PipeLaunch - Lead Developer
South Africa - Remote
Hi there!
We’re Ben and Sam, and we run PipeLaunch, a startup dedicated to helping businesses maximise their CRM data.
Our software enriches the data that companies have on their customers, giving them more insights to drive better sales.
Whether it’s a Salesforce integration or non-Salesforce development, we’re all about innovation, solving problems, and helping our clients succeed.
We’re a close-knit team with a passion for tech and a love for making things work better.
Working here means joining a fast-paced startup environment where you can truly make a difference.
We take pride in our commitment to accountability, attention to detail, and providing a space where everyone’s ideas are valued. Sound like your kind of place? We hope so!
We’re looking for a Lead Developer. We need someone who’s got solid experience with Salesforce Sales Cloud and a knack for backend development. If you’re the kind of person who can take ownership of projects, lead a small dev team, and deliver high-quality code, we’d love to meet you.
Your main responsibilities will include:
💻 Manage a team of two other developers
🛠 Oversee the backend and create CI/CD integration with our pipeline
🏗 Build architecture for new products (Salesforce and non-Salesforce related)
🚀 Maintain an AppExchange app
🌐 Design and maintain a public REST API
⚡ Perform optimization tasks for low-latency results
🔧 Manage Chrome extension development
This is a full-time role with flexibility, but you’ll need to work within core hours (9am-6pm CET) to stay aligned with the team.
Requirements
To excel in this role, you need experience with:
✅ Node.js
✅ TypeScript
✅ AWS/Cloud platform
✅ Experience publishing apps to the AppExchange
✅ NoSQL databases
Brownie points for:
⭐ Python language
⭐ Experience with ML models/LLM
⭐ Knowledge of the Salesforce ecosystem and CRM implementations
⭐ Data enrichment/scraping projects
⭐ React framework
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a startup environment, has great attention to detail, enjoys tech, and communicates well with both clients and team members. You should be comfortable giving and receiving feedback and willing to take the lead. We are looking for someone that loves tech but at the same time can hold conversations with clients at a business level in order to translate business requirements to roadmap items. Be a player coach.
