  • Implement and refine CI/CD pipelines and automated testing approaches for Salesforce to improve release quality, speed, and consistency.
  • Configure and maintain Salesforce features such as custom objects, fields, validation rules, automation, and security settings to meet evolving business needs.
  • Oversee sandbox strategy, including refresh schedules, data seeding, and environment alignment, to support ongoing development, testing, and user acceptance.
  • Execute data imports, exports, and mass updates using Data Loader and related tools, while maintaining data quality and integrity across environments.
  • Monitor Salesforce system performance and release health, troubleshoot issues, and drive root cause analysis and remediation for deployment and configuration problems.
  • Partner closely with Enterprise Applications and cross-functional stakeholders to plan, communicate, and validate releases, including impact analysis, rollback plans, and post-deployment reviews.

What you'll bring

  • 4 to 5 years of Salesforce administration experience with deep platform configuration and user management expertise.
  • Hands-on release management experience using Salesforce deployment tools such as Salesforce DX, Change Sets, Copado, or Gearset.
  • Strong understanding of DevOps practices for Salesforce, including continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), automated testing, and multi-environment release strategies.
  • Proven experience managing coordinated release cycles across Development, Sandbox, UAT, and Production orgs, including impact analysis and rollback planning.
  • Proficiency with Salesforce data management tools (for example, Data Loader) for imports, exports, data quality maintenance, and mass updates.
  • Practical knowledge of Git or similar version control systems, including common branching and merge workflows for Salesforce metadata.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a distributed, remote environment.
  • Self-motivated and organized, with a process-oriented mindset and a commitment to GitLab's values, inclusive culture, and continuous improvement.
