Gearset is the leading DevOps platform for Salesforce - our users can build and manage many aspects of their Salesforce development from within Gearset, from complex CI/CD pipelines to disaster recovery. The Gearset platform is a standalone tool that sits outside of the Salesforce platform, integrating via public APIs only. So while our engineering team doesn't develop within the Salesforce environment, our users do. So we work closely with those domain experts to build novel solutions to the unique challenges they face, enabling them to make their Salesforce changes quickly and safely. This means we can identify and react to issues quickly and delight our users by getting improvements to them as fast as possible. As a product-driven company founded by engineers, we know the value of a great engineering culture, teamwork and tight feedback loops. Check out this video to see what it's like working as an engineer in our Belfast office.
