• Strong release management background: environment strategy, sandbox management,
deployment scheduling, change set orchestration, and production deployment governance
• Proficiency with version control (Git), branching strategies (e.g., trunk-based, Gitflow), and
Salesforce automated testing frameworks (Apex unit tests, UI testing with Selenium/Provar)
• Experience with Salesforce ISV managed package development (1GP), including packaging org

• A track record of deploying to Salesforce production on a regular cadence (weekly or bi-weekly
release trains)
• Experience managing multiple concurrent Salesforce environments (partial/full sandboxes, scratch
orgs) and orchestrating releases across them
