Why Redian, and why this shape of team
You've landed here because you need Salesforce developers for a team based in or serving Dublin, Ireland, and you're weighing whether to hire locally, use a marketplace, or engage a delivery partner. This page explains how Redian Software delivers exactly that engagement — Salesforce developers aligned to Dublin business hours (GMT / IST), in either a remote or onsite model, on a commercial framework that scales from a single engineer to a full offshore cell.
Salesforce Developers — what our engineers actually do
Redian's Salesforce practice runs across the platform — Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Experience Cloud, Financial Services Cloud and Nonprofit Cloud — plus deep custom work in Apex, LWC (Lightning Web Components), Flow, and the integration layer via MuleSoft or Platform Events. Our engineers ship real production Salesforce: managed packages, ISV partner extensions, API-first architectures, and clean migrations from legacy CRM or on-prem.
Seniority mix: administrators / configurators (2–4 yrs), developers (4–8 yrs, own Apex, LWC, integrations, tests), and solution architects (8+ yrs).
The Dublin context
Dublin's tech scene is defined by the European HQs of Google, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Stripe and Amazon, plus a growing base of Irish scale-ups — which pushes the local engineer salary floor to the top of Europe. GDPR posture, DPC alignment, and multi-jurisdictional data-residency are procurement baseline.
In Dublin specifically
In Dublin specifically, Redian's Salesforce engineers extend the European HQ base of Google, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, LinkedIn and Stripe — often supporting the internal transformation programmes those companies run in-region, plus Irish scale-ups building CRM on the Salesforce platform.
Remote engagement — the mechanics
Remote engagement is our default delivery model. Engineers work from Redian's delivery centres in India, join your calls at your local hours, use your tools (Slack, Jira, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Notion — whatever), and integrate with your existing workflow. You don't run their laptops, you don't manage their leave, you don't handle their tax — Redian does. Named engineers show up on your standups from day one.
Security controls that pass procurement. Managed Redian-issued devices with MDM, disk encryption and endpoint DLP; corporate VPN into your infra where you require it; IAM-integrated access (SSO, MFA, least-privilege); signed NDA and IP-assignment on every engineer; pen-test and SOC 2 evidence on request. The people you talk to are FTEs on Redian's payroll, not marketplace contractors.
Time-zone overlap. We commit to a written working-hours overlap in the SOW — typically 4–6 hours of your Dublin business day. Standups, code review, incident response and demos happen inside that overlap. Everything after is asynchronous with a written handover so you pick up the next morning.
Onsite engagement — the mechanics
For clients whose delivery model needs on-the-ground presence — regulator-mandated controls, hardware access, in-room collaboration with an internal team, or leadership preference — Redian deploys engineers to your Dublin location on a per-diem or medium-term contract. We handle visa, work-permit, accommodation and travel logistics from our side; you provide the desk, badging, and access to the systems the engineer will touch.
Commercials. Onsite carries a different rate card than remote — day-rate is higher to cover the engineer's living cost and per-diem, and minimum engagement is usually 3 months to make the mobilisation worthwhile. We can also blend the models: a small onsite core (2–3 engineers) plus a larger remote build team, so you get the trust of physical presence without the cost of an all-onsite ramp.
Mobilisation timelines. 4–10 weeks depending on visa category (which we own end-to-end). If you need someone physically present sooner, we start remote from day one and switch to onsite as the visa lands — the same engineer, no handover.
Commercials and how to start
Rates depend on the exact seniority mix, engagement model (remote vs onsite) and length. As a rule: a remote Salesforce developer from Redian lands well below the loaded cost of the equivalent local hire in Dublin, without dropping seniority. Onsite adds per-diem and mobilisation to the day-rate. Minimum engagement is one month for remote, three months for onsite. Rate card, sample CVs and reference clients in your industry — happy to send those on the first call, subject to NDA.
How the first two weeks look: we scope roles, engagement model, seniority mix and start date on a 30-minute discovery call. We share 3–5 CVs matched to the brief within 3 business days. You interview shortlist candidates directly. Chosen engineer(s) start inside 1–2 weeks remote, 4–10 weeks if onsite mobilisation is needed.
No lock-in, no minimum quarter. If an engineer isn't a fit inside the first two weeks, we swap them, no charge. If you need to scale up or down mid-engagement, we do it — that flexibility is the whole point of engaging a partner instead of hiring FTEs.
