The Opportunity

This is not a traditional Salesforce DevOps role focused on maintaining pipelines; this is an opportunity to own and evolve a modern, source-driven Salesforce delivery ecosystem at scale. As a Salesforce DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for transforming how Salesforce applications are built, packaged, validated, and released by fully embracing Salesforce DX, CI/CD automation, and Second-Generation Packaging.

You'll play a critical role in moving teams away from fragile, manual release processes and toward high-frequency, reliable, and secure deployments. Your work will directly impact product stability, engineering velocity, and customer trust. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on automation, takes proactive ownership, and enjoys influencing how engineering teams operate at scale.

What You'll Do

As a Salesforce DevOps Engineer, you'll design and drive a source-driven development and release strategy that supports multiple scrum teams delivering frequently and safely. You'll build and optimise CI/CD pipelines that validate, test, secure, and package Salesforce metadata automatically — ensuring every release is predictable and production-ready.

You'll work closely with developers, architects, and release stakeholders to manage package modularity, dependencies, and branching strategies. From troubleshooting complex deployment failures to improving pipeline performance and release cadence, you'll ensure that Salesforce delivery is fast, scalable, and resilient. Your role will go beyond execution — you'll actively identify risks, prevent incidents, and continuously improve DevOps maturity across teams.
