About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Team Overview

This enables detection of complex threats, such as impossible logins occurring simultaneously across non‑Salesforce applications, indicating potential account compromise. Insights are surfaced through Security Center and proactively delivered via Agentforce.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• AI-first mindset: Strong orientation toward leveraging AI‑driven tools, automation, and intelligent workflows to improve developer productivity, system capabilities, and overall product value.
• Adaptable and results‑driven: Comfortable working in a fast‑evolving environment built on Salesforce Core and dependent on multiple teams (Data Cloud, Tableau Next, ATF, etc.).
• Strong collaboration skills: A proactive team player who engages across teams to drive solutions and improvements.
• Ownership and leadership: Takes full ownership of features end‑to‑end and actively contributes to design and architectural decisions.
