Detailed Responsibilities

Quality Engineering Leadership

• Lead the overall testing strategy, planning, and execution for Salesforce programs across multiple clouds (Sales, Service, Experience, Marketing) and complex integrations with ERP, middleware, and data platforms.
• Define and enforce QE standards, best practices, and processes for Salesforce release cycles, including CI/CD integration, sandbox management strategies, and comprehensive regression planning.
• Oversee all testing phases: unit testing support, functional testing, system integration testing (SIT), user acceptance testing (UAT) facilitation, performance benchmarking (when applicable), and end-to-end automation.

Test Planning & Execution

• Author comprehensive test plans, detailed test scenarios, reusable test scripts, and precise acceptance criteria aligned to user stories, epics, and business enhancements.
• Manage the full defect lifecycle—from triage and prioritization through root-cause analysis, developer handoff, retesting, and closure—ensuring minimal escape to production.
• Guarantee consistent regression test coverage across all releases, with full traceability to requirements, configurations, and custom code.
• Drive rigorous validation of intricate integrations involving middleware (e.g., MuleSoft), core business systems, data warehouses, and third-party SaaS applications.

Automation Strategy & Framework

• Architect and implement a robust automation strategy for Salesforce UI, API, and Lightning component testing using industry-leading tools like Provar, Selenium WebDriver, Copado Robotic Testing, Playwright, or Cucumber.
• Build and maintain sustainable, low-maintenance automation suites that integrate seamlessly with sprint cadences and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Copado).
• Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams to embed automated smoke, regression, and API tests directly into build/deploy pipelines for real-time quality gates.

Release Management Collaboration

• Partner with release managers to assess deployment readiness, orchestrate sandbox refreshes, and execute production validation protocols.
• Lead post-deployment smoke testing and hyper-responsive root-cause analysis for high-velocity, bi-weekly release cadences.

Stakeholder Management & Team Leadership

• Engage product owners, business subject matter experts (SMEs), and Salesforce consultants to refine requirements, acceptance criteria, and edge-case scenarios.
• Deliver executive-level status reports, quality dashboards (e.g., via Jira, TestRail), defect metrics, test coverage analytics, and risk assessments.
• Align cross-functionally with developers, architects, and admins on business logic, data models, custom metadata, and Apex/Lightning changes.
• Mentor and lead onshore/offshore QE teams (5-10 members), conducting automation code reviews, test design workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions to elevate team capabilities.
• Foster a culture of quality ownership, innovation, and accountability across all agile pods.

Technical & Behavioral Qualifications

Technical Must-Haves

• 8+ years of QA/Testing experience, with 5+ years focused on Salesforce (ADM-201 certified or higher; QA-specific certifications like Copado Certified Robotic Testing a plus).
• Deep expertise in Salesforce Clouds and testing tools: Provar, Selenium, Copado, Gearset, or equivalent; API testing with Postman/Newman; performance tools like JMeter or LoadRunner.
• Proven track record building/maintaining automation frameworks in CI/CD environments (Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps).
• Strong understanding of Salesforce data model, security (OWD, sharing rules), Lightning Experience, flows, and integrations (REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events).

Behavioral & Leadership Qualities

• Strategic thinker with hands-on execution mindset; thrives in fast-paced agile environments.
