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.

Lead the architectural design and evolution of MuleSoft's mission-critical Runtime Manager (ARM) and Universal Management Platform (UMP). This is the central Control Plane for the Anypoint Platform—a sophisticated microservices-based ecosystem orchestrating high-throughput workloads and multi-tenant infrastructure across 8+ AWS regions. You will be responsible for the systems that manage application lifecycles and deployment orchestration for the world’s most demanding distributed environments.

What You'll Do

  • Define technical strategy and architecture for 40+ microservices handling millions of requests daily

  • Drive design decisions for deployment orchestration, service discovery, and capacity management systems

  • Ensure the scalability, reliability, and security of multi-tenant, multi-region cloud infrastructure

  • Lead cross-functional teams in modernizing and evolving the platform on Kubernetes

  • Establish architectural standards for event-driven systems and distributed workflows

  • Strong hands-on experience with Java/Spring Boot in production environments

  • Proven track record with Kubernetes and cloud platforms (AWS preferred)

  • Event-driven architecture expertise (Kafka, messaging systems)

  • Production operations mindset with a focus on reliability and observability

  • Experience designing for scale, multi-tenancy, and high availability

  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm)

Preferred

  • Distributed orchestration expertise (Temporal, workflow engines, or equivalent)

  • Multi-region deployment architectures and automated region build

  • Familiarity with integration platforms or the MuleSoft ecosystem

  • Security and compliance experience in SaaS environments

Technology Stack

Java · Spring Boot · Kubernetes · Kafka · RabbitMQ · PostgreSQL · Redis · AWS · Terraform · OpenTelemetry · Temporal

In office expectations are 36 days/a quarter to support customers and/or collaborate with their teams.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program. More details about company benefits can be found at the following link: to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance and the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring, Salesforce will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

At Salesforce, we believe in equitable compensation practices that reflect the dynamic nature of labor markets across various regions. The typical base salary range for this position is $218,400 - $365,200 annually. In select cities within the San Francisco and New York City metropolitan area, the base salary range for this role is $263,200 - $401,400 annually. The range represents base salary only, and does not include company bonus, incentive for sales roles, equity or benefits, as applicable.
