About the role

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.

As a senior/lead IC, you'll set the technical direction, mentor engineers, tackle thorny technical challenges, and raise the bar for the whole team. If you're well-versed and passionate about Core and near-Core systems, systems programming, and building highly concurrent, highly scalable, resilient systems, this is the team for you.
