Job description

Salesforce Developer – Product Engineering Team (ISV)

We’re hiring in Winnersh (Reading area), 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

You’ll join a team where collaboration matters more than hierarchy, and where people stay because they like both the work and the people.

What you’ll be doing

• Work with the Force.com platform, delivering customer and people management functionality.
• Translate complex business requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions.
• Contribute to technical design, architecture discussions and system thinking.
• Collaborate closely with Salesforce Developers, Angular frontend engineers, Testers, Product Managers and Architects.
• Use Git, Jira, IntelliJ and CI/CD pipelines in a modern environment.
• Take part in Scrum / SAFe ceremonies, quarterly planning and product releases.
• 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.

Important: this role requires real, hands‑on development on Salesforce — it is not a configuration or admin position.

What we’re looking for

Core skills

• Proven experience with object-oriented programming, e.g. Java or C#.
• Experience developing with Salesforce Lightning.
• Hands‑on delivery of solutions on the Force.com platform.
• Strong proficiency in Apex, SOQL and JavaScript.
• Ability to manage and deliver complex business and technical requirements.

Nice to have

• Experience with Git, Jira, IntelliJ and CI/CD practices.
• Exposure to Salesforce REST APIs.
• Salesforce Developer Certification.

We are open to

• Experienced Salesforce Developers.
• Backend developers (Java / C#) looking to specialise in Salesforce, with strong development fundamentals and a desire to learn.

Benefits – we have plenty!

• Competitive salary plus generous bonus scheme.
• Pension plan: up to 8% matched + 2% top‑up by Sage.
• 25 days annual leave, with the option to buy up to 5 more.
• 8 bank holidays.
• 5 paid volunteer days per year via the Sage Foundation.
• 50% income protection.
• Holiday buy & sell.
• Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage.
• Work Away scheme (up to 10 weeks per year).
• Ongoing training and professional development.
• Hybrid working.
• Healthy Mind app membership.
• Access to financial, health and wellbeing memberships.

If you’re looking for a Salesforce developer role with real technical depth and a genuinely great team culture, we’d love to hear from you.
