About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

The DevOps Architect — Migration Hub is the strategic owner of the CI/CD, environment management and release governance framework that powers all migration wave delivery across the Hub. Sitting at the intersection of platform engineering and delivery operations, this role designs and governs the DevOps infrastructure that enables concurrent migration teams — across Marketing Cloud Next, Agentforce Revenue Management, ITSM and Tableau Next tracks — to deploy, test, validate and release Salesforce configuration, code and data changes at Hub velocity. Unlike the hands-on DevOps Engineer (who operates day-to-day pipelines within a single track), the DevOps Architect operates at the Hub level — defining branching strategy, environment topology, pipeline standards, test automation frameworks, deployment governance and cross-wave dependency management that apply consistently to every track team. This role is accountable for ensuring the Hub never becomes a bottleneck — that release pipelines are fast, reliable, auditable and capable of supporting multiple concurrent go-lives within the same programme window. The DevOps Architect is also responsible for the platform development tooling contribution model — governing how Apex, LWC, Flow and integration code built by track teams is developed, reviewed, tested and promoted through Hub environments to production.

• →Salesforce DX & Source-Driven Development: Expert knowledge of Salesforce DX — scratch org management, SFDX project structure, package development model (unlocked packages, managed packages), metadata API formats and CLI operations for automated deployments.
• →CI/CD Pipeline Engineering: Hands-on expertise building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for Salesforce deployments — using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps or CircleCI combined with Gearset, Copado or custom SFDX scripting for automated validate-test-deploy workflows.
• →Gearset or Copado: Deep practical experience with at least one enterprise Salesforce release management platform — Gearset or Copado — including pipeline configuration, org comparison, deployment validation, rollback management and test execution integration.
• →Git & Branching Strategy: Expert-level Git proficiency — branching model design (GitFlow, trunk-based, environment-branching), merge policy enforcement, PR review standards, release tagging and conflict resolution for Salesforce metadata and Apex code repositories.
• →Salesforce Environment Management: Proven ability to design and manage multi-org environment topologies for large programme delivery — including sandbox refresh automation, org dependency mapping, data masking for lower environments and environment capacity planning.
• →Apex & Platform Development: Strong Apex development skills — Triggers, Batch Apex, Schedulable classes, test class authoring, Governor Limit management — required for building Hub DevOps tooling, automated health check utilities and deployment validation components.
• →Lightning Web Components & Salesforce Flow: Ability to build LWC-based deployment dashboards, pipeline status monitors, release approval UIs and org health dashboards as internal Hub tooling deployed on the Salesforce platform.
• →Test Automation: Experience designing and implementing automated test frameworks for Salesforce — Apex test class architecture, code coverage reporting, LWC Jest unit tests, Selenium/Playwright UI tests and data validation scripts integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• →Static Code Analysis & Security Scanning: Hands-on experience with Salesforce Code Analyser, PMD for Apex, ESLint for LWC and SAST tooling integrated into pipeline quality gates — defining and enforcing code quality and security standards across Hub teams.
• →Secrets & Credential Management: Experience with vault-based secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, GitHub Secrets, Azure Key Vault) for securely managing Salesforce connected app credentials, API tokens and ETL integration credentials across Hub environments.
• →Data Migration Pipeline Integration: Understanding of ETL tool scheduling and orchestration — capable of integrating data migration job execution (Informatica, Talend, ADF, MuleSoft) into the Hub CI/CD framework alongside metadata deployments.
• →Monitoring & Observability: Experience building deployment health dashboards and alerting — using Salesforce native monitoring, GitHub Actions workflow summaries, Grafana, Datadog or similar — for real-time pipeline visibility across concurrent wave deployments.
• →Platform Security: Knowledge of Salesforce connected app security, named credentials, OAuth flows, IP restrictions and certificate-based authentication as they apply to CI/CD automation and Hub environment access control.

• 10–16 years of experience in software engineering, DevOps engineering and Salesforce platform delivery
• 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce DevOps experience — owning CI/CD pipelines, environment management and release governance for large-scale Salesforce programmes
• 3+ years of experience designing DevOps frameworks for multi-track, multi-org Salesforce delivery programmes — managing 4+ concurrent release streams
• Demonstrated experience implementing Hub or programme-level DevOps standards adopted by multiple delivery teams across a shared Salesforce environment
• Proven track record mentoring and setting standards for DevOps Engineers embedded in track delivery teams
• Experience integrating data migration pipeline execution into Salesforce CI/CD workflows — ETL scheduling, bulk load automation and reconciliation validation within deployment pipelines

• Salesforce Platform Developer I (Required)
• Salesforce Platform Developer II (Required)
• Salesforce Certified DevOps Engineer (Required)
• Salesforce Application Architect (Preferred)
• Copado Fundamentals I & II (Preferred)
• Gearset Certified (Preferred)
