Software Engineering MTS

You enjoy problems where databases, algorithms, distributed systems, and production software intersect. You dig deep into complex systems, form hypotheses from data, and design solutions that address root causes - not symptoms. You care about high-quality software and about the operational discipline required to run it safely at massive scale: reliability, observability, incremental rollout, and clear ownership.

You thrive with significant autonomy and expect to influence both technical direction and execution.

• Ability to debug complex problems across multiple layers of a software stack using metrics, profiling, telemetry, and experimentation.
• Ability to design solutions that can be delivered safely and incrementally in large-scale production.

• High ownership, quick learning, and comfort operating in a dynamic engineering environment.

Experience in one or more of the following is highly desirable:

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.

In 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.
