Обязанности
- As a Platform Lead Engineer at , you will partner with the Engineering Manager to set the technical vision for our Salesforce platform, then translate that vision into a clear, sequenced action plan. You'll own both the strategy and execution; setting direction in ambiguity and then delivering the plan to make it real. Your impact is measured less by features shipped and more by the leverage you create: how much safer, faster, and more reliable you make the teams that build on top of you.
- You'll model the standard for engineering excellence across , staying hands-on while building the technical capability and development practices of every pod that depends on the platform. This is a role where you'll Go Bold by challenging the status quo of our platform architecture, and Go Together by coaching and developing engineers across multiple disciplines.
- Technical Vision: Working with the EM to refine the technical vision for the platform, identifying the concrete steps to achieving that vision, and breaking these down to a granular level, so that these are executable by engineers in Q4 and subsequent quarters.
- Platform security : Own the cross-cutting security posture across the Salesforce platform, including access control frameworks, Connected Apps governance, vulnerability identification and remediation, and security vendor and tooling decisions.
- CI/CD and release engineering : Own the deployment pipeline and release-engineering programme across our major release cycles each year. Champion automation, ensure pipelines are fit for purpose, and improve the developer experience for engineers shipping changes.
- Data governance and compliance : Own the platform side of data governance, including GDPR data deletion, retention and archival strategy, and the standards pods rely on for compliant data handling.
- Platform monitoring and limits : Maintain and grow observability across the platform, proactively manage org limits and platform-level production risk, and prevent customer-facing problems before they occur.
- D360 pipeline : Own the maintenance and growth of the D360 pipeline as it relates to Salesforce, and its integration with the rest of the platform.
- AI operations : Set direction for the platform's emerging AI operations agenda, including agent registry, observability, and evaluation baselines, and alignment of Agentforce agents to shared standards. Shape the approach where there is no established playbook, then build the plan to deliver it.
- Engineering standards and enablement : Contribute to 's engineering standards and frameworks, and work closely with engineering leadership to apply them across the platform and the pods that build on it. Identify capabilities that need to be grown and enable delivery teams to adopt them.
