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 Experience

Salesforce Enterprise Security is hiring a Software Engineer to join our Identity and Access Management (IAM) team. In this role, you will help design and build foundational IAM platform services that protect customer trust across Salesforce's products and infrastructure. With Agentforce woven into every layer of our platform, our engineers build intelligent systems that automate the repetitive, elevate the strategic, and power better decisions at scale. This is a strong opportunity for an early-career engineer to work at the intersection of distributed systems, enterprise security, and modern software engineering while building foundational skills in identity, device trust, and AI-enabled security operations.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software across Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow

• Design and orchestrate systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows; critically evaluate code - human or AI-generated - for correctness, quality, security, and performance

• Implement device trust and attestation capabilities including certificate-based and hardware-backed trust mechanisms, and contribute to identity and security platform components involving certificates, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), secure transport, and access enforcement

• Deploy and maintain containerized workloads using Kubernetes, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform

• Contribute to secure development workflows including automated testing, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, and code quality and security checks

• Support vulnerability remediation efforts by triaging findings, validating fixes, and partnering with teammates to close security gaps quickly

• Participate in incident response and operational investigations by collecting data, analyzing system behavior, and supporting remediation

• Partner with security, infrastructure, and engineering teams to support platform reliability and trust in an Agile environment

You're Our Person If...

• 1-3 years of software engineering experience

• Experience building software in one or more languages such as Golang, Python, Java, or similar

• A demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to engineering - using AI tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or Cursor to move faster and build fluency across the stack

• Understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and cloud-native services

• Familiarity with software development fundamentals including debugging, testing, and version control using Git

• Familiarity with Representational State Transfer (REST)/JSON APIs and service integration concepts

• Understanding of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and developer workflows

• Understanding of Linux or system-level development fundamentals

• Interest in enterprise security, identity, authentication, and access management

• Strong communication skills and willingness to collaborate and learn in a team environment

• A related technical degree required

Even Better If...

• Exposure to deploying or troubleshooting Kubernetes workloads and familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation

• Experience with observability platforms - logging, metrics, or distributed tracing - and understanding of service reliability concepts such as Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs)

• Interest in security and identity concepts such as Transport Layer Security (TLS), OAuth, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), multi-factor authentication (MFA), passkeys, or certificates; curiosity about Zero Trust architecture, device trust, or Trusted Platform Module (TPM)/T2-based attestation

• Awareness of secure coding practices including OWASP Top 10, input validation, and secrets management; exposure to security tooling such as vulnerability scanning, static analysis, or dependency scanning

• Working knowledge of SQL and/or NoSQL databases and familiarity with testing frameworks

• Advanced prompt engineering skills and the ability to write precise, structured prompts that make AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready

• Relevant coursework, degree, or project experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, or security automation
