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. The Experience

• Join our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team, where you work alongside Infrastructure and Research and Development partners to keep Salesforce cloud services available for customers around the clock.
• With Agentforce woven into every layer of our platform, you help build resilient systems that millions of customers depend on every day.
• This role is based in Herndon, VA and is eligible for an onsite work arrangement.
• Candidates must have an active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Monitor customer-facing services and respond to Severity 0 and Severity 1 incidents, leading technical reviews and contributing to root cause analyses.
• Automate the detection and resolution of recurring production issues to reduce repetitive manual work.
• Contribute to compliance, resiliency, and self-healing initiatives, including destructive testing and resiliency drills.
• Partner with and mentor teammates to stay current on industry technology and drive team development.

You're Our Person If...

• You have experience in enterprise-scale internet service engineering or support, with hands-on experience using the command line on Unix variants, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
• You have experience with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networking technologies and protocols.
• You have experience with incident management in a 24/7 environment.
• You write scripts in Python, Go, or similar languages and have experience provisioning and operating Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.

Even Better If...

• You have a solid understanding of IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) service operations.

• You have hands-on experience supporting and managing Kubernetes-based applications and services.
• You hold certifications in Linux+, Red Hat, or AWS.
• You are familiar with Agile processes and DevOps practices.

Changes to know about:

• I moved ITIL to "Even Better If" because the guide says required qualifications should be findable on a resume.
• "You're Our Person If..." still has four bullets, per the guide's limit.
• "Even Better If..." now has five bullets, because I added ITIL. The guide's four-bullet limit covers responsibilities and required qualifications, so this is fine, but you can trim one if you want.
• I wrote out "Severity 0 and Severity 1" and removed the "(Sev0)/(Sev1)" acronyms, since they weren't used again.
