Salesforce DevOps Engineer

About The Role

We’re seeking a Salesforce Dev Ops Engineer with strong hands-on experience in Salesforce release engineering, Harness-based CI/CD, and Shell scripting to automate, secure, and scale our delivery pipelines. You’ll lead the end-to-end release process across multiple Salesforce orgs, implement best practices for source-driven development, and orchestrate reliable deployments using Harness and SFDX—while improving speed, quality, and compliance.

• Salesforce Release Engineering
• Own the release lifecycle across sandboxes and production (feature branches → UAT → prod).
• Implement source-driven development with Git (branching strategy, PR validation, merge gates).
• Build pipelines for SFDX-based metadata & unlocked package deployments (retrieve/convert/deploy).
• Maintain data and org shape strategies (scratch orgs, seeding, dependency management).
• Enforce compliance (change controls, audit trails, approvals, segregation of duties) and rollback plans.
• CI/CD with Harness
• Design, build, and maintain Harness pipelines for Salesforce and adjacent services.
• Configure triggers, approvals, canary/blue-green strategies, and environment promotion workflows.
• Integrate secrets management, artifact repositories, quality gates, and monitoring/alerting.
• Automation & Scripting
• Write robust Bash/Shell scripts for pipeline tasks, pre/post-deploy hooks, validations, and log processing.
• Automate static code analysis, unit testing, and packaging (e.g., PMD, ESLint, Jest, Apex tests).
• Create reusable runbooks and self-service automation for engineering teams.
• Quality, Security, & Observability
• Implement quality gates (coverage thresholds, linting policies, SAST/DAST where applicable).
• Monitor pipeline health, MTTR, change failure rate, and deployment frequency; drive continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with architects, developers, QA, and release managers to unblock teams and ship faster.

• 3–5+ years in Dev Ops/Release Engineering (preferably with Salesforce-focused pipelines).
• Hands-on with Salesforce CLI (SFDX), metadata API, and unlocked/package-based deployments.
• Proven experience designing CI/CD pipelines in Harness (or equivalent) with multi-stage promotions.
• Strong Shell/Bash scripting (error handling, idempotency, logging) and Linux fundamentals.
• Git mastery: branching strategies, PR workflows, merge checks, conflict resolution.
• Familiarity with code quality tooling (PMD, ESLint, Prettier, Jest, Apex tests) and test orchestration in CI.
• Excellent troubleshooting skills across pipelines, deployment logs, and environment issues.

• Experience with Gearset, Copado, Flosum, or Jenkins/Git Hub Actions/Azure Dev Ops integrated with Harness.
• Knowledge of Apex, LWC, Aura, and Salesforce metadata nuances (profiles, FLS, permission sets).
• Experience with data seeding/masking (Salesforce sandbox data strategies).
• Cloud exposure:
  Azure (preferred), AWS, or GCP; container basics (Docker/K8s) a plus.
• Security & compliance: SOX/PCI, change management, audit evidence automation.
• Certifications:
  
  Salesforce Platform Dev I/II, Administrator, Dev Ops Center, Harness certs, AZ-900 or similar.

• Salesforce: SFDX, Dev Hub, Unlocked Packages, Scratch Orgs, Dev Ops Center (optional).
• CI/CD:
  Harness (core), plus Git Hub/Git Lab/Azure Repos, Jenkins/Azure Dev Ops as needed.
• Quality: PMD for Apex, ESLint/Jest for JS, Apex tests, Sonar Qube (optional).
• Infra & Ops:
  Linux, Bash, Git, Secrets Manager, Log/Monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Splunk, New Relic).
