About The Position

Salesforce is seeking a dynamic engineering leader to own Salesforce Management Plane (SFMP), a framework built on safe-change principles that lets internal service owners onboard and execute pre-defined Day 2 production operations through REST APIs, with the guardrails, approvals, and auditability that safe production change requires, eliminating the need for standing production access. SFMP is central to Salesforce's move toward least-privilege, zero-touch production and a significant reduction in emergency production access across the fleet. The role combines deep expertise in production operations, security, and compliance with people-first leadership to deliver mission-critical tooling that service owners across Salesforce depend on to operate safely and compliantly at scale.

Proven track record leading platform, infrastructure, or developer-tools teams with end-to-end ownership
Strong technical grounding in production operations, REST API platforms, and security and access control, including role-based access control (RBAC) and least-privilege principles
Effective communicator across technical, product, and executive audiences

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with AI-native development tools, including large language models (LLMs) and agent orchestration
Lead with both technical authority and human-centric coaching
Advanced degree in Computer Science or Engineering
Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, compliance frameworks, or secure production tooling
Experience with least-privilege or zero-touch production initiatives at enterprise scale
Familiarity with Salesforce's internal infrastructure and change-management practices

Responsibilities

Champion AI-driven development practices and agentic workflows, helping every engineer multiply velocity through hybrid human-AI development
Partner with Product to drive the SFMP roadmap, including auto-discovery of service instances, operation-level access control, a central invocation engine, safe-change compliance, and multi-target execution
Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of eight engineers, cultivating a culture of security-first ownership and operational excellence
Champion observability, incident response, and compliance rigor, tracking key metrics for adoption, reduction in production-access requests, and system reliability
