Responsibilities Design, develop, and operate resilient distributed systems and cloud infrastructure automation tools across public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, Alibaba), using Infrastructure-as-Code practices with Terraform and containerization frameworks such as Kubernetes and Docker. Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow — 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, and critically evaluate both human- and AI-generated code for correctness, quality, security, and performance.

Preferred Qualifications Experience with distributed database systems and relational databases such as PostgreSQL. Familiarity with open source technologies such as Spinnaker or Zookeeper. Experience writing microservices on containerization frameworks such as Mesos. Unleash Your Potential When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life.
