Job description

Overview

We're hiring a permanent founding Salesforce Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of our Salesforce platform as it scales into a business-critical system for client data and workflows. You'll work closely with commercial, operations and compliance teams to gather requirements, design robust solutions, and integrate Salesforce with the wider application landscape. The role is hands-on and cross-functional, with plenty of scope to set standards, shape architecture, and build for scale.

Responsibilities

• Own Salesforce architecture, configuration and custom development across the stack.
• Design scalable, auditable flows (including regulated onboarding such as KYC) and improve data quality/governance.
• Build and maintain integrations with internal services and third-party platforms (APIs, middleware/iPaaS).
• Collaborate with front-end engineers on custom UIs over Salesforce (e.g., Lightning/Aura, embedded apps).
• Define platform standards for access controls, data model, automation, and CI/CD/DevOps.
• Create analytics and reporting that support decision-making.
• Champion best practices and enable colleagues through documentation and enablement.

Requirements

• Strong Salesforce engineering experience spanning Apex, Lightning, Flows and SOQL, comfortable across config and code.
• Clear communicator who can translate business needs into robust technical designs.
• Experience in regulated environments and a strong appreciation for data quality, security and governance.
• Integration experience (REST/event-driven patterns, APIs, middleware) and comfort working across domains.
• A builder's mindset — happy in a small team, eager to set standards, and focused on scalability.

Nice to have

• Experience establishing CI/CD for Salesforce (e.g., SFDX/DevOps Center) and environment strategy.
• Exposure to financial services or other regulated sectors.
• Familiarity with analytics/BI or modern front-end frameworks.
• High ownership from day one as the platform lead.
• Direct impact on business-critical workflows and tooling.

Collaborative environment with room to shape the roadmap.
