) platform, serving customers worldwide. As an ISV, we build and evolve one single product, with a strong focus on code quality, scalability, performance and long-term architecture.

\n
Team culture & environment
\n
What really makes this role stand out is the team.
\n
• A stable, close knit engineering group — many team members have worked together for 8+ years
\n
• A friendly, supportive and human environment, where people genuinely enjoy working together
\n
• Engineers, testers, architects and product managers collaborating daily as one product team
\n
• A culture that values shared ownership, learning and constructive technical discussions
\n
• Strong leadership momentum and investment, particularly around AI and Salesforce innovation

• A modern, welcoming office in Winnersh, with teams enjoying face to face collaboration as part of a hybrid model
\n
What you’ll be doing
\n
As a Senior Salesforce Developer, you will take ownership of complex technical delivery while contributing to the design and architecture of our Salesforce-based product. You will work hands-on with Apex, SOQL, JavaScript, Salesforce Lightning, Lightning Web Components, VisualForce and APIs, while helping define robust technical approaches for scalable product features.
\n
• Design, develop and maintain enterprise-grade Salesforce product features with a strong focus on scalability, maintainability and performance
\n
• Translate complex business requirements into clear technical designs and robust implementation plans
\n
• Contribute actively to Salesforce architecture discussions, design reviews and long-term product decisions
\n
• Apply strong object-oriented design principles, automated testing practices, code quality standards and CI/CD ways of working
\n
• Mentor and support other engineers through code reviews, technical guidance and knowledge sharing
\n
This is a senior hands-on development role with genuine technical depth. It is not an admin or configuration-focused position: we are looking for someone who enjoys building, designing and improving complex Salesforce product capabilities.
