CI/CD with Harness • Design, build, and maintain Harness pipelines for Salesforce and adjacent services. • Configure triggers, approvals, canary/blue-green strategies, and environment promotion workflows. • Integrate secrets management, artifact repositories, quality gates, and monitoring/alerting. Automation & Scripting • Write robust Bash/Shell scripts for pipeline tasks, pre/post-deploy hooks, validations, and log processing. • Automate static code analysis, unit testing, and packaging (e.g., PMD, ESLint, Jest, Apex tests). • Create reusable runbooks and self-service automation for engineering teams. Quality, Security, & Observability • Implement quality gates (coverage thresholds, linting policies, SAST/DAST where applicable). • Monitor pipeline health, MTTR, change failure rate • • • and deployment frequency; drive continuous improvement. • Collaborate with architects, developers, QA, and release managers to unblock teams and ship faster.
