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.

The team develops and manages the Salesforce API Platform’s runtime plane that applies API policies, handles requests, and enforces security. We’re responsible for the execution of sophisticated routing rules to the appropriate upstream services. The runtime plane is a dedicated extensible infrastructure layer facilitating service-to-service and customer-to-service communication via proxies managed by the control plane such that policies can be applied at these proxies. The runtime plane is built using Envoy and Istio. It is extensible and features are built into these proxies or are integrations at these proxies with no change to actual services.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• 4+ years of development experience
• Proficiency with Golang, Java and/or C++ in a Linux/UNIX data center environment.
• Experience in operating large scale cluster management systems (e.g. Kubernetes) of a mission critical service.
• Strong knowledge of network technologies, such as TCP/IP, DNS, TLS termination, HTTP proxies, network load balancing, etc.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure automation tools, frameworks, workflows, and validation platforms.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD, configuration management and Infrastructure as Code principles (e.g. Spinnaker, Terraform).
• Experience with Agile development methodology (e.g. Scrum) and Test-Driven Development, with attention to code quality, and delivering secure code.
• Participation in the team’s on-call rotation to address complex problems in real-time and keep services operational and highly available.
• Experience in using telemetry and metrics to drive operational excellence.

What does success look like in your first 60-90 days?

- Ability to quickly learn the technical stack. This includes understanding OSS service mesh technologies (e.g. Envoy, Istio, NGINX), kubernetes, helm charts, spinnaker, load balancing, security groups. Developing a strong understanding of network technologies, such as TCP/IP, DNS, TLS termination, HTTP proxies is a must. Openness to working in an agile environment, delivering within milestones and dependency constraints, while focusing on quality coding, test coverage, high availability, and security.
