Salesforce Devops

About the role

We are hiring a Salesforce DevOps Engineer to own how Salesforce changes move from development to production.

• Plan and run release management across sandboxes (Dev, QA, UAT, Staging) and Production, including deployment calendars and go-live checklists.
• Handle metadata and data deployments using Salesforce CLI (sf/sfdx), Metadata API, change sets and unlocked/2GP packages.
• Manage sandbox strategy: refreshes, seeding test data, and keeping environments in sync.
• Automate Apex test runs, static code analysis (PMD, SonarQube, Salesforce Code Analyzer) and code-coverage quality gates.
• Troubleshoot failed deployments and resolve dependency and metadata issues quickly.
• Set up rollback and backup procedures for releases and org data.
• Enforce security, access and compliance standards in the release process.
• Document pipelines and release processes, and coach developers and admins on DevOps best practices.

• Working knowledge of Salesforce CLI (sf/sfdx), Metadata API, package.xml and scratch orgs.
• Experience building pipelines in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps.
• Good understanding of the Salesforce platform: Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, profiles and permission sets, and their deployment dependencies.
• Basic scripting in Shell, Bash, PowerShell or Python.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery and tools such as Jira or Azure Boards.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, IT or equivalent (B.E./B.Tech/MCA/B.Sc).
