What really makes this role stand out is the team.

• A culture that values shared ownership, learning and constructive technical discussions

What you’ll be doing

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

• 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
