Salesforce DevOps Engineer in London

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 Essential

• 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 escape, and when to push back
• Salesforce Platform Developer I certification (or equivalent demonstrable experience)

Nice to Have

• 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 environments
