We’re looking for a Lead Salesforce Developer to take a hands-on, senior role in shaping and delivering our Salesforce platform. This is a staff-level individual contributor position, combining technical leadership with practical implementation. You’ll be responsible for designing and building robust solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components, and modern integration patterns, while setting a high bar for code quality, testing, and maintainability. You’ll work closely with product, data, and business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into scalable, well-architected systems that support critical commercial and operational workflows.
The role sits at the centre of a broader ecosystem, with Salesforce integrated into NetSuite, authentication and authorisation services, and our customer support and sales tooling. You’ll provide architectural guidance across these boundaries, ensuring data flows are reliable, secure, and well-governed, and that our approach to identity, access, and system boundaries remains coherent as we scale. You’ll play a key role in evolving our platform strategy - balancing Salesforce-native capabilities with external services - and helping us avoid unnecessary customisation while still delivering flexible, high-quality outcomes.
As a senior individual contributor, you’ll mentor other engineers, influence technical direction, and contribute to a strong engineering culture without stepping into line management. We’re looking for someone who is pragmatic, thoughtful about trade-offs, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve.
Requirements
- Deep experience of Salesforce development and integrations
- A solid grounding in software engineering principles
- An ability to mentor engineers
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to challenge assumptions and drive better solutions across teams
