Want to shape how Salesforce works in a place that really makes a difference? If you like the sound of building things that last, solving problems early, and making life easier for the people who rely on the tech you support, this could be the one for you. We're looking for a Salesforce Release Engineer to join our Salesforce Team. It's a brand new role, so you’ll have the chance to shape how we do things right from the start.

You’ll be the go-to for making sure our pipelines are set up and running smoothly, using tools like Gearset and GIT repos (in Azure DevOps) to support and enable an environment for continuous deployment. You’ll also take the lead on our technical relationship with Gearset. This is your chance to help us grow our Salesforce platform in a way that’s future-ready, steady, and genuinely helpful for the whole business.

What you’ll do

• Keep releases running like clockwork with smart pipelines and version control
• Own and manage our Gearset and GIT repos setup to keep things smooth and secure
• Coordinate clear and realistic release schedules that everyone can follow
• Monitor platform health and keep environments stable, safe and ready for change
• Spot problems before they grow and work with others to fix them fast
• Bring a customer-first mindset that puts the people using Salesforce at the heart of everything
