Salesforce Software Engineer

Harrier Limerick, County Limerick, Ireland
Salesforce Software Engineers at Harrier build high-quality, maintainable, and scalable Salesforce solutions. They focus on implementation excellence : translating shaped specifications into robust code, ensuring performance, reliability, and security.
They operate in close collaboration with Product Engineers, who lead framing and shaping. Software Engineers on their end, ensure technical delivery is executed to the highest standards, contributing their expertise in Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, integrations, and DevOps practices.
Salesforce Software Engineers spend most of their time building — coding, testing, debugging, and refining features — while collaborating closely with Product Engineers and QA. Their success is measured by code quality, predictable delivery, and the ability to evolve solutions over time with minimal technical debt.

Build Apex classes, triggers, and services following best practices.
Develop Lightning Web Components and front-end interactions.
Configure Flows, permissions, and declarative features where appropriate.
Integrate Salesforce with external systems using APIs and middleware.
Prototype to validate feasibility and unblock technical assumptions.
Quality & Reliability Write automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end) to ensure reliability.
Conduct peer code reviews and contribute to shared coding standards.
Monitor and improve performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Participate in release management: CI/CD pipelines, Git branching, and deployments.
Surface technical risks, debt, and improvement opportunities to Product Engineers.
Work with Product Engineers to clarify specs, edge cases, and trade-offs.
