About the role

At Hargreaves Lansdown, Salesforce is at the core of our digital transformation and operational excellence.

Reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager, this role will ensure that all technical solutions align with best practices, architectural standards, and business needs.

The Principal Salesforce Developer will play a key role in shaping the future of our Salesforce platform, collaborating with Engineering Managers, Developers, and Consultants. You will guide how technical solutions are built, supporting the Senior Engineering Manager, who oversees what is built across the platform.

You'll work closely with two Engineering Managers who are responsible for 'Design & Build' and 'DevOps, QA, and Support,' as well as, for a period, Salesforce Consultants delivering larger-scale developments. This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring a mix of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and mentorship.

  • Problem-Solving: Tackle complex technical challenges, providing solutions that align with business objectives.
  • Documentation: Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation for technical designs, processes, and best practices.

What We're Looking For

  • Extensive Salesforce Experience: Deep knowledge of Salesforce architecture, development tools, and best practices, with expertise in Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, and APIs.
  • Leadership Skills: Proven experience leading development teams or acting as a technical lead in complex Salesforce projects.
  • Strategic Thinking: Ability to align technical solutions with business goals and contribute to the broader platform strategy.
  • Problem-Solving Ability: A track record of solving challenging technical problems and delivering robust solutions.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to convey complex ideas effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Certifications: Advanced Salesforce certifications (e.g., Salesforce Certified Technical Architect, Application Architect, or System Architect) are highly desirable.

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to shape the technical direction of a critical business platform.
  • A collaborative and innovative team environment.
  • Professional development opportunities to enhance your expertise further.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • By joining us as the Principal Salesforce Developer, you will have a pivotal role in driving the success of our Salesforce platform and ensuring it meets the evolving needs of our business.
