About the Role
As our next Senior Salesforce Engineer, you'll be a key architect and developer driving how Salesforce fits into Checkatrade's wider enterprise ecosystem. You'll own the full development lifecycle across Sales and Service Clouds, building robust, scalable solutions and connecting Salesforce to our core services through smart, event-driven integrations. This is a role for a modern engineer who embraces AI-assisted development and holds the bar high on code quality.
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and maintain high-performance Apex, LWC, and Flow solutions across Sales and Service Cloud, building for scale and long-term maintainability.
- Leverage AI coding tools to accelerate development velocity while upholding rigorous engineering standards, setting the bar for how AI-assisted delivery is done at Checkatrade.
- Architect and implement secure integration patterns, including REST APIs and platform event-driven workflows, connecting Salesforce seamlessly to our wider core services.
- Work closely with distributed engineering and data teams to ensure unified data flow and cohesive architecture across Salesforce and non-Salesforce services.
- Own and optimise the Salesforce CI/CD deployment pipeline, ensuring smooth, automated, and reliable releases to production.
- Champion code quality through thorough code reviews and comprehensive unit tests, helping upskill the wider team on modern AI-assisted engineering practices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
