Salesforce Delivery Architect (Insurance & AI)

• Description
• London/Hybrid - Minimum 2 Days in office
• Reporting to: Director of Engineering
• Salary Range: £80-95,000 depending on level and experience plus bonus and benefits

Azur Technology is at the forefront of digitising the insurance sector, working with some of the biggest names in the business to bring innovative and exciting products to market.

We’re a product company, not a consultancy.

We build MGA Connect, our insurance platform on Salesforce, and we build client products on top of it as an embedded team – so the work compounds into the product instead of ending with the engagement.

We're currently 80+ people strong and we have clear plans to scale the business.

We play in the Salesforce stack.

We configure where we can, the platform is built to be configured, not rebuilt and where we genuinely need to build, it’s Lightning Web Components and Apex against our own patterns.

Whatever we do, we want to do it better.

We are now looking for a Delivery Architect to help us significantly reduce time to market of the insurance products we build.

The mechanism is specific: you own the design, you direct a build that is largely skill and agent executed, and you capture what you decide back into our build skills so the whole team gets faster on the next product.

You’ll do that across two to three concurrent client products, with the client in the room throughout.

What's important to us

• Configuration beats code.

MGA Connect is built to be configured, bespoke Apex is a last resort, and anything we do build should leave Managed Services able to change a value without a release

• We're serious about time to market but we are also building for the future
• We strongly believe in the value of good design. We believe it is a primary differentiator in an increasingly crowded insurance marketplace
• We strongly believe in the value of data in insurance
• Our colleagues demonstrate personal accountability

You’re a fit for our team if

• You have an obsession about disruptive technologies and have done something real with at least one
• You have an inkling that insurance is technologically underserved market and are on a mission to make a big impact here
• You have strong, well-informed opinions but are open to being convinced otherwise through thoughtful discussion and debates with your teammates.
• You're scrappy and ready to roll up your sleeves and do what it takes to discover your customer problems and deliver.
• You can't leave a thing alone until you understand how it works
• You have strong interpersonal communication skills. You should be able to communicate, educate and get along with the team.
• You’re excited about the prospect of working with different products and people
• Your first instinct on a new requirement is “can we configure this?”, not “how would I code this?” and you can hold that line with a client who has arrived with a bespoke solution already in mind.
• You’re at ease in front of clients.

You can hold a technical conversation with underwriters, brokers and a client’s own architects, explain a trade-off without jargon, and take challenge without getting defensive.

• You do your best work at pace. Two or three products running at once energises you rather than overwhelms you, and you know how to protect quality when the tempo is high.
• You’ve actually used AI to build software.

Claude Code and its peers have only been in real use since 2025, so we’re not looking for years of it, we want to hear what you’ve built with them, where they saved you time, and where you decided not to trust them.

• You’d rather write the thing that makes ten builds faster than hand-build one of them.

Requirements

• Proven architect or senior technical lead experience owning end-to-end solutions on Salesforce, working with both on and offshore teams.
• Hands on Salesforce development experience, ideally 5+ years, with real depth in Apex and Lightning Web Components.
• A demonstrable bias to configuration over bespoke build and examples where you talked a client, or your own team, out of custom code.
• Strong judgement about exactly where the line between configuration and code should sit, and the confidence to defend it.
• Experience designing for maintainability, so that a support or managed service team can operate and change the product without engineering involvement.
• Deep understanding of Salesforce configuration and declarative automation, including where Flows are the right answer and where they are not.
• Strong experience with Salesforce APIs and integrations (REST/SOAP).
• Experience working with Salesforce coding conventions and standards, Dev Ops practices and CI/CD.
• Knowledge and experience working with Financial Services Cloud highly advantageous.
• Insurance industry experience highly advantageous – MGA, London Market or personal lines especially.
• Full cycle Salesforce implementation experience.
• Ability to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Substantial experience working directly with external clients, including senior and non-technical stakeholders.
• Confident and credible in client facing settings, running technical calls, presenting designs and options, and acting as the client’s go-to technical contact.
• Experience delivering in a high pace environment, owning or contributing to more than one project at the same time, and comfortable switching context without losing the detail.
• Experience working in agile project methodologies.
• Ability to lead by example and to mentor and develop other team members.
• Strong professional communication skills, written and oral.
• Practical, hands on experience using AI coding assistants as part of day to day delivery.

These tools have only been in real world use since 2025, so recent, genuine use matters far more to us than years on a CV.

We’ll want to hear what you’ve built with them, where they saved you time, and where you decided not to trust them.

• An informed view on where AI assisted development does and doesn’t belong in client delivery – code review, testing, IP and data privacy is highly advantageous.
• Experience creating the reusable asset rather than the one-off. a skill, a pattern, a template or internal tooling that measurably made a team faster is a strong signal for this role.
