About The Position

Salesforce is seeking a Release Manager for Regrello to be the linchpin between development and operations. This role will ensure that updates and new features are delivered efficiently and reliably, minimizing disruptions and maximizing the value derived from the Salesforce platform. This role is critical for coordinating changes, maintaining stability, and ensuring that every feature rollout—from weekly hotfixes to major quarterly releases—goes off without a hitch. The position involves building and shipping high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of the development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code. It also includes designing and orchestrating complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale. Contributing to building and maintaining the shared system context, an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably, and critically evaluating code (Human or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance are also key aspects of this role.
