You'll build and run opinionated pipelines (Salesforce DX), enforce branching and quality gates, and partner with admins, developers, and business stakeholders to deliver secure, reliable, and frequent releases.

• Define branching strategy (e.g., trunk-based or Gitflow), merge policies, code review standards, and automated validation.
Environment & Org Strategy
• 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.
Quality Automation
• 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.
Release & Change Management

• Maintain deployment runbooks and back-out plans.
Security, Compliance & Observability
• 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.
Data & Integration Support
• 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.
Platform Hygiene & Governance
• Champion metadata rationalization, dependency management, and legacy remediation.
• Coach engineers/admins on DevOps best practices; drive continuous improvement.

Education and Experience

• Salesforce certifications: Salesforce Platform Developer I/II, DevOps Center Specialist, Salesforce Administrator, Integration Architect, or Platform App Builder.
• Experience with Unlocked/Second‑Gen Packaging, Salesforce DevOps Center, and Backup & Restore strategies.
• Exposure to Shield, Event Monitoring, and limit/throughput tuning
