Salesforce DevOps Engineer (Senior-Level)

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Salesforce DevOps Engineer to lead release engineering and CI/CD execution across a large-scale Salesforce platform environment.

This role is responsible for how Salesforce changes are built, validated, version-controlled, promoted across environments, and deployed into production. While solution architecture and product teams define functional design and standards, this position ensures those designs are delivered through secure, automated, repeatable, and auditable DevOps processes.

The focus of this role is operational execution, deployment standardization, and platform reliability — not high-level enterprise strategy.

Primary Responsibilities

CI/CD Strategy & Deployment Automation

• Architect, implement, and maintain standardized CI/CD pipelines for Salesforce development teams.

• Design automated build, validation, and deployment workflows using Salesforce DX and Git-based processes.

• Establish and enforce quality gates including automated testing, static code analysis, and validation checks.

• Ensure deployments are predictable, traceable, and include clearly defined rollback strategies.

• Reduce manual deployment steps and eliminate inconsistencies across environments.

• Define non-functional deployment standards related to reliability, stability, and risk control.

Release Engineering & Production Support

• Design structured promotion paths across development, testing, staging, and production environments.

• Partner closely with Release Management to execute deployment plans.

• Lead technical execution during production releases, including sequencing and rollback coordination.

• Maintain full auditability and traceability of changes.

• Support go-live stabilization and post-release validation.

Required Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Salesforce platform (e.g., Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Financial Services implementations).

• Expertise in Salesforce DX, Salesforce CLI, and metadata-driven deployments.

• Advanced knowledge of Git workflows and CI/CD architecture.

• Experience with Salesforce DevOps tools such as Flosum, Copado, Gearset, or AutoRABIT.

• Proven experience integrating CI/CD pipelines with automated QA testing frameworks.

• Experience operating in agile delivery environments.

• Demonstrated success driving DevOps standardization across multiple teams.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Senior-level engineer with deep technical ownership of deployment processes.

• Comfortable collaborating with Product, Architecture, QA, and Release teams.

• Strong focus on automation, repeatability, and risk reduction.

• Capable of enforcing best practices while enabling delivery velocity.

• Detail-oriented with strong operational discipline.
