The Salesforce Release Engineer/Manager will own the discipline of release, deployment, and environment management for our Salesforce delivery practice. You will define, implement, and sustain robust processes, tooling, and governance that enable frequent, high-quality releases into enterprise Salesforce orgs. You will partner with Delivery Leads, Technical Architects, Developers, QA, DevOps and client stakeholders to manage sandbox strategy, version control, CI/CD pipelines, packaging and deployment, release calendars, post-release operations and rollback/contingency planning.
This is a hybrid position, and candidates must reside in the DMV area to support occasional in-person client and team engagements.
Key Responsibilities

- Manage release calendars, change-freeze periods, communications, deployment checklists, and documentation required in a federal change-control process (e.g., CAB approvals, audit logs).
- Execute deployments using packages, metadata deployments, and automated pipelines; ensure all testing, security scanning, and regression steps are completed.
- Maintain configuration control: capture any production-level changes (hotfixes) and ensure they are incorporated back into version control for audit completeness.
- Partner with Architects, Developers, QA, Cybersecurity, and Government Product Owners to ensure secure, timely, and reliable releases.
- Provide release documentation, change records, rollback plans, and audit-ready artifacts aligned with federal program requirements.
- Monitor Salesforce seasonal releases and communicate impacts to the defense client, including security implications and required readiness activities

- Git-based version control and merge strategies
- CI/CD pipelines for Salesforce (SFDX, Ant, CI tools)

- Experience managing releases in secure or regulated environments (DoD, DHS, FedRAMP High, or similar)
- Familiarity with risk-based deployment planning, rollback procedures, and operational readiness reviews
- Strong communication skills and ability to interface with technical and non-technical federal stakeholders
- Ability to produce audit-ready artifacts and comply with strict CM/QA processes
