Cloud / wider estate
AWS and integration with other enterprise platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics may be relevant
Operations
Production support, monitoring, incident investigation, RCA and continual service improvement
Essential / strong fit
- Strong hands on Salesforce development experience spanning both declarative and programmatic delivery.
- Apex and Lightning Web Components (LWC), with solid understanding of Salesforce data model, governor limits, security and platform architecture.
- Experience with Sales Cloud and Service Cloud; Experience Cloud knowledge is beneficial.
- Practical understanding of Salesforce integrations, APIs and cross system data flows.
