About the Role

Join Salesforce's Workspace Engineering team to build and optimize remote development environments for our AI-first development organization. You'll design products and services that enable developers to deliver workflows with 10x productivity gains, collaborate across teams, contribute to open source, and implement cutting-edge AI solutions.

What You'll Do

Platform & Infrastructure

• Design and maintain Nix-based devcontainer images with s6-overlay lifecycle management, automated rebuild/rollback, and persistent home directories

• Build devcontainer features (Agentforce, OrgFarm, CoreApp settings) following framework standards

• Lead Gold Standard Workspaces initiative — defining and enforcing criteria for healthy, reproducible environments

Build Systems & Performance

• Own Bazel build infrastructure with Remote Build Execution (RBE) integration, cache optimization, and multi-codeline performance tuning

• Profile and resolve build bottlenecks, RBE failures, and cache hit ratios

• Partner with JetBrains and internal teams on IntelliJ BSP/Bazel plugin stability

Backend Services

• Develop sfw-controlplane-api: workspace provisioning pipelines, Temporal workflows, DynamoDB provisioning, snapshot lifecycle, and Hyperforce/Falcon deployments

• Participate in support hero rotation: triage Sev3+ incidents (snapshots, IDE connectivity, RBE issues)

• Maintain developer documentation for workspace setup and tooling

Leadership & Collaboration

• Partner with CBX/Bazel, SFCI, JetBrains, OrgFarm, Temporal, and Hyperforce teams

• Author technical designs, lead deep-dives, drive V2MOM measures, contribute to sprint planning
