Job Title: Member of Technical Staff (MTS) - Cloud Security Automation Engineer 

Location: New York, NY; San Francisco, CA

About the Team 

The Shared Team DNA While every member of our team has a distinct focus area, we are all "T-shaped" engineers who learn from one another. Regardless of your title, you must share our collective passion for:

• Customer Focus: Treating internal developers as our primary customers and prioritizing their velocity and user experience.

• Automation: Eradicating manual toil and "ticket-ops" via GitOps and AI-augmented workflows.

• Security: Believing that security should be "shifted left" and built into the code, not bolted on as an afterthought.

• SRE Mindset: Engineering for failure, prioritizing self-healing systems, and maintaining a 99.999% availability standard.

• Observability: Relying on telemetry, centralized logging, and ChatOps to proactively identify and resolve issues.

About the Role

As our Cloud Security Automation Engineer, you are responsible for ensuring that our high-velocity platform remains impenetrable. While the SRE team builds the automation engine, you build the brakes and the guardrails. You will translate dense compliance frameworks (like NIST 800-53) and strict corporate data policies into automated, programmatic rules. You will "feed the brain" of our AI agents and Policy-as-Code engines, ensuring that any infrastructure deployed by our developers is validated for security and compliance before it ever reaches production.

Your Impact - Responsibilities

• Policy-as-Code: Write, test, and maintain the exact rules (e.g., OPA/Rego) that evaluate developer Pull Requests to ensure they meet Mission-Critical data classification standards.

• AI Agent Management: Maintain and update the knowledge base and rule sets used by our AI-augmented GitOps agents, ensuring they are instantly aware of newly released internal security standards.

• Preventative & Detective Guardrails: Implement programmatic boundaries (e.g., Service Control Policies) to restrict unauthorized regions, mandate encryption, and enforce a strict "Private-by-Default" network posture.

• Continuous Compliance & Observability: Ensure that all operational and audit telemetry is aggregated into centralized, tamper-proof storage, and monitor aggregated threat detection dashboards to resolve anomalies.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or relevant work experience

• 4+ years of experience in cloud security, DevSecOps, or security automation engineering.

• Hands-on experience writing and deploying Policy-as-Code (e.g., Open Policy Agent, Rego, Sentinel).

• Deep understanding of enterprise cloud security constructs, centralized policy enforcement, and KMS cryptography.

• Familiarity with translating rigorous compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST SP 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC2) into automated technical controls.

• Strong scripting skills (Python, bash) for developing automated security remediation lambda functions.

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.

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.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
