Home, a place where you belong


Want to shape how Salesforce works in a place that really makes a difference? If you like the sound of building things that last, solving problems early, and making life easier for the people who rely on the tech you support, this could be the one for you. We're looking for a Salesforce Release Engineer to join our Salesforce Team. It's a brand new role, so you’ll have the chance to shape how we do things right from the start.



You’ll be the go-to for making sure our pipelines are set up and running smoothly, using tools like Gearset and GIT repos (in Azure DevOps) to support and enable an environment for continuous deployment. You’ll also take the lead on our technical relationship with Gearset. This is your chance to help us grow our Salesforce platform in a way that’s future-ready, steady, and genuinely helpful for the whole business.



What you’ll do


  • Keep releases running like clockwork with smart pipelines and version control
  • Own and manage our Gearset and GIT repos setup to keep things smooth and secure
  • Coordinate clear and realistic release schedules that everyone can follow
  • Monitor platform health and keep environments stable, safe and ready for change
  • Spot problems before they grow and work with others to fix them fast
  • Bring a customer-first mindset that puts the people using Salesforce at the heart of everything

Why choose us


Imagine finishing each day knowing you’ve made a real difference in our customers’ lives. That’s exactly what you’ll do here, working for a top 10 Great Place to Work in the UK!



You’ll get the freedom to shape a new role, flex your problem-solving skills and work in a supportive team that values your ideas.



What you bring


  • Proven experience as a Salesforce Release Engineer with at least 3 years in the role
  • Strong skills using Gearset and GIT to manage Salesforce pipelines
  • A natural knack for problem-solving and spotting better ways to do things
  • Comfortable working in agile teams and sharing ideas in daily stand-ups
  • Experience managing Salesforce environments with an eye for stability and security
  • A clear, collaborative way of working that makes things easier for everyone

We’re sorry, but we can’t offer sponsorship for this role due to certificate limits. We do review this regularly.
