** Our Salesforce Database (SDB) team provides a highly available database for Salesforce applications. Within the large SDB team, we provide a highly durable and available distributed storage for public clouds. We are defining the next generation of trusted enterprise computing in the cloud. We're a fast-paced, metrics driven team. We're highly collaborative and work across all areas of our technology stack.

We live and breathe transactional systems, distributed systems and enterprise reliability, availability and scale.

The team is seeking a highly qualified and energetic Senior/Lead Software Engineer who will be responsible for working on development scalable, resilient and fault tolerant transactional and distributed systems. The Senior/Lead Software Engineer will be responsible both for design and hands-on implementation. The software engineer role at Salesforce encompasses architecture, design, implementation, and testing to ensure we build products right and release them with high quality.

Equally important is advanced prompt engineering — the ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready.
