We are now looking for a Salesforce Developer to join the Supporter Revenue Platform team in our product and engineering department. Alongside the 3 teams in the Growth area of Supporter Revenue, the Platform team mostly faces the business rather than the customer directly. The team ensures that:<ul><li>
GNM's Contact Centre has the Salesforce Service Cloud tooling to do the tasks they need to do</li><li>
The Guardian's Help Centre is genuinely useful to customers and deflects as many contacts from the above as possible</li><li>
Finance staff can access data and generate the reports they need to report on revenue and meet regulatory requirements</li><li>
Our operational systems warehouse their data to BigQuery comprehensively and reliably</li><li>
Our technology stack satisfies external auditor requirements</li></ul>

Working in a cross-functional team, which is empowered to rapidly iterate and release new features.</li><li>
You won't be coding in isolation - our culture is strongly collaborative, whether pair programming with other developers or working closely with editorial and commercial colleagues.</li><li>
Sometimes deciding what code to write is as hard as writing the code itself. As an engineer you'll be involved in product decisions as well as technical ones.</li></ul>
About you<ul><li>
Experience working with the salesforce platform with demonstrated knowledge of best practice, engineering principles and features</li><li>
Collaborative, comfortable working with stakeholders to make meaningful changes</li><li>
Experience working with Apex, Lightning Web Components and declarative Salesforce configuration</li><li>
