Join our team at The Guardian and be part of a diverse and inclusive global organisation dedicated to delivering fearless, investigative journalism that holds power to account. Our team combines award-winning journalists with cutting-edge commercial professionals and digital experts, committed to making a meaningful difference by representing a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
We’re now seeking a Salesforce Developer to join the Supporter Revenue Platform team within our product and engineering department.
About the Role
You’ll work alongside three teams in our Growth area of Supporter Revenue, focusing on internal business needs rather than direct customer support. The Platform team ensures:
- GNM’s Contact Centre has optimised Salesforce Service Cloud tools for critical operations
- The Guardian’s Help Centre is customer-centric, reducing unnecessary contact volumes
- Finance teams can accurately access data and generate required reports for revenue and regulatory compliance
- Operational systems reliably transfer data to BigQuery
- Underlying technology meets external auditor requirements
Responsibilities
The role encompasses full-stack engineering ownership, working across:
- AWS
- Salesforce (including Apex, Lightning Web Components, declarative config)
- BigQuery
- Zuora
- Stripe
- PayPal
- GoCardless
So, whether you want to dive into code or configuration, you’ll work on innovative solutions. Your responsibilities include:
- Developing in Apex and Lightning Web Components to create new features in Salesforce
- Integrating with internal services and 3rd-party software
- Occasionally providing 3rd-line troubleshooting for complex technical queries
- Modernising the Code deployment pipeline and testing frameworks to align with Agile processes
- Actively participating in product discussions and decision-making—not just technical implementation
