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.

By applying to this role, you will be considered for two mission‑critical teams at the heart of our data strategy. Both teams operate at extreme scale, leveraging Public Cloud (AWS/GCP) and Kubernetes to power the next generation of data‑driven intelligence.

Build and own large‑scale data pipelines and observability systems that power metrics, logging, and real‑time insights across services. This role focuses on designing reliable telemetry pipelines, improving monitoring and alerting, and ensuring data quality and system visibility al candidates have strong distributed systems fundamentals, backend development experience (Java or similar), and experience operating high‑throughput data or monitoring platforms in cloud or hybrid environments.

Build and ship high‑quality, production‑grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high‑quality code. Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.

Owns the compute infrastructure that powers large‑scale Spark workloads. The team focuses on optimizing core Spark performance, solving distributed systems challenges, and building scalable AI infrastructure, including exploring efficient ways to run smaller language models. Contribute 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.

Critically evaluate code (Human or AI‑generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance.

• Strong understanding of distributed systems design, including scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency trade‑offs in large‑scale data platforms.
• Experience designing and operating large‑scale data pipelines, ETL workflows, or streaming data systems.
• Experience with big data and data platform technologies such as Spark, Flink, Kafka, Trino, HBase, or similar.
• Experience operating data platforms or infrastructure services at enterprise scale.
• Experience building or operating observability systems, telemetry pipelines, or monitoring platforms.
• Experience using metrics, logging, and telemetry to drive operational excellence.
• Build and ship high‑quality, production‑grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high‑quality code.
• Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.

• Critically evaluate code (Human or AI‑generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance.

• A demonstrated, genuine AI‑first approach to engineering. Using AI to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty.
• Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Git Hub…
