Salesforce DevOps Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Salesforce Dev Ops Engineer to support the Salesforce Connected Project. This role will own the end-to-end CI/CD pipeline built on Git Hub Actions, enforce Dev Ops best practices across multiple Salesforce organizations, and serve as the bridge between Salesforce development teams and platform engineering. The project uses a Salesforce DX package-based deployment model with module-level code classification.

The role requires a proactive approach to platform health, quality engineering, automation, release governance, and prevention of issues before they reach higher environments.

• Design, build, and maintain Git Hub Actions workflows for automated Salesforce package deployments across TEST, LOAD, STAGING, EVOLVELOAD, and PROD environments.
• Implement multi-org deployment strategies using SFDX / SF CLI with package-based deployment sequencing aligned to module code classifications.
• Configure and enhance branch protection rules, environment secrets, required reviewers, and deployment gates aligned with Salesforce release governance.
• Optimize pipeline execution times through parallel job strategies, dependency management, and package-version resolution.
• Own the Salesforce DX project structure, including sfdx-project.json, package directory definitions, and configurations across modules.
• Manage DX packages and versioning, dependency graphs, and installation order across target organizations.
• Enforce and evolve module-level code classification strategies, ensuring metadata is mapped to the appropriate package, directory, and deployment path.
• Collaborate with Salesforce architects and developers to resolve inter-package dependencies, circular reference issues, and version-pinning conflicts.
• Manage Git Hub repositories, teams, member access, and organization-level permissions.
• Configure and enforce branch protection rules, CODEOWNERS, required status checks, and merge strategies across repositories.
• Manage Git Hub tokens, secrets, environment variables, and service account credentials using a least-privilege access model.
• Troubleshoot Git Hub Actions failures, including workflow logic errors, runner environment issues, secret resolution failures, and organization-level access conflicts.
• Diagnose environment-level issues such as metadata policies, token expiration, API rate limits, and cross-repository permission errors.
• Maintain audit trails of Git Hub permission changes and access reviews aligned with security and compliance requirements.
• Define, implement, and continuously improve quality gates across the environment promotion chain.
• Implement mandatory PR-level quality gates covering Apex static analysis, LWC linting, Salesforce Code Analyzer scans, minimum 80% code coverage, and metadata compliance.
• Design environment promotion gates that increase in strictness as code moves from TEST, LOAD, STAGING, EVOLVELOAD, and PROD.
• Analyze pipeline failures, deployment errors, and organization-level issues to identify recurring risks and implement automated prevention measures.
• Build pre-deployment validation workflows to identify package installation conflicts, dependency mismatches, and metadata incompatibilities before deployment.
• Implement organization health monitoring for Apex governor limit exposure, Metadata API usage, and deployment success rates.
• Maintain a Quality Gate Runbook documenting gates, validation criteria, pass/fail requirements, and escalation procedures.
• Collaborate with Salesforce developers and architects to promote quality and compliance earlier in the development lifecycle.
• Define and maintain Git branching strategies for multi-package and multi-module Salesforce projects.
• Maintain merge policies, pull request templates, CODEOWNERS…
