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.\nReady 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.\nThe Experience\nJoin the team building the next-generation Security Assurance Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform at Salesforce. As a lead full stack engineer, you own the architecture, technical roadmap, and delivery of the platform's core engines, including policy as code, compliance as code, automated evidence collection, telemetry and alerting, and risk evaluation. You guide distributed feature teams from concept through deployment and shape how AI coding assistants are used across the engineering organization to raise both speed and code quality.\nWhat You'll Actually Be Doing\nTake technical ownership of complex, multi-system initiatives, driving architectural decisions, technical specifications, phase planning, and execution across the delivery lifecycle.\nArchitect resilient, cloud-native microservice architectures that process large-scale compliance telemetry, support automated evidence ingestion, and run low-latency risk evaluation engines.\nPartner with Product Management, Security Architects, and GRC leaders to translate business and regulatory strategies into detailed technical roadmaps, milestones, and sprint backlogs.\nEstablish engineering standards, perform high-impact code and architecture reviews, enforce secure coding guidelines, and set rigorous continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) and testing benchmarks across the engineering organization.\nDesign and implement extensible Policy as Code and Compliance as Code engines, using Open Policy Agent (OPA) or custom evaluation frameworks, along with runtime platforms such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools, that dynamically audit infrastructure and enterprise controls.\nConstrain the outputs of AI coding assistants with declarative, machine-readable rules.\nLead the design of automated evidence collection pipelines that integrate with multi-cloud environments (Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)), identity providers, enterprise security tools, CI/CD pipelines, ticketing systems, and corporate productivity applications such as Workday and NetSuite.\nBuild dynamic risk analysis engines and auditing interfaces that map continuous technical evidence against major regulatory standards, including National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001, and System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2.\nBuild 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.\nDesign and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.\nContribute to building and maintaining shared system context, an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably.\nCritically evaluate code, whether human- or AI-generated, for correctness, quality, security, and performance.\nLead the adoption and integration of AI coding assistants, such as Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI application programming interfaces (APIs), across the engineering lifecycle to improve team productivity, automate test generation, and streamline refactoring.\nMentor senior and mid-level engineers across time zones, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous learning.\nLead cross-functional alignment and technical discussions across a geographically dispersed team that works in an asynchronous-first culture.\nYou're Our Person If...\n10 to 12+ years of professional full stack software and systems engineering experience, including 3+ years in a Lead, Staff, or Principal Engineer capacity leading technical projects and distributed engineering teams.\nA proven record of taking complex Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms or enterprise software projects from architectural inception to production delivery.\nThe ability to break down ambiguous business requirements into high-level architecture designs, concrete technical epics, and actionable execution plans.\nDeep mastery of both Python and Java, including enterprise frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, Flask, and Spring Boot, and microservice design patterns.\nAdvanced proficiency in modern JavaScript or TypeScript frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular), with experience designing scalable component libraries and complex data visualization dashboards.\nStrong expertise in relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), NoSQL and graph databases, distributed data processing, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and a public cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).\nWorking knowledge of NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria.\nDirect experience building or architecting systems around continuous control monitoring, automated audit trails, or policy engine evaluation, such as OPA with the Rego language.\nA demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to engineering, using AI to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty.\nExperience using AI tools, such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and Cursor, in development workflows, along with a strategic vision for integrating AI into technical workflows.\nAdvanced prompt engineering skills, including the ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready.\nA related technical degree required.\nEven Better If...\nExperience architecting commercial GRC tools, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, or CSPM systems.\nPractical experience implementing OPA or similar policy-as-code tools at scale.\nSecurity certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), or a cloud security specialty certification.\nExperience with the Salesforce platform, including Lightning Web Components, Apex, and Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL).\nUnleash Your Potential\nWhen you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance andbe your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you cando your best.

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.\nIn 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.
