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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

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.
