Build and run reliable, scalable, and efficient systems by applying software engineering principles to operations. Our mission is to ensure services are highly available, performant, and resilient — while continuously improving the balance between operational work and engineering innovation.
Reliability as the Priority: Ensure that systems meet defined Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs), using error budgets to guide engineering and release decisions.
Engineering for Operations: Apply software engineering practices — automation, monitoring, self-healing systems — to eliminate toil and improve operational efficiency.
Incident Management: Lead the coordinated response to incidents as an Incident Commander, drive fast recovery (low TTR), and ensure lasting improvements through blameless postmortems.
Continuous Improvement: Identify and remove sources of toil, enhance observability, and optimize systems to reduce Time to Detect (TTD) and Time to Restore (TTR).
Collaboration with Development: Partner with product and engineering teams early in the lifecycle to design, build, and operate systems that are reliable by default.
Long-Term Focus: Leverage AI-driven automation to eliminate manual workflows, enabling the team to focus on complex problem-solving and strategic innovation while reducing operational overhead to less than 20% of capacity.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
Lead incident detection, response, and resolution — driving root cause analysis, postmortems, and systemic fixes to ensure high uptime and rapid recovery.
Independently drive the design and implementation of automation platforms and self-healing systems using durable workflow engines (Temporal, Airflow, Argo Workflows).
Architect and build production-grade observability solutions — monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing — that enable proactive detection and autonomous remediation.
Design and implement AI/ML-powered operations tools, including anomaly detection, predictive analysis, intelligent runbook automation, and MCP-based operational agents.
Partner with engineering and product teams to define and uphold SLAs/SLOs, and coach junior engineers through pair programming, design reviews, and code reviews.
You're Our Person If...
5+ years of experience in systems and software engineering for large-scale, internet-facing services, with strong knowledge of distributed systems, Linux/Unix internals, and internet architectures (DNS, HTTP, load balancing, caching).
Proven proficiency in Python and Go (GoLang) with strong software engineering practices (testing, code review, CI/CD).
Hands-on expertise with containerized architectures (Docker, Kubernetes) and workflow/orchestration engines (Temporal, Airflow, Argo Workflows, or similar).
Production experience building and operating observability platforms (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, Splunk, Datadog, or similar).
Solid background in incident management and SRE principles: on-call, root cause analysis, postmortems, SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and toil reduction.
An AI-first approach to engineering, with experience applying AI/ML to operations and using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor) in development workflows.
Even Better If...
Experience with AI agent frameworks, MCP (Model Context Protocol), or building LLM-powered operational tools.
Contributions to open-source reliability/observability tooling; experience with chaos engineering and game day exercises.
AWS/GCP professional-level certifications.
Prior experience in SRE organizations supporting multi-cloud or hyperscale environments; Python and Go proficiency for systems-level tooling.

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.
