Job Description
Salesforce is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and operate backend systems that power critical infrastructure at scale. This role involves working on distributed, high-availability services, owning significant components end-to-end, and shaping how the team builds reliable software. The engineer will stay deep in the code while mentoring others, treating AI as a core part of their everyday development workflow, and contributing to technical decisions that shape system direction.

- Strong proficiency in at least one backend programming language, such as Go, Java, Python, or Rust, and experience with distributed systems.
- Experience designing and operating Representational State Transfer (RESTful) or gRPC services, including database design and query optimization.
- Experience deploying and operating services in cloud environments, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or Microsoft Azure.

- Advanced prompt engineering skills and the ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready.
