As a Salesforce developer in Columbia Road’s Tampere team, you will be working in a high-impact role in the core of our clients’ businesses. You’ll have an integral role in building the Tampere team, your contribution will have a significant influence on our local operations.

This is a great opportunity for you if you are looking to become an expert within the area of digital sales and expand your technical skills and know-how within – and beyond if you like, – the Salesforce ecosystem.
Your job is to create business impact by helping our clients utilise the capabilities of the Salesforce ecosystem to the fullest. You automate business processes and develop and enhance existing solutions that are at the forefront of our clients business. You strive to be a full-stack Salesforce developer, even though your current skills might lean more towards backend or frontend development. You know the core Salesforce setup and configuration capabilities well enough to evaluate when custom development is really needed.
Columbia Road's focus on digital sales means that we are tackling a large variety of projects. These range from Experience Cloud and customer 360 data platform projects to Sales and Service Clouds, CPQ and various integrations, where the Salesforce ecosystem is a key enabler. For a few concrete examples of our relevant cases, take a look at the Framery case of a new partner sales and collaboration channel and full business platform build project for Valokuitunen.

In most of your projects, you will get to work closely with business designers defining which processes to automate and UI/UX designers to build world-class user and customer-facing experiences. As we believe that best results arise from employee freedom, all teams have wide latitude to choose the best tools and ways of working for themselves. We expect you to be mostly into the Salesforce ecosystem while we hope that you want to grow into a Roadie who can recognise where other solutions might be a better fit.
At Columbia Road, we approach projects from a tech agnostic perspective, choosing the technologies that best suit our clients' needs. Depending on your career goals, you can continue deepening your skillset with Salesforce or expand your know-how to other programming languages, technologies, and platforms as well. We see this as a great opportunity for professional growth and are looking for colleagues who also value this. The more experience you have, the more you'll be able to take responsibility for your client projects and help other Roadies grow as well.
