Reporting to the Salesforce Platform Manager, we are looking for a Senior Salesforce Developer. You will work closely with various internal stakeholders and third‑party providers to deliver high‑quality Salesforce solutions and operate as a solutions-focused engineer, not just a developer.

• 4-6 years' experience in the CRM domain, with 3+ years in Salesforce implementations
• Strong experience across Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Experience (Community) Cloud
• Advanced skills in Apex (classes, triggers, test methods), Lightning Web Components (LWC), Aura, Visualforce, SOQL and SOSL

• Solid understanding of Salesforce best practices, governor limits and security
• Proven ability to manage priorities, meet deadlines and work independently

Along with joining a passionate, energetic and highly skilled team, this role will allow you to gain exposure to many growth and development opportunities. OES offers a hybrid, flexible approach to work, where we work 2-3 days from our state-of-the-art Cremorne office, and the rest from home (or wherever you choose!). Breakfast, snacks, table tennis, Nintendo Switch are all available in the office, as well as weekly staff drinks. Ultimately, you will be joining a values-driven, collaborative business where your creativity and innovation will be nurtured and celebrated.

We pride ourselves on being a 'People First' employer and if you join the OES Team, you will benefit from:

• Flexible, hybrid work for genuine career-life fit (2-3 days in our Cremorne Office)
• Professional development and mentoring
• OES Culture Club and events calendar
• Health and wellbeing activities
