**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.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Salesforce services have reliability, capacity, performance and the availability to deliver our customer’s needs and a rate of improvement that our customers expect.

Our software development focuses on enabling service owners to operate their services safely at scale, whether through paved path integrations onto observability frameworks, optimizing existing systems, designing infrastructure or eliminating work through AI/ML. On the SRE team, you’ll have the opportunity to manage the complex challenges of scale which are unique to Salesforce, while using your expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis and large-scale system design. Experience with AI/ML systems, autonomous agents, or observability for intelligent platforms is a strong plus.

SRE’s culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Our organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.
