DevOps Engineer III
DevOps Engineer IIIThe job description is fairly generic and reflects broader DevOps capabilities, but the specific need for this role is centered on Salesforce DevOps, Release Engineering, and Platform Operations maturity.

We are looking for an engineer who can own and evolve how software moves through our Salesforce delivery lifecycle. Key areas of ownership include: Release engineering and deployment orchestrationCI/CD ownership and continuous improvement Gearset platform and pipeline ownership Environment strategy, refresh planning, and governance Release readiness standards and deployment governance Risk identification and operational maturity improvements Automation of manual processes Cross-functional partnership across development, QA, admin, and leadership The ideal candidate has experience entering environments with fragmented or inconsistent processes and successfully implementing scalable, automated, and reliable delivery practices. How to prioritize candidates: Strong DevOps fundamentals are critical (CI/CD design, Git-based workflows, automation, pipeline ownership) Salesforce experience is valuable, especially around metadata deployments, environment strategy, and platform-specific release challenges, but it is not required if the candidate has strong DevOps depth and can ramp quickly If we have to prioritize, we are looking for someone who: Has owned and improved delivery systems at scale (not just operated them) Brings a DevOps engineering mindset first, and can apply it to Salesforce Ideal profile: a blend of DevOps engineering strength + enough Salesforce/platform exposure (or ability to ramp quickly).
