Release Manager, Salesforce

Our Salesforce team at Veeam is responsible for building integrated, scalable, and robust solutions for our stakeholders. We are currently seeking an experienced Salesforce Release Manager with expertise in CI/CD tools and SOX compliance. In this role, you will play a critical part in managing the release processes for our Salesforce applications, ensuring they meet all regulatory requirements and deliver maximum value to our business. 

A successful candidate will have a proven track record in managing Salesforce releases, strong expertise in CI/CD tools, and experience with SOX compliance. Additionally, you should be well-versed in Agile methodologies, with the ability to work collaboratively across multiple teams to ensure successful delivery. 

Reports to: Director of Salesforce Engineering, Corporate Technology 

Your Tasks Will Include:

• Define and maintain the enterprise release calendar, environment strategy, and governance model across multiple Salesforce orgs, ensuring alignment with product roadmaps.
• Architect and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Gearset, GitHub, Copado, etc.), integrating static code analysis, automated testing, and compliance checks.
• Own SOX controls for Salesforce deployments, lead quarterly audits, and participate in continuous control improvements and segregation-of-duty models.
• Chair release readiness reviews, approve production moves, and enforce robust rollback/incident-management procedures to minimize downtime.
• While this role has no direct reports, you will serve as a hands-on mentor, coaching engineers to become self-sufficient in CI/CD practices.
• Own and continuously refine the end-to-end developer experience: automate repetitive tasks, streamline sandbox spin-ups, improve build/test feedback loops, and advocate for tooling or process changes that make delivering quality code faster and easier.
• Act as the primary point of contact for release-related activities, providing clear communication to stakeholders across the organization.
• Find ways to leverage AI/ML capabilities in CI/CD to shorten feedback loops, catch defects early, and surface release insights that improve developer productivity. 

What we expect from you:

• 5+ years of release management experience.
• 3+ years of experience with the Salesforce platform and ecosystem.
• Proven success delivering frequent, zero-defect releases for enterprise Salesforce implementations (2,000+ users, multi-cloud, multi-sandbox).
• Expert-level proficiency with Salesforce CI/CD tools (Gearset preferred; Copado, AutoRabit, Flosum, or comparable) and Git-based version control (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab).
• Demonstrated experience of SOX (and preferably GDPR) controls in a release pipeline.
• Strong command of Agile / Scrum frameworks; able to synchronize sprint cadence with release cycles.
• Exceptional communication skills—able to provide clear status reporting, manage escalations, and present release insights to cross-functional leaders and stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to handle complex release scenarios.
• Demonstrated experience with modern AI tooling like LLM assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), code-generation or review tools (GitHub Copilot), and AI features within Salesforce DevOps platforms. 

Nice to have:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Highly desirable Salesforce credentials:
  • Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle & Deployment Designer (DLDD)
  • Salesforce Platform Developer
  • Salesforce Administrator or Platform App Builder
• Additional DevOps-oriented certifications (Gearset, Copado DevOps) are a plus 

What we offer:

• Unlimited PTO 
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits that start on day one 
• Flexible spending accounts 
• Life insurance and short-term and long-term disability coverage 
• Family planning support benefits, along with 100% paid maternity and parental leave
