Junior Salesforce Developer
At Gen25 we are seeking an enthusiastic Junior Salesforce Developer to join our growing delivery team in London. 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.
