This is a mid-level role.

Why this role exists:

The team owns the internal systems that Redgate's commercial operation runs on: Salesforce, Zuora, and the integrations that connect them. It’s a well-established team with a clear purpose, and this role has come up as part of natural team change. You’ll be joining a group that knows what it’s doing and has a meaningful backlog to get stuck into, with genuine ownership from day one and a new tech lead who’s invested in how the team develops.

About Redgate:

Redgate brings together people who want to do their best work in an environment built on trust, accountability, and collaboration. We build solutions that help data professionals securely manage the data and databases that their organisations depend on, a space that’s only becoming more critical as systems scale, data regulations increase, and AI adoption accelerates.

Why join our engineering team?

You’ll work in a team that cares about craft, collaboration, and quality, not hero coding. There’s real scope to grow your skills and impact, with clear pathways and support. We value sustainable delivery, good ways of working and time to improve how we build.

About the role:

This isn’t a traditional Salesforce path. You’ll work across a broader set of systems and problems than most Salesforce roles offer, owning features end-to-end across Salesforce, Zuora, and .NET services, supporting internal users in Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Revenue Ops, and contributing to a team that values how you think as much as what you know. If you’ve done the standard Salesforce track and want more variety, more ownership, and a team that works collaboratively rather than in silos, this is worth a look.

• Own and deliver features end-to-end, from design and build through to deployment and maintenance, without constant oversight.
• Provide direct support to internal stakeholders across Finance, Sales, and Revenue Ops, translating business problems into technical solutions and communicating clearly in both directions.
• Build and extend Salesforce functionality including Apex, Lightning Web Components and Flows, alongside integrations with third-party systems like Zuora Billing and Marketo.
• Contribute to team health through code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing. The team pairs regularly and values people who bring others along with them.
• Lead incident response for key systems, keeping users informed, resolving issues, and following up to prevent recurrence.

What makes you a great fit:

• Solid Salesforce platform development experience including Apex, Lightning Web Components and Flows, with a confident understanding of governor limits, async patterns, and the platform's security model.
• Experience applying established Salesforce design patterns such as bulkification, separation of concerns and trigger frameworks, and the judgement to raise it when they’re not being followed.
• Ability to design and build integrations with third-party systems using REST APIs and event-driven patterns, and to understand how data flows across connected systems.
• Strong communication skills, comfortable talking directly with business stakeholders, translating technical constraints into plain language, and bringing commercial context into technical discussions.
• A proactive, self-directed approach. Able to navigate ambiguity, take ownership of your work, and contribute to improving how the team operates day to day.

What we offer:

• Salary range: £50,000-£60,000
• Hybrid working: home and Cambridge office
• Monthly wellbeing allowance and generous paid time off
• Genuine investment in learning, development, and career progression
• Private health insurance
