Whether in our own data centers or the public cloud, we do not succeed unless we enable both security and agility. Intense focus on the developer ecosystem lets us curate that experience to increase productivity. We value security, healthy commit-to-deploy latency, growing our customer base, and exceeding SLA targets.Secrets management is a cornerstone of enterprise cloud security. We are looking for brilliant engineers who are interested in distributed systems and in helping us to build a world class Secrets Management solution across Salesforce.

• You eat, sleep, and breathe services. You have experience balancing live-site management, feature delivery, and retirement of technical debt.
• You have a magical touch for improving existing systems (and you can quantify the improvements with automated metrics). You can express a new design in code, deliver it to production, and plan for ownership succession. You know that the difficult part of the programmers job lies in reading and comprehending the code of others - not in authoring new code.
• Peter Parker has a spidey sense - so do you. Your sense informs you when something can be made simpler, when an idea can be expressed more succinctly, more readable. You can translate these intuitions into understandable lessons for your peers and mentees. You can write a manifesto on YAGNI. And seal it with a KISS.
• You love giving and receiving code reviews. You sweat the details. You authored (or improved upon) the coding standards guide for your team.
• Lots of engineers know their powers of two or the first 9 digits of pi. You have that covered, and you know how many seconds of downtime are permitted per day and per week for a three, four, or five 9s SLA.
• You have deep familiarity with crash-only and recovery-oriented software design.
• Building reliable, self-healing services on unreliable hardware is exciting to you, and you know that the code is the infrastructure.
• Possibly you were not born in the cloud, but it is where you grew up. Designing, developing, debugging, and operating resilient distributed systems that run across thousands of compute nodes in multiple data centers is your daily life.
• You havent just used, but have built and operated the distributed platforms that define cloud-scale infrastructure.
