Key Responsibilities

• Copado Pipeline Management
• Administer, design, and optimize CI/CD pipelines in Copado, leveraging User Stories and Promotions to manage Salesforce metadata and complex deployment flows across multiple environments.
• Manage repository integrations within Copado; implement effective branching strategies and resolve merge conflicts to support parallel development efforts.
• Configure Quality Gates by integrating static code analysis (PMD) and Apex unit tests to improve code quality and increase test coverage.
• Upgrade and tune Copado to the latest version; troubleshoot pipeline failures and keep the delivery pipeline healthy (including nightly builds and back-promotions).
• Environment Management
• Own the lifecycle and hygiene of all Salesforce environments — development, integration, QA, staging/UAT, pre-production, and full-copy sandboxes.
• Execute sandbox data deployments and data-masking procedures for UAT/staging using Copado Data Deploy or similar tools, ensuring high-fidelity and secure test data.
• Manage environment provisioning, refreshes, capacity, decommissioning, and access controls with minimal disruption to teams.
• Deployments
• Work closely with developers, admins, testers, and release managers to plan, coordinate, and lead deployment activities end to end and minimize production risk.
• Validate release readiness, manage deployment runbooks and rollback plans, and perform post-deployment verification.
• Act as the deployment coordinator when issues arise — leading triage, mitigation, and stakeholder communication.
• Build Automation
• Automate builds and deployments to eliminate manual steps and enable repeatable, auditable delivery.
• Establish and maintain nightly builds and automated validation; integrate automated testing, security scanning, and compliance checks into the pipeline.
• Continuously identify automation opportunities to reduce cycle time and deployment risk.
• Weekly Production Deployments
• Work closely with the Project Manager and Release Manager to plan and execute weekly deployments to Production.
• Coordinate release schedules, change approvals, and go/no-go readiness across Dev, QA, and business stakeholders.
• Support end-to-end release activities: deployment planning, validation, rollback support, and release documentation.
• Governance & Continuous Improvement
• Maintain repository hygiene and version-control best practices in GitHub and GitLab; ensure compliance with deployment standards, security requirements, and Salesforce best practices.
• Define and track DevOps KPIs (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate); lead retrospectives and drive tooling and process improvements.
