This role is ideal for a recent Computer Science / Software Engineering graduate or an early-career developer with little to no prior Salesforce experience, but who possesses a foundational understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (such as Python, Java, C#, or similar languages).
We will provide training, mentorship, and support to help you achieve your official Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I credentials and grow into a skilled Salesforce Developer.
Key Responsibilities
- Core Platform Development: Learn to design, code, and deploy custom solutions on the Salesforce platform using Apex (an object-oriented language closely resembling Java), Lightning Web Components (LWC), Aura, Visualforce, and SOQL/SOSL.
- Declarative Configuration: Embrace Gen25’s “clicks before code” philosophy by configuring standard Salesforce features (Flows, Custom Objects, Validation Rules, Security/Sharing Models) alongside programmatic development.
- Quality Assurance & Testing: Participate in our structured Quality Assurance process by writing automated unit test classes, supporting peer code reviews, and maintaining high test coverage.
- System Integration: Assist senior developers and architects in integrating Salesforce with external APIs and enterprise systems (REST/SOAP, JSON).
- Agile Project Delivery: Participate actively in Scrum ceremonies (Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Demos, Retrospectives) and collaborate closely with Salesforce Consultants, Business Analysts, and Project Managers.
- Continuous Learning: Rapidly pick up Salesforce platform capabilities with additional focus on AI and Agentforce, best practices, and work towards industry certifications.
Requirements & Prerequisites
- Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical coding experience/bootcamp.
- Programming Knowledge: Understanding of Python, Java, C#, or a similar object-oriented programming (OOP) language, including concepts like classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and data structures.
- Database Fundamentals: Basic knowledge of relational databases and SQL queries.
- Problem-Solving & Aptitude: Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a genuine eagerness to build a career in SaaS and Cloud development.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Right to Work: Eligibility to work in the UK (office located in Southwark, London).
Desirable (not required)
- Any prior exposure to Salesforce (Trailhead badges, Admin/Developer Trailmixes).
- Familiarity with Version Control Systems (Git, GitHub, GitLab) and modern DevOps / CI/CD concepts.
What We Offer
- Tailored Career Growth: Structured mentorship from Senior Developers.
- Certification Sponsorship: Support and study time to attain official Salesforce certifications (Platform App Builder, Platform Developer I, etc.).
- Hybrid Working Model: Flexible blend of home working (3 days a week) and collaborative team days at our London office (2 days a week).
- Agile, Inclusive Environment: A collaborative, challenge-driven team culture with a flat structure and clear career pathways.
- Competitive Package: Competitive starting salary, pension scheme, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and regular team socials.
