We can offer great career progression opportunities, benefits which you can flex to meet your needs and training and development opportunities. The role requires travel into our London Office at least once per month.

• Supporting and mentoring junior developers to build their Salesforce capabilities.
• Participating in pre‑sales activities, helping to shape proposals and identify new opportunities.
• Managing risks, quality, and delivery performance within your area of responsibility.

What you’ll bring:

• Extensive hands‑on experience as a Senior Salesforce Developer in complex enterprise environments.
• Deep expertise in Apex (triggers, controllers, asynchronous code).
• Proficiency with Lightning Web Components (LWC).
• Strong Service Cloud experience including Case Management, Knowledge, and Messaging for In‑App and Web (MIAW).
• Proven experience with Salesforce Shield and secure data access models.
• Salesforce Platform Developer 1, Platform Developer 2 and Salesforce Service Cloud Consultant Certifications.

It would be great if you had:

• Experience with Salesforce Public Sector Solution or Salesforce Private Connect.
• Prior experience working on UK public sector or secure government projects.
