We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Funeralcare team to help build, maintain, and support Co-op applications and systems – building APIs and pulling together data from across the business using Salesforce core platforms.

At Co-op, collaboration is part of who we are, and we work in small, multi-disciplinary, and agile teams; often using pair and ensemble programming. We’ll provide you with career and technical coaching to support your learning and development, and we run communities of practice to promote knowledge-sharing across our teams.

What you’ll do

•    Work collaboratively to build, maintain, and support Co-op applications and systems
•    Take a ‘hands-on’ approach to developing software iteratively and up to a high standard
•    Lead your colleagues in smaller product teams from a software engineering perspective
•    Share your knowledge and skills with your colleagues as part of our communities of practice sessions
•    Coach, mentor, and support your colleagues in their development
•    Resolve technical challenges, making sure that solutions fulfil our business objectives

What you’ll bring

We’re committed to making our roles as accessible as possible, so we only ask for the minimum criteria. To thrive here, you’ll need to bring:

•    Experience in a hands-on Software Engineering role; implementing and maintaining applications and services on a day-to-day basis
•    Experience using various Salesforce products (e.g. Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Commerce Cloud etc)
•    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.
