Transform manual processes into automated governance solutions
Create and maintain documentation for systems and processes
Collaborate with various Infrastructure teams across Salesforce, growing your influence and cross-functional skills
Work with a highly innovative team of developers, open-source committers, and architects — researching the right tools for the job, and helping build them when they don't exist yet

Foundational Linux/Unix knowledge (command line proficiency, basic system administration)
Experience with at least one scripting or programming language (Shell, Python, or Golang)
Basic understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPCs, security groups)
Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
Experience using AI tools (e.g., AI coding assistants, generative AI) to accelerate development or automate workflows
Strong analytical skills and a demonstrated desire for continuous learning
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
Preferred Qualifications
Internship experience in a DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure role

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. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. 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.
