Who you are
- If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place
- We are looking to add experienced distributed systems engineers who are passionate, hungry for new challenges, can step up and own big chunks of that vision

- Experience working in a complex, geographically diverse team environment. Able to deliver under pressure and dependency constraints

- Familiar with Hyperforce technologies/deployments
- Good knowledge with network technologies, such as TCP/IP, DNS, TLS termination, HTTP proxies, etc
- Familiarity with crash-only and recovery-oriented software design
- Excited by building reliable, self-healing microservices on unreliable hardware
- Experience designing, developing, debugging, and operating resilient distributed systems that run across thousands of compute nodes in multiple data centers
- Capable of driving and delivering thin slices of end-to-end functionality on a regular cadence with data-driven feedback loops
Desirable

- Experience with Helm charts, Spinnaker

What the job involves
- The Microservices Platform (Service Mesh) team is building a highly scalable and distributed load balancing and gateway service to front all customer traffic coming into Salesforce
- We provide simple declarative interfaces for L4/L7 load balancing, TLS termination, end-to-end encryption, along with support for richer traffic policies such as blue/green deployments, access control, etc
- Our software stack is based on leading edge open source software like Envoy for dataplane and Istio for control plane
- The opportunities to enhance the capabilities of the OSS software and contribute back to the community are immense, and the team has already made active upstream contributions to the Envoy/Istio projects

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.
