Job Title: Lead Member of Technical Staff (LMTS) - Cloud Platform Location: New York, NY; San Francisco, CA About the Team The Cloud Platform Engineering team builds and operates the highly available, active-active mission-critical infrastructure that powers Salesforce at scale. We treat the internal cloud as a product designed to maximize developer velocity through automation-first thinking and a strict No Ticket-Ops philosophy. We are defining the next generation of platform engineering by running a LEAN, innovative team that leverages AI as much as humanly possible. By integrating AI agents directly into our GitOps workflows and our enterprise WorkOS (Slack), we aim to build a smart, secure platform that our internal developers love. The Shared Team DNA While every member of our team has a distinct focus area, we are all T-shaped engineers who learn from one another.

Your Impact - Responsibilities Strategic Architecture & Design: Architect the enterprise multi-account cloud landing zone, designing highly available, active-active multi-region architectures capable of automated, deterministic failover. Zero-Trust Networking: Architect global transit networks that enforce strict Private-by-Default segmentation and centralized egress inspection. Standards & Technical Governance: Establish the technical standards and security baselines (translating NIST 800-53 R5) that will be codified into reusable Golden Modules by the SRE team. Customer Advisory: Act as the principal consultant for internal application teams, advising them on cloud-native application design, state replication, and platform onboarding.
