Salesforce Forward Deployed Engineer

Most Salesforce roles fall into one of two traps: you are either stuck doing basic platform config and drag-and-drop admin, or you are writing endless functional specs in a consulting agency with zero hands-on engineering time.

This position is built differently. You are embedded directly into enterprise environments as a hands-on developer, writing production code and architecting complex integrations where standard Salesforce out-of-the-box features hit a wall.

• Compensation: Up to R110,000 pm, matching your technical depth.
• Work Setup: Remote-first in South Africa.

• →Custom Development: Build programmatic solutions using Apex, LWC, and JavaScript for enterprise applications.
• →System Integration: Connect Salesforce to core legacy systems using MuleSoft, REST/SOAP APIs, and event-driven tools like Kafka or Pub/Sub API.

• →DevOps & Delivery: Set up continuous integration and automated release management using Salesforce DX, Git, and tools like Copado or Gearset.

• Deep hands-on development experience using Apex, LWC, JavaScript, and SOQL.

• Practical knowledge of Salesforce DX, Git version control, and automated deployment tooling.
