Role

Who you are

You have 5–8+ years of experience in software development, test automation framework architecture, and performance engineering in enterprise-grade SaaS or distributed systems
You have coding skills in Java, Python, or TypeScript/Node.js
You have hands-on experience with UI and API testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, RestAssured, Postman)
You have experience with load/performance tools (k6, JMeter, Gatling, or Locust) and observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, New Relic, or Splunk), plus familiarity with AWS (or GCP/Azure), Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tooling

Desirable

You have prior experience with Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Data Cloud, or Agentforce ecosystem testing
You've used AI coding/testing assistants (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) or tested LLM/RAG pipelines
You have a strong understanding of SQL query tuning, indexing strategies, and relational/NoSQL database performance

What the job involves

This role sits within our Quality Engineering organization, at the intersection of quality architecture, test automation, and performance optimization
You'll partner closely with developers, software architects, and product managers to ensure every release meets Salesforce's standards for quality, low latency, and enterprise-grade scalability
We're looking for a software engineer who designs scalable automation frameworks, drives shift-left quality methodologies, and tunes complex distributed systems to withstand enterprise-grade load — not someone who just tests code
Establish test strategies, customer usage modeling, and quality gates early in the design and development phases, and define critical quality metrics (test coverage, defect density, MTTR) to raise team standards
Lead cross-functional triage, identify architectural flaw patterns, and drive systemic fixes across the Agentic Development Life Cycle (ADLC)
Design, build, and maintain scalable automation frameworks for UI, REST/gRPC APIs, and microservices, and integrate automated regression, contract, and sanity suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Harness, GitHub) using containerized test environments (Docker/Kubernetes)
Architect and execute enterprise-scale performance scenarios (JMeter, k6, Locust) to simulate high-concurrency workloads, analyzing CPU, memory, database, and network metrics to uncover bottlenecks — then work with platform architects to set SLA/SLOs and optimize heap/GC settings and query execution plans

Our take

Salesforce is a global cloud computing company, best known for its on-demand, comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The company was launched to mitigate the doubts that business owners felt regarding third party companies holding their data.

By providing essential, customer-oriented CRM software, Salesforce places itself at the heart of digitised businesses. Furthermore, by building out its AI capabilities, the company removes the complexity of AI, enabling any business to deliver smarter, personalised and more predictive customer experiences.

Due to the continued innovation offered by the company, over 150,000 companies, both big and small, are growing their business with Salesforce today. Despite a tumultuous 2023 filled with activist investors, a boardroom shake-up and the unprecedented step-down of Co-CEO Bret Taylor, Salesforce continues to close several acquisition deals and managed to drive up its stock value by 96% from the end of 2022 to 2023.
