Hi,
My name is Deepankar, and I am a Sr. Recruiter with LinQ Global. I am reaching out regarding an exciting Salesforce Platform Engineering / Senior Salesforce DevOps Engineer opportunity
If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact me directly at and send me a copy of your updated resume.
I’d like to share a brief overview of the position:
Role: Salesforce Platform Engineering / Senior Salesforce DevOps Engineer
Location: Onsite, Chicago: Tuesday - Thursday - hybrid
Duration: Long Term
We are seeking an experienced Senior Salesforce DevOps Engineer to join a large-scale,
enterprise Salesforce delivery organization operating with 10+ POD/Scrum teams. This role is
critical to modernizing, stabilizing, and scaling our Salesforce DevOps practices on Azure
DevOps. The ideal candidate will bring deep Salesforce CI/CD expertise, strong problem-solving
skills, and a passion for engineering excellence. They will be responsible for diagnosing and
resolving significant existing challenges in our release pipeline and driving long-term
improvements across the DevOps lifecycle.
Repository & Org Synchronization
* Establish and enforce a reliable, automated source of truth between Salesforce orgs and the
Azure DevOps Git repository
* Design and implement processes to ensure Production org and Master branch are always in
* Eliminate code overwrite and rework caused by org/repo inconsistencies
* Architect org-from-repo deployment strategies to ensure environments are always
created/refreshed from version-controlled source
Pipeline Optimization & Performance
* Redesign and optimize CI/CD pipelines to significantly reduce overall execution time
(current baseline: 20–30 minutes for single-component deployments)
* Implement shallow clones, artifact caching, and incremental checkout strategies to address
large repository sizes (~4.5GB)
* Introduce dedicated build agents/runners to eliminate shared-agent contention
* Optimize dependency installation, SonarQube, and SNYK scan execution within pipelines
* Implement Git delta deployment strategies (branch-to-branch comparison) for efficient,
component-level deployments
* Reduce Apex test class execution time (current baseline: ~6 hours) through parallel test
execution, test selection optimization, and test impact analysis strategies
Release Management & Multi-Train Support
* Design and manage DevOps processes supporting multiple release trains: Major Release (6-
week), Short Sprint (2-week), Anytime/Micro, Hotfix, and Hypercare (1-week post-MR)
* Architect environment strategies to isolate different release streams — eliminating the risk
of shared UAT environment conflicts across concurrent release tracks
* Establish clear environment promotion paths and minimize back-sync conflicts when
syncing changes from Production
* Support increasing release frequency and volume with scalable, repeatable pipeline
Rollback, Hotfix & Revert Capabilities
* Design and implement automated rollback mechanisms within the pipeline to support last-
* Address Git cherry-pick limitations by establishing feature-branch and commit strategies
that enable clean, isolated feature reverts
* Enable safe, low-risk hotfix and anytime deployment processes that do not disrupt ongoing
* Establish rollback runbooks and automated validation checks post-rollback
Code Review & PR Automation
* Reduce manual bottlenecks in the pull request approval process through automation,
tooling, and workflow improvements
* Implement automated PR checks (code quality gates, conflict detection, metadata
validation) to reduce dependency on manual reviewer availability
* Integrate AI-assisted or rules-based code review tools to accelerate the review cycle
* Enforce branch policies and PR standards across all POD teams
Environment Management & Sandbox Governance
* Design a scalable sandbox/environment strategy that supports multiple release trains in
* Automate QA and UAT sandbox refresh processes, including management of external
* Enforce feature branch hygiene policies — including automated branch deletion post-merge
to prevent conflicts and outdated code overwrites
* Document and enforce environment access controls and promotion gates
Post-Deployment Validation & Feature Flags
* Automate post-deployment validation steps, including feature flag/dark-deploy state
verification (hide/unhide functionality)
* Build automated verification pipelines to confirm flag states post-deployment, reducing
manual intervention and human error
* Reduce deployment window durations through scripted, repeatable post-deployment steps
* Build tooling and processes to identify, document, and manage Salesforce component
dependencies and inter-relationships across teams and releases
* Prevent deployment failures caused by missing or conflicting dependent components
* Integrate dependency mapping into pipeline gates and deployment planning
Simplification & Developer Experience
* Reduce developer time spent on code migration between repos and orgs (current baseline:
20–30% of developer time)
* Simplify the DevOps infrastructure, tooling, and processes to reduce the steep learning
curve for new POD teams onboarding
* Create self-service pipeline templates and onboarding guides for new scrum teams
* Actively reduce complexity of DevOps infrastructure to streamline maintenance and updates
Training & Knowledge Enablement
* Bridge knowledge gaps across development teams in CI/CD tooling, conflict resolution, and
* Develop and deliver training sessions, workshops, and documentation for Salesforce
developers across POD teams
* Build a DevOps community of practice to share knowledge and standardize practices across
* 5+ years of experience in Salesforce DevOps engineering, platform engineering, or release
* Deep hands-on expertise with Azure DevOps (Pipelines, Repos, Boards, Artifacts)
* Strong experience with Salesforce DX (SFDX), Salesforce CLI, and metadata API-based
* Proficiency in Git version control, branching strategies (GitFlow, trunk-based), and merge
* Experience with delta deployment tools (e.g., SFDX Git Delta, Copado, Gearset, or equivalent)
* Experience in establishing, building and maintaining DevOps process & Governance in a
large enterprise Salesforce org (1000+ end users) delivery with 5+ POD/Scrum teams
* Hands-on experience with SonarQube and SNYK (or equivalent SAST/SCA tools) integration
* Experience managing Salesforce sandbox environments, refreshes, and org strategy design
* Strong scripting skills: Bash, Python, or PowerShell for pipeline automation
* Demonstrated experience supporting multi-team, multi-release-train delivery models
* Familiarity with feature flags / dark deployment patterns in Salesforce
* Strong understanding of Salesforce metadata types, component relationships, and
* Experience with Salesforce release management tools such as Copado, Gearset, AutoRABIT,
* Familiarity with YAML-based pipeline authoring in Azure DevOps
* Experience with self-hosted Azure DevOps agents configuration and maintenance
* Knowledge of Apex test optimization, parallel test execution, and test impact analysis
* Salesforce certifications (e.g., Salesforce Administrator, Platform Developer I/II, DevOps
* Experience with AI-assisted code review tools or GitHub Copilot integrations
* Familiarity with Salesforce Flow, OmniStudio, or industry cloud deployments
