Employment Type : Full-time.
About the Role :
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer. You will own the CI/CD, release management, and environment strategy for a Salesforce-centric application landscape, and help enable AI-assisted engineering initiatives such as automated test scenario generation and code analysis. The role suits someone who combines strong platform engineering skills with the discipline expected in a regulated financial services environment.
Key Responsibilities :
- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Salesforce (Apex, LWC, metadata) and supporting services, covering build, static analysis, automated testing, and deployment across sandboxes and production.
- Own source control strategy, branching models, and release management, including environment refreshes, sandbox seeding, and deployment rollback plans.
- Integrate code quality and security scanning (e.g., PMD, SonarQube, Checkmarx) into pipelines and enforce quality gates for Apex test coverage and code standards.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using Infrastructure as Code for cloud-hosted components, integrations, and tooling.
- Build and support pipelines that feed AI/ML tooling used on the project, such as generating user stories from Apex code, regression test scenarios, and code pattern analysis.
- Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for application health, deployment success, and integration failures.
- Ensure compliance with Northern Trust's change management, audit, access control, and segregation-of-duties requirements; maintain deployment evidence for audits.
- Partner with developers, QA, architects, and business stakeholders across India and US time zones; mentor junior DevOps and release engineers.
- Drive continuous improvement in deployment frequency, lead time, and change failure rate.
Required Skills and Experience :
- 8 - 10 years in DevOps, build/release engineering, or platform engineering, with at least 3 - 4 years on Salesforce DevOps.
- Hands-on experience with Salesforce DX (SFDX CLI), metadata and source-tracked deployments, scratch orgs, and unlocked packages.
- Experience with Salesforce DevOps tools such as Copado, Gearset, AutoRABIT, or Flosum.
- Strong CI/CD skills with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI.
- Expert-level Git (GitHub/Bitbucket/Azure Repos) and branching strategies.
- Scripting in Bash, PowerShell, and Python.
- Experience with a major cloud platform (Azure preferred, AWS acceptable), plus Terraform or ARM/Bicep.
- Working knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience with code quality and security tooling (SonarQube, PMD, Checkmarx or equivalent).
- Prior experience in banking, financial services, or another regulated industry.
Good to Have :
- Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer I, Administrator, or DevOps-related).
- Exposure to AI/LLM-assisted development tooling or MLOps pipelines.
- Experience with test automation frameworks (Provar, Selenium, or similar) integrated into CI.
- Observability tools such as Splunk, Dynatrace, or Azure Monitor.
- Azure DevOps Engineer Expert or equivalent cloud certification.
