• Supporting the ongoing evolution of our Salesforce platform and wider ecosystem.
• Providing technical leadership, mentoring and day-to-day guidance to other team members.
• Contributing to release management, deployment activities and engineering best practices.
• Ensuring high standards of security, compliance, data integrity and platform performance.
• Working collaboratively within Agile delivery teams to deliver business-critical initiatives.

What we would like from you

• Salesforce Platform Developer 1 essential.
• Salesforce Administrator certification (ADM-201) and Platform App Builder
• Proven experience in Salesforce development and engineering, including Apex, Lightning Web Components, and declarative tools.
• Hands-on experience with integrations (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware, ETL tools).
• Strong understanding of the Salesforce platform, security model, and performance optimisation.
• Desirable: Experience with Marketing Cloud, Azure services, and data pipelines.
