About Salesforce

We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

The Content Experience (CX) group is responsible for the authoring and maintenance of world-class product knowledge information for Salesforce’s suite of products. From help topics to API references to Trailhead courses, hundreds of CX creators whip up the best content in the industry, and they need world-class technical infrastructure to match, in order to deliver content at scale on a daily basis.

CX Technologies is the technical arm of the larger CX group, and we are looking for a Senior Member of Technical Staff to come on board and help us fulfill our vision of enabling frictionless, delightful experiences for all phases of the author and content lifecycles. Or, using words a normal human would say, we want Salesforce writers and content to have the best lives ever, and we want your help to make that a reality.

This position is on our Content Platform scrum team, which delivers enterprise-class tools, services, and infrastructure that allow Salesforce content producers to create fun and engaging learning experiences for our customers. As a key engineering partner, you will be responsible for helping to architect, build, test, maintain, and expand the technical capabilities of our infrastructure using multiple technologies with a focus on DevOps and backend development. You will work on every part of our technology stack, including integration with other systems. You will collaborate in a dynamic environment with other engineers, product managers, technical program managers, and more to move our product vision forward, and have fun while doing it. This position is a great balance of working for a large, established company, while still getting the individual support you need for growing your personal and professional self. Lastly, you will need to understand the massive importance of building and maintaining authentic, positive relationships with your team members and stakeholders.
