Salesforce Quality Engineer

Vanta is a company dedicated to helping businesses earn and prove trust through continuous security monitoring. As a Salesforce Quality Engineer, you will establish and oversee the Business Systems Quality Assurance program, focusing on creating quality gates, automation frameworks, and observability infrastructures to ensure reliable and safe business operations.

Responsibilities:

• 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
