What you’ll be doing:

• CI/CD Pipeline Management: Design, configure, and maintain end-to-end automated pipelines using Azure DevOps for both standard applications and Salesforce-specific workflows (Repos, Pipelines, Artifacts) for Salesforce and MuleSoft components; define branching, versioning, and release workflows.
• Salesforce Deployments: Lead release management activities for Salesforce, including metadata management, environment synchronization, and sandbox refreshes (SFDX/Metadata API, packaging, org-to-org promotion), ensuring consistent pipelines across SIT, UAT, Pre-Prod and Prod.
• Collaboration: Partner with development, QA, and security teams to align DevOps strategies with business needs and resolve deployment blockers.
• Monitoring & Security: Implement observability and security scanning within pipelines to ensure system health and compliance. Create and manage user access in Azure DevOps and Salesforce platforms.
• Mentorship: Mentor engineers on CI/CD, tooling, and best practices; contribute to internal playbooks and KT assets for onboarding/new joiners.

What we’re looking for:

• Essential:
• Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps or Release Engineering.
• Cloud Expertise: Deep knowledge of the Azure DevOps suite (Pipelines, Boards, Repos, multi-stage YAML/classic pipelines, environments, approvals, artifacts).
• Salesforce Knowledge: Strong understanding of Salesforce metadata (Apex, LWC, Flows) and Salesforce CLI (SFDX).
• Version Control: Proficiency in Git and advanced branching strategies like GitFlow.
• Scripting: Proficiency in Bash, Python, or PowerShell for custom automation tasks.
• Preferred Skills:
• Deployment Tools: Hands-on experience with Copado or Flosum for automated Salesforce releases.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Use tools like Terraform or Ansible to automate infrastructure provisioning and maintain consistency across environments.
• MuleSoft Integration: Oversee deployment and lifecycle management for MuleSoft APIs and integrations, ensuring high availability and reliability (CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Manager, properties encryption, secret management via Azure Key Vault).

How this aligns to Capita’s values:

• Customer First, Always: Stable, automated CI/CD and release processes are delivered to ensure smooth, predictable deployments that support teams and end-users.
• Fearless Innovation: Modern automation, AI enhancements, and continuous pipeline improvements are introduced to increase delivery speed, quality, and reliability.
