InvestorFlow
DevOps Engineer - Salesforce Platform
TLDR
Own CI/CD pipelines and packaging workflows for Salesforce development, reducing deployment friction and streamlining release processes with a focus on engineering rigor.
InvestorFlow is the only company of its kind to deliver industry specialized CRM, built on Salesforce, and digital portals to help alternative asset firms find opportunities, create and manage relationships, and turn relationship insights into action with increased productivity and transparency.
This role is built for a Salesforce developer who has been the person on the team quietly pushing for better deployment practices. Maybe you’ve been writing SFDX scripts in your spare time, lobbying for source-driven development, or getting frustrated every time a change set fails validation in production. If that sounds like you, this is your chance to make release engineering your full-time focus.
As our Salesforce DevOps Engineer, you’ll own the CI/CD pipelines, branching strategies, and packaging workflows that our Salesforce developers rely on every day. You’ll reduce deployment friction, shorten release cycles, and bring engineering rigour to a platform that has historically resisted it — working alongside our ReleaseOps team who handle release coordination and cut management.
Reporting to the VP of DevOps, you’ll work with moderate independence on team-level projects and collaborate with senior engineers on department-wide initiatives.
You Will
Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Salesforce deployments using GitHub
Actions and Salesforce DX (SFDX)
Define source control workflows and branching strategies (trunk-based, feature
branches, environment promotion) that fit how Salesforce developers actually work
Implement packaging strategies — unlocked packages, second-generation
packaging (2GP), and org-dependent packaging where appropriate — in partnership
with the ReleaseOps team
Automate validation, testing, and deployment across the full org landscape: scratch
orgs, developer sandboxes, UAT, staging, and production
Integrate Apex test execution, code coverage enforcement, static analysis (PMD,
Checkmarx, CodeScan), and metadata quality gates into pipelines
Evaluate and implement Salesforce DevOps tooling, choosing the right mix for the
team
Partner directly with Salesforce developers to remove friction from their day — faster
feedback loops, fewer deployment failures, cleaner merge workflows
Troubleshoot Salesforce deployment issues: metadata conflicts, destructive changes,
profile and permission set drift, flow versioning, managed package dependencies
Drive Salesforce org hygiene — metadata retrieval strategy, tech debt reduction, org
shape management for scratch orgs
Document what you build and contribute to a team knowledge base
You Have
3+ years of hands-on Salesforce development experience — Apex, Lightning Web
Components (LWC), Flows, and declarative configuration
Strong understanding of Salesforce metadata, org architecture, and the realities of
deploying between orgs
Working experience with Salesforce DX (SFDX) CLI — scratch orgs, source format,
metadata retrieve/deploy, package creation
Experience with Git and source-driven Salesforce development (even if you had to
drag your team there yourself)
Working proficiency in at least one CI/CD platform — GitHub Actions preferred,
Azure DevOps Pipelines or Jenkins also relevant
Solid scripting skills in Apex and at least one of: Bash, PowerShell, Python, or
Node.js
A genuine frustration with manual deployments, brittle change sets, and “it works in
sandbox” — and the drive to fix it
Strong collaboration and documentation skills, and the judgement to know when to
ship, when to escalate, and when to push back
Salesforce Platform Developer I certification (or equivalent demonstrable experience)
Salesforce Platform Developer II, Application Architect, or DevOps-track certifications
Hands-on experience with Gearset, Copado, Flosum, or Salesforce DevOps Center
in a real team setting
Experience managing deployments across a complex multi-org landscape (ISV,
multi-tenant, or enterprise)
Familiarity with Apex testing frameworks, mocking patterns, and test data strategy at
scale
Experience with static code analysis tools for Salesforce (PMD, CodeScan, Clayton,
SonarQube)
Any background in alternative assets, financial services, or regulated SaaS
