About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Our Mission

Own the Strategy: Work directly with me and other leaders to define andexecute the security strategy. Your job is to spot the blind spots and move the needle on our security posture.

Identify & Prioritize Risk: You will identify systemic risk within our Salesforce environment and related infrastructure. You will be responsible for prioritizing actions based on their impact, not on their ease of implementation.

Build the Playbook: Where security programs are weak or non-existent, you will build them. This includes creating scalable, repeatable processes and playbooks that our teams can use to secure our platforms.

Get in the Weeds: You are not just a strategist. You'll dive into code, analyze network flows, and reverse-engineer problems. You must be able to lead from the front.

What you should have:

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in a security engineering or architecture role within a high-growth tech company.

• Proven expertise across security domains: You have a deep understanding of AppSec, InfraSec, and CloudSec. You know how these domains intersect and where they fail in practice.

• Deep Security Experience: You've secured enterprise-level environments. This goes beyond basic administration; you understand the security model, data architecture, and integration points.

• Built scalable security programs: You have a demonstrable track record of building and scaling security programs from the ground up, not just maintaining legacy systems.

• Technical depth that commands respect: You can dissect code, understand infrastructure, and talk shop with engineers without hand-waving.

What you will be doing:

• Navigating through ambiguity and build order from chaos.

• Thinking at a strategic level but aren't afraid to dive deep and execute.

• Being pragmatic, results-oriented mindset and prioritize real risk reduction over security theater.

• Translating complex technical risks into clear, actionable recommendations for engineers and executives alike.
