Data Engineer (SMTS / LMTS) - MDM

Salesforce•Indianapolis, IN

1d•$178,900 - $285,800

About The Position

Salesforce is building the most comprehensive understanding of business relationships across our global customer ecosystem. A critical pillar of this effort is Master Data Management (MDM): the systems that identify, enrich, deduplicate, and govern every business entity and corporate hierarchy we interact with. We are seeking talented engineers at the Senior Member of Technical Staff (SMTS) and Lead Member of Technical Staff (LMTS) levels to join our MDM Engineering organization. In these roles, you will design, develop, and operate critical MDM capabilities — including entity resolution, golden record management, corporate hierarchy automation, and enterprise data integration solutions — while leveraging modern AI technologies to build developer tools, engineering automation, and productivity accelerators across the MDM ecosystem. At the LMTS level, you will drive technical strategy, architect end-to-end platforms, and provide cross-functional leadership. At the SMTS level, you will serve as a hands-on technical leader with a bias for action, translating architecture into scalable, production-grade systems. Both roles partner closely with Product Management, Data Governance, Architecture, Systems Integrator partners, and downstream consuming teams.
