– Startup of London Team

The Role

• You will make extensive use of Salesforce, particularly the lightning platform stack focusing on the Service Cloud.
• Working with Apex, you will build batches, schedulers, and triggers as well as integrate Salesforce with third-party systems via REST APIs. You’ll also be responsible for building Lightning Web Components.
• As a Senior Engineer in the team, it will fall to you to ensure the quality of the code. Alongside our Quality Engineer, you’ll encourage the adoption of modern principles such as TDD, pair programming, and Software Craftsmanship, and provide coaching to other Engineers.
• We have a culture of “you build it, you run it”, and as such our engineering teams deploy their own code using SFDX.
• All our teams have autonomy and a remit to self-organise around any workflows and processes they find useful. As such, you will agree with the wider team on the best flavour of Agile to adopt, to aid interaction with our Product Managers, Quality Engineers, UX Designers, and Data Team.

What do we need from you?

• As a Senior Salesforce Developer, you will need to have extensive experience on the Force.com stack. We will expect you to demonstrate a broad understanding of the Salesforce platform and provide examples of how you’ve used Salesforce to solve business problems in the past.
• Experience developing in Apex is essential. You will be able to tell us about an interesting technical problem you’ve solved by developing in Apex in a previous role.
• You will have a knowledge of REST APIs and will be able to give an example of a time that you had to integrate Salesforce with a third-party API.
• As you will be required to create Lighting Web Components you will need a strong understanding of JavaScript.
• We have a culture of engineering excellence within the team, focusing on producing clean code that is well-designed. During your interview, we will want to discuss the approaches you take to ensure code has a high degree of readability and maintainability.
• Most companies talk about doing TDD; we do it. You must demonstrate an appetite to follow best practice TDD and understand the benefits that can be gained from doing so.
• You will have the ability to communicate and collaborate, this includes demonstrating that you are comfortable taking and understanding requirements.
• You will have worked in Agile teams before and be able to describe your contribution to various ceremonies.
