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.

Tableau Cloud is a SaaS visual analytics product and the most rapidly growing business in Tableau. Cloud Engineering is a lean group charged with scaling Tableau Cloud and how we operate it to meet this demand. As Software Engineering SMTS (Senior Member of Technical Staff) of the Pod Infrastructure Team, you will be working to ensure Tableau Cloud can meet its growth goals by building scalable, resilient, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure and services.

Responsibilities:

  • Write clean code with high test coverage.
  • Can work relatively independently when a plan is agreed to and are relied on to solve implementation challenges, because you understand the designs and architecture of your team's features.
  • Are able to refine and clarify the scope of your work, and organize work so it can be forecast and delivered effectively.
  • Understand the technical, operational, and business context of your team's area and of the customer persona you build for.
  • Understand engineering best practices and apply them to the development lifecycle for your team.
  • Analyze and fix bugs with guidance from more senior Engineers.
  • Confidently ask questions to expand your knowledge of the team's features, designs, processes, and quality implementations.
  • Exhibit ownership beyond just finishing coding your features, for example, by taking an active role in defining tests and monitoring your code in production.
  • Regularly present ideas and results to your team and contribute to documentation.

Required Experience:

  • 2+ years of industry (non-intern) experience coding commercial software and a passion for solving complex problems.
  • 1+ years of experience of using Java/Python to build highly reliable software and services.
  • 1+ years with hands-on AWS experience, with services like RDS, EFS, S3, OpenSearch and Elasticache/REDIS.
  • 1+ years of experience in infrastructure automation using Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi etc.
  • Familiarity with deployment and release management tools like Spinnaker.
  • Experienced in cross-collaborating on projects across development teams, particularly using Agile methodologies. 

Who You Are:

Technical. You're fluent in commonly used design patterns and can constructively review the work of others to ensure high quality. You're familiar with services and different service-oriented architectures. You can quickly see and understand architecture and where your team fits in. You have a keen eye for quality and is a strong advocate for engineering excellence.

DevOps Mindset. You are familiar with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) concepts. You treat operational issues as if they are software problems. You view software as a primary tool to manage, maintain, fix, and extend systems required to support large development environments. You promote operational excellence!

A True Team Player. You enjoy collaborating, learning from or teaching others so we can all become better developers.

Customer Advocate. You understand customer requirements and prioritize for maximum customer/user experience.

Passionate. You are passionate about technology and the work you do; you always want to do your best to delight the customers, help your team, and strive for excellence.
