About The Position

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. We are looking for experienced Core Database Internals Engineers with a strong background in database internals and distributed systems to join a team responsible for architecting, developing, and testing the next generation of RDBMS.

You should have familiarity with database internals, distributed systems, or networking; an interest in systems programming; strong software engineering skills; and enthusiasm for working on complex, highly concurrent, highly scalable, and resilient systems.

Areas you may work on include logging/recovery, distributed lock management, replication, high availability, compression, cache management, encryption, scale-out, monitoring, and serviceability. This is a fast-paced, collaborative, agile, hybrid team that values end-to-end service ownership, from concept through architecture, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and customer support.
