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 Experience

Are you a distributed systems expert passionate about building large-scale database technologies that support relentless growth and innovation?

We’re looking for experienced Core Database Internals Engineers with a strong background in database internals and distributed systems to join a team responsible for architecting, developing, and testing the next generation of cloud-native database. You’ll join a team of highly skilled, motivated software engineers and database experts, designing and developing robust, highly scalable software products to support Salesforce’s rapid growth.

You’ll need familiarity with database internals, distributed systems, or networking; interest in systems programming; strong software engineering skills; and enthusiasm for working on complex, highly concurrent, scalable, and resilient systems. You should have a track record of end-to-end ownership of architecture, design, implementation, monitoring, testing, and product support on large, mission-critical systems at petabyte scale.

Areas you may work on include logging/recovery, distributed lock management, distributed transactions, networking, cluster management, replication, high availability, monitoring, and serviceability. We work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative, agile environment. We’re a hybrid team that values end-to-end service ownership - from concept to architecture, design to implementation, and testing to deployment and customer support.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Design and develop core distributed database system functionality..
Develop new architecture and designs to solve complex scalability problems..
Generate ideas to improve robustness and performance..
Implement comprehensive functional and system tests for your area of responsibility and for overall database quality..
Debug issues, conduct root cause analysis, and diagnose defects..
Actively participate in the release and deployment process..

You're Our Person If...

BS or higher degree in Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience..
MS or PhD in databases or distributed systems is a plus..
Strong CS fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems..
6+ years of experience in systems or database internals programming..
6+ years of experience designing, building, and supporting large-scale systems..
Deep expertise in distributed computing (e.g., system architecture, communication, distributed consensus, and transactional protocols)..
Strong understanding of low-level operating system concepts, including multi-threading, memory management, networking, storage, performance, and scale..
Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with a results-oriented approach and good ideas for innovation..
Ability to learn quickly and deliver high-quality code in a fast-paced, dynamic, agile team environment..
Strong Java or C programming skills..

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.

Accommodations

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.

At Salesforce, we believe in equitable compensation practices that reflect the dynamic nature of labor markets across various regions.

For Ontario-based roles, the base salary hiring range for this position is CAD 154,700 to CAD 204,700 annually.

The range represents base salary only, and does not include company bonus, incentive for sales roles, equity or benefits, as applicable.

This posting is to fill a vacancy on our team, unless otherwise noted.
