About Salesforce
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Salesforce has immediate opportunities for software developers who want their lines of code to have significant and measurable positive impact for users, the company's bottom line, and the industry. You will be working with a group of world-class engineers to build the breakthrough features our customers will love, adopt, and use while keeping our trusted CRM platform stable and scalable. The software engineer role at Salesforce encompasses architecture, design, implementation, and testing to ensure we build products right and release them with high quality. Depending on the seniority level, this includes code review, mentoring junior engineers, and providing technical guidance to the team. We pride ourselves on writing high-quality, maintainable code that strengthens the stability of the product. We embrace the hybrid model and celebrate the individual strengths of each team member while encouraging everyone on the team to grow. We believe that autonomous teams with the freedom to make decisions will empower the individuals, the product, the company, and the customers they serve to thrive.
