Act as a senior member of delivery teams, contributing to sprint planning, story refinement, estimation, and technical decision-making. Work closely with consultants and stakeholders to clarify requirements, surface risks, and recommend pragmatic technical solutions. Support and mentor other developers, contributing to shared patterns, standards, and continuous improvement across the team.
###

Commercial and operational discipline

Maintain strong delivery discipline across multiple engagements, supporting consistent billable delivery. Accurately record time and follow internal delivery and governance processes to support forecasting and reporting.

Strong hands-on Salesforce development experience, including Apex, declarative automation (Flow), data modelling, security model, and deployment practices. Proven experience delivering Salesforce integrations as a core part of your role, with hands-on API development and integration design. Solid understanding of integration patterns, authentication approaches (OAuth/JWT), Named Credentials, rate limits, and asynchronous processing on the Salesforce platform. Experience designing solutions that are robust in production, with clear approaches to error handling, monitoring, and support. Clear communication skills, able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Comfortable working in a fully remote environment, managing priorities independently and collaborating effectively with distributed teams.

Prior hands-on experience delivering Salesforce solutions for charities or nonprofit organisations.

Working arrangements

What success looks like in the first 3-6 months

----------------------------------------------------


You are confidently owning integration-heavy workstreams from technical design through to deployment. Clients and colleagues trust your judgement on integration architecture, scalability, and maintainability. You are raising the bar on engineering quality and contributing to shared standards and reusable patterns.





My vision is for us to live in an efficient world - one that is sustainable, clean, healthy and caring, where technology is a force for good.
