Job Details

Our Security Software Engineering team builds and operates highly scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed systems to deliver cloud-scale security software services. We provide the fundamental building blocks to improve and preserve customer trust in Salesforce's products across multiple public cloud substrates and our own network infrastructure. We leverage many open source technologies, including big data, machine learning, no-SQL database, container, Kubernetes, Istio to architect and implement our services, to protect Salesforce products/infrastructure and defend against malicious attacks. Our products' massive complexity requires our software engineers to be highly adaptive to new technology and methodologies, and having the strong ability to deliver reliable software services under pressure. Prior security knowledge is not strictly required. You will have the unique opportunity to learn from the best industry security experts and integrate that into your software and service engineering.

Some key investments in our space include:

Data Security: Develop and deliver our reliable and scalable foundational services. These key building blocks - like key and secret management systems, PKI (public key infrastructure), service-to-service authn/authz and data encryption - enable the security of all other services and permit the protection of our customer data.

Identity and Access: Design and implement consistent and scalable identity and access services for all of Salesforce, integrating our IT network, public cloud infrastructure and our own data centers, and empowering all our engineers to operate these environments in secure manner.

Threat Detection and Response Engineering:- Develop highly scalable, automatic and flexible defense system integrating extensive data collection, big data processing, machine learning detection, automatic response, and automatic mitigation across all our data centers, IT infrastructure and public cloud environments.
Trust is Salesforces number one value. And we invest heavily in the security space to create the most secure enterprise cloud platform. Threat Detection & Response is one of the most critical components of our security defense system. It involves complex subsystems including massive data collection, detection through complex rules and machine learning, highly scalable response automation, deep investigation capability and mitigation solutions. All these solutions are built in our cloud environment with large scale distributed system. The architects and engineers in the D&R Engineering organization will partner with other security teams to design, implement and run these complex services. You are expected to bring in deep architecture and design knowledge, excellent engineering practice, as well as capability to provide high quality hands-on implementation.

Threat and Vulnerability Management Engineering: The TVM team ingests vulnerability information for millions of assets (software/hardware/mobile) from the Salesforces cloud infrastructure (public cloud and on-prem) via multiple ETL pipelines. The vulnerability information and associated metadata across tens/hundreds of dimensions is stored into a dedicated warehouse. Our mission is to build this warehouse as a highly-available store and provide business intelligence insights leveraging the data within. Our BI capabilities should include analysis insights into vulnerability source and recommended remediation, as well as API access including subscription-based vulnerability data feeds and distributed data processing capabilities with sub-minute response times for retrieving insights across various dimensions.

Network Security:
The Network Security Engineering team is building a new internal cloud platform for various network security controls and management. Our mission is to develop highly-available and performant distributed systems to provide security at the network level in our private and public clouds, including micro-segmentation, network policy distribution, access control at host/device level, distributed firewall and DDoS prevention. Our scope is a wide range of compute substrates, including bare metal hosts, VMs, and containers.

Preferred Skills:

* 5+ years of experience and passion for service ownership, building reliable/self-healing services.

* Experience working in a complex team environment. Able to deliver under pressure and dependency constraints.

* Java, Go, Python, C/C++

* Knowledge working with relational database MySQL, Postgres

* Familiar with open source technologies, such as ZooKeeper, MongoDB

* Experience with big data and pipeline technologies, such as Hadoop, Kafka

* Knowledge or experience with machine learning

* Experience building large scale distributed systems, especially in cloud environments
