Aforza aims to transform the lives of every consumer on the planet by helping the world’s best Consumer Goods companies become more agile, efficient, productive, and sustainable. We do this by introducing never-before-seen capabilities, including 'Active' Customer Segmentation, Real-Time Promotion Execution and AI-driven Predictive Ordering.

At Aforza, we feel lucky to rub shoulders with some of the finest talent available in our industry. If you are looking for the opportunity to learn from others and challenge yourself, there is no better place to be. We are a young, well-funded and fast-moving company. We recognise the exceptional talent we are lucky to have in our team and reward them accordingly.

About the Role

Aforza is looking for a Mid to Senior Software Engineer to join our Salesforce engineering team, located in Cardiff, where you will be working with a friendly team of highly talented engineers building out Aforza’s industry-leading cloud solutions. In this role, you’ll be working across the full stack of our Aforza Salesforce products, an advanced Retail Execution and Trade Promotion Management solution, and have the opportunity to work on both frontend and backend.

You will be involved in the entire development lifecycle, from design and analysis to development and testing of new features. The ideal candidate will be eager to join a fast-paced, dynamic environment where every employee has a direct impact on the company’s success.

Tech Stack

At Aforza we use the latest, cutting edge, Salesforce technologies. These include Lightning Web Components (JS/CSS/HTML), APEX (OO language similar to Java / C#), and SOQL (SQL). The ideal candidate will either have familiarity with these technologies or similar stacks. Along with these traditional technologies, we are also integrated with several different areas of the Aforza stack, including Studio (GCP / Node.js / Kubernetes), Aforza Field (ReactNative), and Aforza AI (OpenAI). Being able to understand and talk to these different services would be beneficial.

What You'll Do

• Develop new frontend and backend features on Aforza Consumer Goods
• Develop Restful APIs in APEX
• Build new features on our LWC web UI
• Write unit tests using Jest and APEX Tests
• Perform code reviews on the team’s pull requests
• Take part in all aspects of SCRUM, including sprint planning, reviews, retros and backlog estimation

What We Are Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer who is now looking to embark on a new challenge with an amazing team of engineers. Ideally you are someone who has:

• Experience with Salesforce technologies
• Ideally holds multiple Salesforce certifications
• Strong frontend development experience building beautiful UIs using web technologies
• Backend development experience in APEX or Java / C#
• Experience with SOQL or SQL databases
• Experience structuring and developing REST APIs
• Good understanding of unit testing frameworks
• Ability to identify areas of code improvement and opportunities to refactor

You might not have all of the above, but don’t let that stop you. We’re excited to hear from anyone who is keen and has a real passion for engineering.

Compensation / Benefits

Working at Aforza is awesome! We offer a flexible working environment and our engineers are able to work where they’re most comfortable - whether that’s at home, in our brand new office or a mix of both. We tend to work from home most of the time, but we like to get to the office once or twice a fortnight to get some face-to-face time with each other.

• Work on cutting edge technologies with world leading customers
• Competitive salaries
• Stock options
• 25 days PTO & bank holidays
• Pension
• Private health cover & income protection
• Flexible hours and hybrid remote / office working
• Fantastic, brand new office space in the heart of Cardiff city centre
