Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Dice is seeking a Salesforce Release Engineer to join its DevOps team and manage the end-to-end Salesforce release lifecycle across development, testing, staging, and production environments. The role focuses on release management, Copado administration, CI/CD automation, OmniStudio and OmniChannel deployments, Salesforce environment governance, GitHub repository management, and quality, security, and compliance controls.

Responsibilities

• Plan, coordinate, and execute Salesforce deployments across all environments including DEV, QA, UAT, Staging, and Production
• Own and manage the end-to-end release calendar, ensuring releases are tracked, communicated, and delivered on schedule
• Maintain and enforce release gates — validating that all code quality, security, and testing requirements are met before promotion to higher environments
• Coordinate release sign-offs with Tech Leads, Release Managers, and Business Stakeholders
• Maintain a detailed deployment log tracking who deployed, to which environment, and the outcome of every release
• Administer and manage Copado pipelines, user stories, and deployment flows across all Salesforce orgs
• Configure and maintain Copado environment connections, branch management strategies, and release definitions
• Identify and resolve metadata conflicts in Copado before merge and deployment
• Enforce the Copado Source Format Certification requirement for all new users onboarding to the platform
• Monitor and triage Copado deployment failures, perform root cause analysis, and implement preventive measures
• Generate Copado reports tracking deployment frequency, success rates, and deployer activity per environment
• Manage the deployment of OmniStudio components including OmniScripts, FlexCards, DataRaptors, and Integration Procedures across all environments
• Perform and validate OmniScript reactivation post-deployment — identifying when manual activation is required due to LWC recompilation not triggering automatically
• Verify FlexCard activation, dependency resolution, and static resource cache refresh after every deployment
• Manage OmniChannel routing configurations and validate end-to-end OmniChannel flows post-deployment
• Ensure correct namespace handling (vlocity_cmt vs omnistudio unmanaged) across environments
• Coordinate with developers on DataRaptor and Integration Procedure version management
• Manage and maintain all Salesforce sandbox environments across the release path
• Coordinate sandbox refresh schedules and communicate impact to development and QA teams
• Validate environment health post-deployment through smoke testing and monitoring
• Manage permission set groups and access controls across environments, ensuring consistency and compliance
• Maintain environment-specific configuration records and Custom Metadata for feature flag management
• Enforce code quality standards through SonarQube integration in the CI pipeline
• Ensure every deployment passes Check marx security scanning before promotion to higher environments
• Maintain a minimum Apex code coverage threshold of 75% org-wide and 80% per class
• Produce and maintain deployment audit records and release documentation for compliance and audit purposes
• Support rollback planning — identifying reversible vs irreversible metadata changes and documenting rollback procedures per release
• Administer and manage the Salesforce GitHub repository as the single source of truth for all metadata and configuration
• Define, enforce, and maintain the branching strategy across the team — including feature branches, release branches, and hotfix branches
• Review and manage pull requests — ensuring code review standards, branch naming conventions, and merge policies are consistently followed
• Manage branch protection rules, required reviewers, and merge conditions to maintain repository integrity
• Resolve and guide developers through Git merge conflicts — particularly for complex Salesforce metadata such as Profiles, Permission Sets, and Flows
• Maintain a clean and well-structured repository history — enforcing commit message standards, tagging releases, and archiving stale branches
• Set up and manage GitHub repository secrets and environment-specific configuration variables used during deployments
• Coordinate the branch lifecycle from feature branch creation through to production merge and post-release cleanup
• Ensure all deployments are traceable back to a specific commit, pull request, and approved change in GitHub
• Conduct periodic repository audits to identify orphaned branches, unmerged changes, and metadata drift between the repository and live orgs
