Job Summary
We are seeking a Salesforce DevOps & Release Engineer to manage our platform stability, sandbox architecture, and deployment lifecycles. The ideal candidate will build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines, orchestrate metadata migrations, establish branching strategies, and minimize environment friction across multi-stream development teams.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and optimize automated CI/CD pipelines specifically tailored for Salesforce metadata deployment using modern enterprise DevOps tooling.
Manage the end-to-end sandbox lifecycle, including environment creation, standard and partial refreshes, data masking setups, and org alignment tracking.
Establish and enforce source control branching models (e.g., GitFlow, trunk-based) to enable simultaneous, conflict-free multi-track development streams.
Coordinate package-based and org-based deployments using Salesforce CLI, Salesforce DX (SFDX), and custom automated scripting.
Automate code quality and security gates, integrating static code analysis engines (such as PMD, SonarQube, or Salesforce Code Analyzer) into build pipelines.
Orchestrate scratch org structures and test-data seeding profiles to optimize automated execution runs within automated testing suites.
Lead release triage efforts, resolving intricate metadata package merge conflicts, component dependency mismatches, and deployment failures across production drops.

Strong technical mastery of specialized Salesforce release management platforms (e.g., Copado, Gearset, Flosum) or cloud CI/CD infrastructure (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
