Good to Have

• Experience with Angular and strong hands-on frontend development.
• Salesforce Financial Services Cloud fundamentals or experience in financial services.
• Experience with Platform Events, Change Data Capture and high-volume data processing.
• Salesforce Platform Developer II certification.
• Salesforce Application Architect or System Architect certification.
• Experience with test automation and enterprise engineering quality standards.
• Exposure to AWS Lambda, S3 and API Gateway.
• Experience working with global engineering teams in investment banking or financial services.

What We Are Looking For

• A senior Salesforce engineer with genuine depth across frontend, Apex and integration architecture.
• A technical leader capable of making platform-level decisions and remaining hands-on.
• Strong problem-solving skills, sound architectural judgement and attention to security and scalability.
• The ability to explain complex designs, trade-offs and implementation decisions.
• Professionals who enjoy building robust enterprise platforms from the ground up.
