Job description

The Performance Engineer we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Salesforce is honest about both. Trade your Spring Boot and 1 years for $54,000 - $84,000 at Salesforce, and the growth that follows is yours to build.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver temporary projects
• Negotiate Agile tradeoffs with product when Salesforce timelines and reality collide
• Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Manchester, NH and remote teams
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems

What You'll Bring

• Familiarity with gRPC and related tools or frameworks
• 1+ years of Linux reps, not just Linux exposure
• Comfort being accountable for a flat-and-fast outcome in a temporary role
• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• Fluency across Nginx and gRPC, with strong opinions on both

Long before technology was fashionable, Salesforce was already solving it for businesses scattered across NH. Our Manchester, NH team moves at a steady, sustainable pace and protects time for deep, focused Linux work.
