About Salesforce
We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.
Salesforce powers some of the largest companies on the globe with its core CRM offering. One of the components of this infrastructure that helps achieve the global scale involves network software that provides optimized and secure connectivity - between our customers and the application, between our data centers and customer applications. The Network Software team is responsible for delivering complex software products that deliver this experience to our customers. As our service and platform grow to fully embrace lights-out operations, single-click deploy to tens of thousands of nodes, and services that self-heal and self-optimize, we have to balance this with global scale and traffic distribution to enhance our end user experience.
The Network Software team is hiring a Backend Engineer with distributed systems, micro-services, and public cloud experience to support this growth. The role will lead the design, development, testing, and operations of both CDN Orchestration and CDN visibility services designed, developed and operated by the Network Software team. CDN Orchestration services manage CDN enablement for millions of enterprise customers. We program a handful of commercial CDNs and a custom purpose-built CDN. CDN visibility services provide near real-time analytical and predictive AI capabilities that are used to heal and optimize our end user experience.
