Position Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Salesforce DevOps Engineer to support development, testing, and deployment by automating CI/CD pipelines, workflows, managing version control (e.g., Git), and maintaining data integrity within Salesforce environments. You will manage the pipeline security and support the end-to-end releases for multiple Salesforce orgs. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including development, QA, and business stakeholders, to support and execute the releases, weekly, 3-week, and project-based releases. You will also be responsible for back-promoting changes across lower-level orgs to ensure that all environments remain in sync.
As the Salesforce DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for bridging development and IT operations to enable faster, safer releases using tools like Copado or Gearset, while managing metadata, enforcing best practices, and ensuring environment synchronization. You will be mentoring project team members when needed and ultimately ensuring that our multiple Salesforce orgs stay in sync and healthy.

Deployment Execution: Manage deployments of Apex code, Lightning components, and configuration changes across environments. Handle merge conflicts and troubleshoot deployment failures to ensure smooth releases.
Risk Mitigation: Identify potential risks, perform pre-deployment validations, and develop robust rollback strategies to minimize impact on production environments
Back-Promotion: Ensure all changes are accurately back-promoted to lower-level Salesforce orgs to maintain consistency, integrity, and alignment across environments.
Collaboration: Work closely with developers, administrators, and QA teams to coordinate releases, resolve blockers, and support testing cycles.
Monitoring & Governance: Monitoring deployment success, troubleshooting errors, maintaining audit trails, and ensuring compliance.
Data and Backup Management: Implement and manage robust data backup solutions and oversee data migration activities to safeguard critical business information.
Skills:
