Original job description

Description

The Ajna team builds and operates Salesforce’s internal Kafka-as-a-Service platform - the distributed messaging backbone that powers real-time data pipelines, alerting, analytics, and event streaming across every major Salesforce product and cloud environment.

The platform serves a broad ecosystem of internal engineering teams across commercial, GovCloud, and sovereign cloud environments globally. This team pursues principled, high-impact architectural evolution with direct consequences at production scale.

The team operates with distributed coverage across Pacific and India Standard Time zones, maintains continuous on-call coverage, and is actively invested in intelligent automation - including AI-powered tooling built in-house to support triage and auto-remediation at scale.

What We Are Looking For

  • Strong distributed systems fundamentals, including deep understanding of Kafka internals (leader election, ISR management, consumer groups, log compaction, partition rebalancing) and the ability to reason about consistency and availability trade-offs in multi-tenant environments
  • Kubernetes engineering proficiency, including StatefulSets, Autoscaling, PersistentVolumeClaims, and Helm; demonstrated experience debugging production Kubernetes workloads
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform for cloud resources (IAM, object storage, messaging, block storage)
  • Java engineering depth; the team’s core services are Java-based and require clean, performant, operationally sound implementation
  • Operational ownership mindset: participation in on-call rotation, production incident investigation, and systematic root cause analysis
  • Strong written communication skills and the ability to produce architectural designs that influence decisions across team and organizational boundaries

Your Impact

  • Deliver cloud infrastructure automation tools, frameworks, workflows, and validation platforms on our public cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, Azure, or Alibaba
  • Designing, developing, debugging, and operating resilient distributed systems that run across thousands of compute nodes in multiple data centers
  • Using and contributing to open source technology (Spinnaker, Zookeeper, etc.)
  • Developing Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform
  • Writing microservices on containerization frameworks such as Kubernetes, Docker, Mesos
  • Resolving complex technical issues and drive innovations that improve system availability, resilience, and performance
  • Eat, sleep, and breathe services. You have experience balancing live-site management, feature delivery, and retirement of technical debt
  • Participate in the team’s on-call rotation to address complex problems in real-time and keep services operational and highly available

Required Skills

  • A related technical degree required
  • 4+ years backend software development experience
  • Deep knowledge of programming in Java, Golang, Python, or Ruby
  • Experience using and contributing to open source technology: Kafka, Spinnaker, Zookeeper
  • Experience owning and operating multiple instances of a critical service
  • Experience with Agile development methodology and Test Driven Development
  • Experience with critical infrastructure services including, monitoring, alerting, logging, and reporting applications
