About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own test automation strategy and execution across Salesforce environments — Classic, Lightning, and complex third-party integrations — selecting and evolving the right tools and frameworks for our stack.
Design and build automated test suites using tools such as Playwright, Copado Robot Testing, simple-salesforce, Behave, or similar frameworks, and integrate them into our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / ArgoCD).
Lead regression, smoke, functional, UAT, integration, and performance testing for Salesforce customizations including Apex, Visualforce, Lightning Web Components, and Flow automation.
Shift left on quality — engage with requirements and design sessions early, challenge assumptions, and flag risks before they reach development.
Champion testability in code reviews, providing structured feedback on Apex, LWC, and integration code with quality and coverage in mind.
Validate data integrity across the platform, including Salesforce records, reports, dashboards, Data Cloud pipelines, and inbound/outbound integration payloads.
Log, triage, and track defects end-to-end in Jira, maintaining clear reproduction steps and working collaboratively with developers through resolution.
Define and maintain test documentation standards — test plans, test cases, automation scripts, coverage matrices, and results reports.
Mentor and guide junior QA contributors and developers on automation best practices, test design patterns, and quality-first thinking.
Stay current with Salesforce releases (3x per year), evaluate new features and deprecations for test impact, and recommend improvements proactively.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of QA/test engineering experience, with a significant portion focused on Salesforce platforms in production environments.
Deep Salesforce platform knowledge — hands-on experience testing Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, Apex triggers and classes, Visualforce pages, Lightning Web Components, Flows, and platform events.
Strong automation engineering skills — you write clean, maintainable test code.
Proficiency in Python is expected; experience with Playwright, Copado Robot Testing, or comparable Salesforce-aware frameworks is a strong plus.
CI/CD fluency — comfortable integrating automated tests into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or ArgoCD-based pipelines, and iterating on pipeline configuration.
Integration testing experience — ability to design and execute tests across REST/SOAP APIs, event-driven architectures (Kafka/Confluent), and data pipelines (Snowflake or similar warehouses).
Jira proficiency — experience in defect lifecycle management, sprint hygiene, and working within structured Agile/Kanban workflows.
Strong analytical instincts and the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into rigorous, actionable test strategies.
Clear, direct communication skills — you can articulate risk, coverage gaps, and quality decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Collaborative by nature — comfortable working across development, product, and platform teams, and willing to push back constructively when quality is at risk.
