About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Networking: Ensure robust and secure connectivity for the platform, including ingress (public and VPN), egress, and domain management (Route53). Manage service mesh (Istio) for traffic routing and security trust between micro services.
Tooling and Automation: Implement and manage essential tooling to enhance developer productivity and platform security, including secrets management, package/dependency management, testing frameworks, developer self-service tools, automation scripts/bots, and observability integrations.
Monitoring and Reliability: Contribute to establishing monitoring solutions (e.g., Grafana, PagerDuty) and integrate security scanning to ensure platform health and security.
Security & Compliance: Participate in security reviews and ensure all platform components adhere to security best practices and compliance requirements.
Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including ML engineers, data scientists, and product managers, to deliver robust and high-performance solutions.
Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for infrastructure, services, workflows, and user guides.

Strong software engineering skills, particularly with Python, for building scalable tools, automation scripts, and platform components.
Strong expertise in cloud platforms, particularly AWS (IAM, EKS, S3, SageMaker, etc.).
