mid-level)

• Around 3-5 years of professional software development in a team environment.


• Practical experience building or operating services on Azure (for example App Service, Functions, Azure SQL, Storage, Service Bus, or similar).

Either:

• Strong evidence you can pick it up quickly; we will invest in your Salesforce ramp up and this will become a big part of your work.


• Genuine interest in AI and experience using AI tools to assist with coding, testing, or design.


• Comfortable with automated testing, Git, pull requests, and working in an Agile team.


• Excellent debugging skills, high attention to detail, and clear communication.


• Eligible to work fulltime in the UK and able to commute to central Reading at least 3 days per week.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with Azure in production: deploying apps, configuring resources, and understanding cost and monitoring.


• Experience with microservice or event-driven architectures on Azure (e.g. Functions, Service Bus, Event Grid).


• Home Assistant experience: building automations, custom integrations, or addons, especially where you've treated it like a \"real\" software platform.


• Evidence of being an IT hobbyist: side projects, opensource, home lab, or automation setups.

Our culture

We are a close-knit team and value every employee. We always welcome ideas from everyone, no matter how crazy, and promote a growth mindset. Come and join us to help take ProvenWorks to the next level!
