Job Details
The ExperienceWe're building a new internal cloud platform for network security controls and management. Our mission: develop highly-available, performant distributed systems that provide security at the network level across Salesforce's public cloud - microsegmentation, network policy distribution, access control, distributed firewalls, and DDoS prevention. Our scope spans VMs and containers across cloud compute substrates.
We're a team focused on securing Salesforce's public cloud at the network layer. We design and operate platforms that enforce security policy across a multi-cloud, multi-substrate environment. If you're passionate about distributed systems, networking, and building security infrastructure at scale, reach out!
What You'll Do- Architect and implement distributed systems for network-level security controls - policy management, ACL enforcement, distributed firewalls, and DDoS/network protection
- Develop microservices to support our network security platforms at cloud infrastructure and distributed platform levels
- Research and implement networking security solutions for intra and cross-region network flows
- Operate security platforms in a full DevOps model - you build it, you run it
- Elevate engineering excellence through code reviews and mentorship
- Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code.
- Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.
- Contribute to building and maintaining the shared system context, an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably.
- Critically evaluate code (human or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance.
You're Our Person If You Have:- 2 years in SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS software development
- 2 years in a high-availability 24/7 environment (cloud platforms a plus)
- A demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to engineering - using AI to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty.
- Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, etc.) in development workflows.
- 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.
- Proficiency in Go, Java, C++, or Python
- A related technical degree is required.
Even Better If You Have:- Network security platforms - segmentation, ACLs, DDoS protection
- Cloud network architecture (VPCs, security groups, NACLs, transit gateways, PrivateLink)
- Cloud security services (AWS Shield, WAF, Azure Firewall, GCP Cloud Armor)
- Container networking and service mesh (Cilium, Calico)
- Strong fundamentals in networking protocols (TCP/UDP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP/HTTPS) and the OSI model
- Auth frameworks (SSO, SAML, OAuth), secure transport (TLS/SSL), and identity management (certs, PKI)
- DevOps orientation - you test, monitor, deploy, and maintain what you build
