• Perform release readiness reviews, deployment validation, dependency analysis, package verification, and post-deployment validation.
• Automate manual release checks and controls to improve efficiency and reduce human error.
• Implement and maintain automated code-quality and static-analysis controls, including quality gates.
• Support the proposed Salesforce environment restructuring and governance model across sandboxes and Production.
• Monitor environment and repository alignment and identify metadata and source-control discrepancies.
• Analyze deployment failures and release incidents, participate in RCA, and convert findings into preventive controls.
• Improve Copado configuration, branching, promotion, validation, and release processes.
• Develop release dashboards and metrics covering release efficiency, quality, DevOps maturity, and process compliance.
• Maintain release procedures, standards, documentation, and developer training materials.
• Partner with Salesforce architects, developers, QA, business teams, and Release Management to continuously improve delivery practices.

Top Preferred Skills

• DevOps: Copado, Git/source control, CI/CD concepts, branching and merging, release management, and environment strategy.
• Quality: Salesforce Code Analyzer, PMD, or equivalent static-analysis tooling; automated validation, testing, and quality gates.
• Integration & Automation: Jira integration, REST APIs, and scripting or automation experience.
• Operational: Strong troubleshooting and RCA skills, with the ability to identify systemic improvements rather than only resolving individual deployment issues.
