Tech Stack

About the role

  • Design and implement the end-to-end QA operating model for Business Systems releases from scratch (intake → risk assessment → test planning → execution → sign-off → post-release verification)
  • Define and track QA program health metrics - including defect escape rate, test coverage, release failure rate, and mean time to detect - to demonstrate value and guide continuous improvement
  • Facilitate or coordinate UAT with business stakeholders for high-impact releases, ensuring sign-off is structured and traceable
  • Build a risk-based quality strategy that prioritizes testing and automation based on revenue impact, data integrity, compliance, and system criticality
  • Establish and maintain a balanced test automation foundation: unit-level (Apex), Salesforce automation (flows/LWC), end-to-end UI regression, REST/SOAP API validation, and integration/service checks for critical workflows spanning Salesforce and connected tools
  • Implement observability and exception reporting infrastructure; establish error detection, alerting, dashboards, and runbooks for Apex classes, flows, and integrations
  • Enable and coach admins and developers to build testable solutions and contribute to quality; drive continuous improvement from incidents into updated tests, gates, and monitoring
  • Define QA standards and templates (test plan, regression checklist, release readiness, rollback plan) and drive adoption across the team
  • Execute targeted manual/exploratory testing for high-risk changes while building the automation foundation to reduce manual burden over time

Requirements

  • 5+ years in quality assurance, with at least 3 years with Salesforce QA experience
  • Proven ability to build or scale a QA program from the ground up in greenfield environments (not just executing tests within an established framework)
  • Deep fluency with Salesforce testing practices: Apex unit tests, deployment standards, flow testing concepts, and ability to design scalable regression strategies for Salesforce environments
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining UI/E2E automation frameworks
  • Familiarity with testing integration workflows and iPaaS tools (Workato, Mulesoft, Boomi, etc.)—understanding retries, idempotency, monitoring, and failure handling patterns
  • Strong stakeholder management skills; able to drive adoption of standards and quality gates without formal authority in environments where QA practices are being introduced for the first time
  • Comfort with ambiguity and building in zero-to-one environments
  • Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact
  • Experience integrating Salesforce QA into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Copado, Gearset, Salesforce DX, or GitHub Actions
  • Understanding of Salesforce governor limits and ability to design bulk data and performance tests that validate system behavior at scale
  • Experience with security and access control testing - including profiles, permission sets, field-level security, and sharing rules - particularly in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship.
Benefits
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans

  • Commuter benefits for team members who report to the SF and NYC office
