Job Description:
About the Role
We're seeking a SF DevOps Engineer with strong hands-on experience in Salesforce release engineering, Harness-based CI/CD, and Shell scripting to automate, secure, and scale our delivery pipelines. You'll lead the end-to-end release process across multiple Salesforce orgs, implement best practices for source-driven development, and orchestrate reliable deployments using Harness and SFDX-while improving speed, quality, and compliance.
Key Responsibilities
Salesforce Release Engineering
o Own the release lifecycle across sandboxes and production (feature branches UAT prod).
o Implement source-driven development with Git (branching strategy, PR validation, merge gates).
o Build pipelines for SFDX-based metadata & unlocked package deployments (retrieve/convert/deploy).
o Maintain data and org shape strategies (scratch orgs, seeding, dependency management).
o Enforce compliance (change controls, audit trails, approvals, segregation of duties) and rollback plans.
CI/CD with Harness
o Design, build, and maintain Harness pipelines for Salesforce and adjacent services.
o Configure triggers, approvals, canary/blue-green strategies, and environment promotion workflows.
o Integrate secrets management, artifact repositories, quality gates, and monitoring/alerting.
Automation & Scripting
o Write robust Bash/Shell scripts for pipeline tasks, pre/post-deploy hooks, validations, and log processing.
o Automate static code analysis, unit testing, and packaging (e.g., PMD, ESLint, Jest, Apex tests).
o Create reusable runbooks and self-service automation for engineering teams.
Quality, Security, & Observability
o Implement quality gates (coverage thresholds, linting policies, SAST/DAST where applicable).
o Monitor pipeline health, MTTR, change failure rate, and deployment frequency; drive continuous improvement.
o Collaborate with architects, developers, QA, and release managers to unblock teams and ship faster.
Required Qualifications
3-5+ years in DevOps/Release Engineering (preferably with Salesforce-focused pipelines).
Hands-on with Salesforce CLI (SFDX), metadata API, and unlocked/package-based deployments.
Proven experience designing CI/CD pipelines in Harness (or equivalent) with multi-stage promotions.
Strong Shell/Bash scripting (error handling, idempotency, logging) and Linux fundamentals.
Git mastery: branching strategies, PR workflows, merge checks, conflict resolution.
Familiarity with code quality tooling (PMD, ESLint, Prettier, Jest, Apex tests) and test orchestration in CI.
Excellent troubleshooting skills across pipelines, deployment logs, and environment issues.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
Experience with Gearset, Copado, Flosum, or Jenkins/GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps integrated with Harness.
Knowledge of Apex, LWC, Aura, and Salesforce metadata nuances (profiles, FLS, permission sets).
Experience with data seeding/masking (Salesforce sandbox data strategies).
Cloud exposure: Azure (preferred), AWS, or Google Cloud Platform; container basics (Docker/K8s) a plus.
Security & compliance: SOX/PCI, change management, audit evidence automation.
Certifications: Salesforce Platform Dev I/II, Administrator, DevOps Center, Harness certs, AZ-900 or similar.
