Desirable

• The Salesforce Enterprise Security Engineering team is seeking an experienced software engineer to help design, build, and manage a self-service application administration platform (SSAAP)
• SSAAP is a highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed system focused on enabling enterprise customers to self-service onboard their applications to Identity and Access Management (IAM) services in compliance with Enterprise Security standards
• We are building identity and access services that unify our IT network, cloud platforms, and internal infrastructure — ensuring every Salesforce engineer can work securely, no matter the environment
• The team is looking for a full stack software development engineer with a track record of building modern services and applications following Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) best practices and secure development principles
• This role sits within the broader Enterprise Security Technology org, a team that has been in existence for over 10 years and is made up of roughly 30 individuals spanning engineering, product management, business analysis, and operations — all working together to support enterprise customers in onboarding their users and applications to Enterprise Security
• This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with a long runway — you'll be building and expanding a platform that directly accelerates mergers and acquisitions (M&A) integration and drives cost savings across the enterprise
• You'll work with engineering leads, architects, and cross-functional stakeholders to shape the future of IAM onboarding at Salesforce
• Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code
• Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale
• Contribute to building and maintaining the shared system context, an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably
• Critically evaluate code (human or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance
• Own the full development lifecycle for IAM solutions, including design, implementation, testing, deployment, maintenance, and continuous improvement of user experience
• Collaborate across core product teams, IAM service teams, and cross-functional partners (business analysts, UX designers, QA, product management, operations, governance) to refine requirements, ensure compliance, and deliver intuitive, high-quality solutions
• Develop and integrate features — including backend, frontend, and agentic components where applicable — while providing technical guidance and troubleshooting across platforms and technologies
• Review, triage, and prioritize incoming requests, assessing and implementing enhancements based on user needs, release timelines, and business objectives
• Create technical documentation and enablement materials to support developers, customers, and internal teams
• Mentor and support peers and junior engineers through knowledge sharing, coaching, and positive influence, particularly around modern development and user experience best practices
• Stay current with emerging technologies — including relevant AI and agentic advancements — and drive innovation within the IAM domain and overall user experience
