Salesforce Forward Deployed Engineer

Job Title: Salesforce Forward Deployed Engineer Company: Badger & Bird Talent Job Category: Salesforce Roles & Responsibilities: Most Salesforce roles fall into one of two traps: you are either stuck doing basic platform config and drag\-and\-drop admin, or you are writing endless functional specs in a consulting agency with zero hands\-on engineering time. This position is built differently. You are embedded directly into enterprise environments as a hands\-on developer, writing production code and architecting complex integrations where standard Salesforce out\-of\-the\-box features hit a wall. What You Will Be Doing * Custom Development: Build programmatic solutions using Apex, LWC, and JavaScript for enterprise applications. * System Integration: Connect Salesforce to core legacy systems using MuleSoft, REST/SOAP APIs, and event\-driven tools like Kafka or Pub/Sub API. * Data Architecture: Design models capable of handling Large Data Volumes (LDV), optimise SOQL/SOSL performance, and ensure strict POPIA/GDPR compliance. * DevOps \& Delivery: Set up continuous integration and automated release management using Salesforce DX, Git, and tools like Copado or Gearset. Work Location: Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Availability: Full time

What Is In It For You * Compensation: Up to R110,000 pm, matching your technical depth. * Work Setup: Remote\-first in South Africa. * Perks \& Progression: Fully funded Salesforce certifications (including Platform Developer II and Architecture tracks), company\-supplied hardware, and annual performance\-based cash bonuses. * Pure Engineering: Skip the endless slide decks and build actual software, from custom Lightning Web Components to automated release pipelines. Key Skills: Salesforce, Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL, SOSL Salary: ZAR 80000 - 110000 per monthly
