Salesforce Developer London, England
Job description
About Purlos
We are one of the fastest-growing education technology startups based in the UK.
Our team is on a mission to facilitate 10 million students get into the education they deserve by 2025. We are doing this by helping students connect with colleges via WhatsApp and helping them in issues instead of more traditional ways like emails and online forms.
What product will you be working on?
The current student experience for making an application to a college and figuring out what course to take is slow, ineffective and not fit for purpose. We flip this problem on its head by enabling students to get all the knowledge they need at their fingertips so that they can make better decisions faster.
Our product is a human-assisted chatbot that guides the students to figure out the most optimal path for their success. It is fully salesforce native and some of our recent projects have involved building LWC components for WhatApp chat, using Einstein AI for sentiment analysis and developing a multi-tenant scripted chatbot in Salesforce.
What is in it for you?
We believe that Developers work best when they work in small mission-driven teams and focus on customer problems. You will be given a lot of autonomy to figure out ways with your colleagues on how best to solve those problems and we will trust you to make some really important decisions.
We also believe in deep work and that working from home is the best way to achieve our goals. We will provide you with the means to organise your home workspace. We also believe that by investing in your continuous learning our product will have an even more powerful impact on the lives of the students.
