Full Stack Software Engineer: Lead and Principal

Note: By applying to this posting, recruiters and hiring managers across the organization hiring for Full-Stack Software Engineers (Lead and Principal levels) will review your resume. Our goal is for you to apply once and have your resume reviewed by multiple hiring teams.

The software engineer role at Salesforce encompasses architecture, design, implementation, and testing to ensure we build products right and release them with high quality. Equally important is advanced prompt engineering — the ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready.
