• Own CI/CD for Salesforce • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Salesforce DX (sfdx/sf), Git (GitHub/GitLab/Azure Repos), and a release toolchain (e.g., Copado/Gearset/AutoRABIT/Jenkins). • Define branching strategy (e.g., trunk-based or Gitflow), merge policies, code review standards, and automated validation. • Manage sandboxes, scratch orgs, and packaging: org shape, seeding, data masking, and refresh cadence. • Establish source-driven development with unlocked/second-gen packages when appropriate. • Integrate unit and integration tests (Apex tests, Jest for LWC), metadata diffs, and deployment validation (check-only). • Set quality gates (test coverage thresholds, rulesets) and break-glass procedures. • Run release trains, release notes, approvals, and change calendars. • Maintain deployment runbooks and back-out plans. • Enforce least privilege, profile/permission set migration, Health Check, Shield (if licensed), secrets management, and audit trails. • Implement monitoring and alerting on deployment pipelines and platform limits; track MTTR, change failure rate, and deployment frequency. • Orchestrate data migrations (Data Loader, sfdmu, Bulk API 2.0) with idempotent scripts and mapping. • Coordinate with integration platforms (MuleSoft, Boomi, Kafka, Azure) for versioned, backward-compatible changes. • Champion metadata rationalization, dependency management, and legacy remediation. • Coach engineers/admins on DevOps best practices; drive continuous improvement.
