Salesforce Developer (UI/UX) at Perk in London with Visa Sponsorship

Perk is seeking a talented Salesforce Developer with a UI/UX focus for a 12-month contract in London. This opportunity is ideal for skilled tech professionals, especially those in Nigeria and across Africa, as visa sponsorship is explicitly available for foreign applicants who need a UK work visa. While the salary is not disclosed, the role offers competitive compensation and equity ownership, alongside comprehensive health and pension benefits.

Job Description

As a Salesforce Developer focusing on UI/UX at Perk, you will be instrumental in redesigning the Salesforce experience for sales and revenue teams. Your primary goal will be to make the CRM faster, clearer, and more intuitive, directly impacting sales productivity and user satisfaction.

This is a hands-on building role where you will audit the current Lightning experience, identify areas for improvement, and then design and prototype enhanced layouts and workflows. You will develop custom Lightning Web Components (LWC) and supporting Apex code to replace standard layouts with focused, user-friendly interfaces, ensuring consistency and maintainability across the platform.

Requirements

• Strong, demonstrable experience building Lightning Web Components in production environments.
• Solid Apex, SOQL, and Salesforce data model knowledge to support your components.
• Deep knowledge of Lightning Experience customisation, including App Builder, Dynamic Forms, page layouts, and console apps.
• Experience with Salesforce DX, Git, and a CI/CD or deployment process.
• A strong UX mindset, enabling you to start from user problems, explain design decisions, and effectively incorporate feedback from non-technical users.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work independently across time zones within a global team.
• Applicants must meet UK visa requirements, and visa sponsorship is available for eligible foreign candidates.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package and equity ownership in Perk.
• Generous annual leave with 25 days plus UK bank holidays.
• Private medical cover with Bupa and voluntary dental insurance for your physical well-being.
• Company pension plan with Aviva to help secure your financial future.
• Life Insurance and income protection for financial security against unforeseen circumstances.
• Access to tax-efficient cycle and electric car schemes.
• Opportunity to participate in unforgettable Perk events.

How to Prepare

For Nigerian and African tech professionals eyeing this Salesforce Developer role, a strategic approach to your application is key. Ensure your CV is meticulously polished, highlighting your LWC, Apex, and UI/UX experience in a UK-centric format, focusing on quantifiable achievements. Your LinkedIn profile should mirror your CV, optimized with keywords relevant to Salesforce development and UK tech roles, showcasing your professional network and endorsements. Given the contract nature, strong references are vital, and be prepared to discuss any professional registrations or background checks (like a DBS check if required for specific roles, though less common for pure tech).

Craft a compelling cover letter that not only addresses your technical prowess but also articulates your understanding of UK workplace culture and your enthusiasm for contributing to Perk’s global team. During interviews, be ready to discuss your visa sponsorship needs confidently and transparently, demonstrating your commitment to navigating the process. Highlight your problem-solving skills, especially how you’ve tackled UI/UX challenges in Salesforce, and show how your experience aligns with the specific requirements of this role.

• Update your CV and LinkedIn with a focus on LWC, Apex, and UI/UX projects, using UK-friendly terminology.
• Prepare a portfolio or examples of your Salesforce UI work (screenshots/demos) to showcase your practical skills.
• Familiarise yourself with Salesforce DX, Git, and CI/CD processes as these are explicitly mentioned.
• Research Perk’s mission and values to tailor your cover letter and interview responses, demonstrating genuine interest.
• Practice articulating your visa sponsorship needs clearly and confidently, alongside your technical expertise, during mock interviews.
