About The Position

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. The Experience You'll be joining the Lists Team within Salesforce Core Platform — a highly collaborative, full-stack engineering group that owns the Lists product end-to-end on the Salesforce Core Application. Our backend pillar builds foundational Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and services in Java, owning all the code that supports list views, related lists, and their creation, updates, filtering, and deletion. Our frontend pillar creates client-side display layers in Lightning Web Components (LWC) and Aura, allowing users to find and interact with their data. We have backend- and frontend-focused engineers, but we work as one seamless unit and share ownership of critical, reusable components like LWC Common Lists, which are used by teams across Salesforce to build their own list-based interfaces. As key contributors to strategic company initiatives, we are actively building new List functionality for Agentforce-related projects — and your lines of code will have significant, measurable impact for users, our customers, and the industry.

Responsibilities

Architect, design, implement, test, and deliver highly scalable products
Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow — pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code
Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale
Contribute to building and maintaining shared system context — an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably; critically evaluate code (human- or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance
Master our development process, culture, and codebase — then improve it
Operate efficiently in a hybrid engineering model where engineers are encouraged to craft and implement work that ensures quality in their own code as well as across specialties
Mentor others in development technologies, tools, and processes
Present your own designs to internal and external groups and review designs of others
Develop test strategies, design automation frameworks, and write unit and functional tests to drive code coverage and automation metrics
Participate in the team's on-call rotation to address complex problems in real time and keep services operational and highly available
