Manchester, Greater Manchester | £65,000 - £70,000 | Permanent

Senior Salesforce Developer

Location: Manchester (remote-first, ~1 day/month onsite)
Salary: Up to £70,000

We're working with a growing B2B-focused organisation looking to hire a Senior Salesforce Developer into a small, high-impact team.

This role has opened up off the back of a senior leadership shift, creating a genuine gap for someone to step in and take more ownership of how Salesforce is delivered across the business.

It's still a hands-on engineering role-but with more influence. You'll be expected to guide delivery, lead Agile ceremonies, and act as a senior voice within the team, while working closely with stakeholders on shaping solutions.

What you'll be doing
  • Designing and building Salesforce solutions across the full lifecycle
  • Working closely with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions
  • Leading Agile ceremonies and helping drive delivery standards
  • Acting as a senior point of contact within the team-supporting others and setting direction
  • Delivering configuration, customisation, and integration work across the platform
  • Supporting releases, troubleshooting issues, and driving continuous improvement
What they're looking for
  • Strong Salesforce development experience (Apex, SOQL, APIs)
  • Experience working on CRM projects and integrating complex systems
  • Solid grounding in software engineering principles and design patterns
  • Comfortable owning work end-to-end-from design through to deployment
  • Experience working in Agile environments (leading ceremonies is a plus)
  • Someone who can communicate well with stakeholders-not just operate in isolation
  • Experience with relational databases and ETL tools is beneficial
Why it's worth a look
  • Clear step up in responsibility while staying hands-on
  • Opportunity to shape how the team operates as things evolve
  • Remote-first setup with minimal travel (roughly once a month)
  • Small team, meaningful impact-no layers of unnecessary process

If this role is of interest, please apply or contact Stuart Manderson at Cathcart Technology for more information.

Our clients

Candidates

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton
