You Are
You are the kind of engineer who sees a manual deployment step and immediately starts thinking about how to automate it. A broken deployment can block an entire team, and you take genuine ownership of making that risk small and predictable. You move comfortably between hands-on Salesforce development and the release tooling that ships it, understanding that a good pipeline is as much a product as any Lightning component.
Clear communication matters to you. When something is changing, you explain what, why, and what could go wrong, so developers, admins, and stakeholders trust the release process rather than fear it. You take pride in clean User Stories, well-organized promotion paths, and a Git history that actually tells the story of what happened. Repeatable, documented processes beat one-off fixes every time in your book.
Turning a chaotic release cycle into a calm, predictable rhythm energizes you. At Synopsys, you will work with a team that takes this work seriously, where the pipelines you build directly affect how quickly and safely our Salesforce platform evolves.
What You'll Be Doing
Build, configure, and maintain Salesforce deployment pipelines in Copado, including User Stories, promotion paths, and release and environment management
Develop and maintain Salesforce customizations using Apex, Lightning components, flows, and configuration in support of DevOps tooling and internal platform needs
Manage Git-based version control workflows for Salesforce metadata, including branching strategy, merge conflict resolution, and code promotion across environments from sandbox to production
Coordinate and execute Salesforce deployments, working closely with developers and admins to plan releases, sequence dependencies, and minimize downtime
Monitor deployment pipelines and troubleshoot failures, working through Copado job errors, validation failures, and metadata conflicts to keep releases on track
Maintain sandbox environments, including refresh scheduling, seeding, and data and configuration alignment across the org landscape
Document release processes, deployment runbooks, and Copado configuration standards so the process stays consistent as the team grows
The Impact You Will Have
Give development teams a reliable, self-service path to production so releases stop being a bottleneck
Reduce failed deployments and rollback incidents through better pipeline design, validation, and pre-deployment checks
Shorten release cycles by streamlining promotion paths and cutting manual handoffs out of the process
Improve visibility into what is moving through the pipeline, so stakeholders always know release status and risk
Strengthen org stability by keeping sandboxes, metadata, and environments properly aligned and documented
Enable the Salesforce platform to scale safely as customizations and user base grow across the company
Create deployment patterns that other teams can adopt, multiplying your impact across the broader Salesforce organization
What You'll Need
2 to 5 years of experience in Salesforce development or Salesforce platform administration
Hands-on experience with Copado for deployment and release management, including User Stories and promotion pipelines
Comfort with Git-based workflows including branching, merging, resolving conflicts, and managing metadata in version control
Working knowledge of core Salesforce concepts including Apex, Lightning components, flows, and standard and custom object configuration
Understanding of Salesforce release management fundamentals including sandboxes, change sets or metadata API, and environment strategy
Basic scripting or automation skills such as shell scripting that help streamline deployment tasks is a plus
Salesforce certifications such as Administrator, Platform Developer I, or Copado certifications are a plus
Who You Are
You are detail-oriented under pressure, a rushed deployment is exactly when you slow down and double-check dependencies
You communicate proactively, flagging risk or blockers before they turn into a failed release
You collaborate well with both developers and admins, translating between what the code does and what the org needs
You are comfortable owning a process end to end, from a User Story's creation through its successful promotion to production
You look for patterns in recurring deployment issues and fix the root cause instead of patching around it each time
You can explain a complex deployment failure to a non-technical stakeholder in two sentences without losing the technical nuance
The Team You'll Be Part Of
This role sits within our Salesforce platform and DevOps team, responsible for the release engineering and deployment tooling that supports our broader Salesforce development organization. The team partners closely with Salesforce developers, admins, and business stakeholders to keep releases moving smoothly as the org and its customizations continue to grow.
