- Coach, mentor, and support your colleagues in their development
- Resolve technical challenges, making sure that solutions fulfil our business objectives
This role would suit people who have
- Experience in a hands-on Software Engineering role; implementing and maintaining applications and services on a day-to-day basis
- Experience using Salesforce Service Cloud
- Experience building synchronous and asynchronous Apex classes as well as building and maintaining standard and custom APIs
- Experience of tooling and practices for automated build, integration, and deployment, as well as developing iteratively towards an end-goal
- A good understanding of TDD and expertise in writing Apex test classes
- Good coaching and mentoring skills, with the ability to support your colleagues in their development
We know that some candidates are less likely to apply for a role if they don't meet all the criteria in the job description. At Co-op, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive working environment, so if you'd like to apply for this role but your experience doesn't quite meet every point, we'd still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for the job or other roles we have available.
