Senior Technical Consultant

Job Description
- Collaborate with client stakeholders to define requirements, deliverables and manage expectations across all migration factory tracks — acting as the DevOps point of contact for both internal track teams and client release management leads.
- Assess existing DevOps processes, tools and practices at the start of each migration engagement — recommending targeted improvements to branching strategy, environment management, deployment models and quality gate maturity to align with factory standards.
- Design, present and implement best-fit DevOps solutions considering customer needs, tool preferences and commercial constraints — selecting and configuring the right combination of Gearset, Copado, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or GitLab CI for each wave context.
- Drive the selection and implementation of DevOps tools and technologies across the Migration Factory — evaluating tooling against factory requirements for multi-org support, concurrent wave isolation, metadata conflict management and automated test integration.
- Lead the setup and execution of Salesforce DevOps frameworks for small-to-medium migration waves — independently owning pipeline design, environment provisioning, branching setup, quality gate configuration and go-live cutover automation from kickoff to production release.
- Collaborate closely with Technical Architects and track leads on larger migration engagements — translating complex multi-track solution designs into phased deployment pipelines, environment dependency sequences and release governance procedures.
- Ensure successful continuous delivery deployments across environments — maintaining environment pyramid integrity (Dev → SIT → UAT → Pre-Prod → Production) across all tracks, with automated promotion gates, sandbox refresh scheduling and environment health monitoring.
- Collaborate with Salesforce product teams to support client implementations — escalating platform DevOps issues, validating metadata API behaviours for new feature releases and incorporating Salesforce-recommended deployment patterns as they evolve.
- Design and own the Migration Factory's CI/CD pipeline architecture — building and maintaining shared GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or GitLab CI pipelines that orchestrate environment provisioning, metadata deployment, automated testing, quality scanning and environment promotion across all product tracks.
- Implement source-driven development standards — enforcing Salesforce DX project structure, package-based or source-tracked deployment patterns & metadata API versioning.
- Lead cutover pipeline design and automation — building automated cutover deployment scripts, pre-cutover validation checklists, automated smoke test suites and post-cutover health dashboards that each track team executes on go-live night.
- Build and maintain the DevOps accelerator library — developing reusable pipeline templates, custom GitHub Actions, SFDX wrapper utilities and deployment configuration manifests that reduce pipeline setup time for each new migration wave.
- Govern metadata versioning and conflict resolution — managing metadata conflict resolution protocols when concurrent track teams modify shared metadata objects, defining org-level metadata ownership maps and merge arbitration procedures.
- Define and report on DevOps metrics — establishing and reporting on pipeline health KPIs including deployment success rate, pipeline execution time, code coverage trends, test failure rates, environment availability and cutover execution accuracy.
- Participate in Architecture Review Board (ARB) — representing the DevOps perspective in all ARB sessions, reviewing track solution designs for CI/CD compatibility, environment feasibility and deployment risk, and enforcing factory DevOps standards.
- Support developer onboarding and DevOps enablement — running internal enablement sessions for track STC and TC teams on Salesforce DX, Git workflows, pipeline usage and local development environment setup, reducing onboarding ramp time.
