DevOps Engineering AMTS

Salesforce•Herndon, VA

About The Position

We are looking for an early-career DevOps engineer to join a team of highly motivated software, systems and security engineers, working on infrastructure at scale. Be part of the team that solves infrastructure deployment problems with software, delivering high velocity and high quality infrastructure in public cloud environments. This role offers the opportunity to build a foundation in solving infrastructure problems with code, with a focus on compute capacity and Kubernetes deployments at scale. You will come up to speed with Hyperforce platform tooling supporting Commercial and GovCloud deployments, developing expertise in Infrastructure and Service builds (Day0) and redeployment (Day2) operations. The role involves transforming manual processes into automated governance solutions, creating and maintaining documentation for systems and processes, and collaborating with various Infrastructure teams across Salesforce, growing your influence and cross-functional skills. You will work with a highly innovative team of developers, open-source committers, and architects — researching the right tools for the job, and helping build them when they don't exist yet.
