Job description

We’re hiring | Salesforce Developer – Product Engineering Team (ISV) in Winnersh (Reading area) or Newcastle, UK | Hybrid (3 days onsite)

Sage People is a global HR & people management SaaS product built on the Salesforce ( Force.com ) platform, serving customers worldwide. As an ISV, we build and evolve one single product, with a strong focus on code quality, scalability and long term architecture.

Salesforce is the #1 global CRM platform and a mature, enterprise-grade application ecosystem. It combines a strongly typed, object-oriented server-side language (Apex) with standards-based frontend development using Lightning Web Components. Much of our work involves custom Apex and LWC development, applying core software engineering principles such as OO design, automated testing, performance tuning, and CI/CD.

Team culture & environment

• A stable, close knit engineering group — many team members have worked together for 8+ years
• A friendly, supportive and human environment, where people genuinely enjoy working together
• Engineers, testers, architects and product managers collaborating daily as one product team
• A culture that values shared ownership, learning and constructive technical discussions
• Strong leadership momentum and investment, particularly around AI and Salesforce innovation
• A modern, welcoming office in Winnersh, with teams enjoying face to face collaboration as part of a hybrid model

• Contribute to a product roadmap that increasingly includes AI-driven capabilities

Work hands-on with: Apex, SOQL, JavaScript, Salesforce Lightning / Lightning Web Components (LWC) / VisualForce / APIs

• Experience developing with Salesforce Lightning
• Hands‑on delivery of solutions on the Force.com platform
• Strong proficiency in Apex, SOQL and JavaScript
