Salesforce DevOps (SFDX, Copado)
Also written as Salesforce DevOps, SFDX, Salesforce DX, Salesforce CLI, Copado, Gearset, Flosum, AutoRABIT, Change Sets

Think of it like
Moving furniture between show flats: you can carry pieces across by hand one at a time, or pack every flat from the same inventory list so nothing gets left behind.
Junior or senior?
A strong signal, because many Salesforce teams still deploy by hand.
Senior sounds like
Has set up source control and automated deployments for an org, and handled conflicts between several teams changing the same org.
Ask them
“How did changes get from your sandbox to production? Who set that up, and what went wrong with deployments?”
Sounds like real experience
Describes the pipeline step by step, their own part in setting it up, and a real deployment failure such as a missing dependency or two teams overwriting each other's changes.
Probe further if
Deployed only with change sets, or a release manager handled deployments and they can't describe how it worked.
