Description For Staff Software Engineer, Security

Salesforce is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for their Security team to work on their Security Operations team with a focus on the Nebula roadmap. This role involves contributing to an open-source project that originated at Slack, requiring collaboration with external corporate partners and internal stakeholders. The position is within a threat detection focused blue team and includes both incident response and on-call obligations.

The ideal candidate will work on a tier-0 service that all of Slack depends on, with opportunities to optimize performance and work alongside top-tier developers. The role encompasses work on the core open source codebase and a broader ecosystem including certificate authority, Kubernetes integration, and management of diverse deployments across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

This is a US-based position within a distributed SecOps team that collaborates with team members in Melbourne, Australia. The team operates in a positive, diverse, and supportive culture, seeking curious and inventive individuals who strive for continuous improvement. The role offers significant opportunity for growth and impact in engineering at Slack.

Key technologies include Go, Python, Kubernetes, and Elasticsearch, with most operations running on AWS. The position requires a deep understanding of security concepts and a passion for building robust, secure systems. The team values collaboration, creativity, and a commitment to solving problems thoroughly rather than applying quick fixes.
