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.

The Team

Our team owns the defensive security of Salesforce Database — the production database system behind Salesforce's cloud platform, including its storage layer, backup and restore systems, and telemetry and operational infrastructure — storing customer data at a scale and criticality that few systems in the world match.

AI has changed the threat landscape: agents opened new production entry points, automated adversarial attacks demand instant response, and vulnerabilities must be addressed in hours. We are building the next-generation defense system for that reality: detection, compliance enforcement, agent security guardrails, and vulnerability management — it runs continuously and acts without waiting on manual review. This role is core to that effort.

Responsibilities

• You will own the design and hands-on implementation of security software that keeps SDB secure and compliant. Your work will span:
• Designing security detection and enforcement software for large-scale production database systems
• Building static and dynamic analysis pipelines for database vulnerability classes: SQL injection, privilege escalation, broken access control, and tenant-isolation breaches
• Applying ML to anomaly detection: data exfiltration, insider threat, and unusual access to customer data
• Building security guardrails for AI agents and LLMs operating on production databases: least-privilege configuration, scoped API access, sandbox isolation, and runtime behavioral monitoring
• Shipping automation for real-time detection and response to fast, automated attacks
• Driving vulnerability management and software composition analysis across the database platform
• Partnering with database engineering teams to embed security into the platform, from design review through production rollout

Requirements

• Deep understanding of database security, including multi-tenant isolation, access control, and data governance
• Experience leading threat modeling and architecture risk analysis for complex distributed database cloud environments
• Expert-level design of consistent security policies across AWS and GCP, including mitigating provider-specific edge cases
• Solid grasp of distributed systems and strong programming skills (Python / Rust / Go)
• Hands-on experience building or improving security detection and enforcement software for large-scale production database systems
• A track record of shipping and operating production software at scale, with a preference for direct delivery over writing specifications
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to lead security discussions across engineering teams and gain buy-in without formal authority
• This role requires 10+ years of professional experience. Experience with large-scale distributed databases or multi-tenant SaaS architectures is a strong plus.
• Unleash Your Potential
• When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best , and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best . Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world.
