Software Engineering Mts

Salesforce Salesforce · Enterprise · Redwood City, California - Palo Alto, California - San Francisco, CA

Salesforce is seeking a Software Engineer (MTS) for their Platform Engineering team within Cloud Infrastructure. This role focuses on building and operating internal developer platforms powering Kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI). Responsibilities include developing platform services in Go and Python, contributing to CI/CD pipelines using GitOps and IaC, and automating cluster management. The role emphasizes using AI tools to amplify engineering output and developing an agentic mindset for automation.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build and maintain platform services and automation in Go and Python that help manage Kubernetes clusters across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.
  2. Contribute to continuous deployment pipelines using GitOps tooling (Flux, Argo CD) and infrastructure-as-code frameworks (Pulumi, Terraform) to enable safe, repeatable releases.
  3. Be an AI amplifier: use AI tooling in your everyday engineering workflows — agentic coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code) for development, code review, automation, and operational runbooks — to force-multiply your output as you ramp.
  4. Develop an agentic mindset: learn to spot repetitive operational work and propose agent-driven or AI-augmented automations that reduce manual effort.
  5. Join on-call rotations as you ramp and help improve the operational posture of the platform through automation and post-incident learning.

Skills

Required

  • 1+ years of professional experience in cloud infrastructure engineering and continuous deployment.
  • Hands-on Kubernetes experience — deploying, troubleshooting, and automating workloads or clusters (networking, scaling, upgrades).
  • Good programming skills in Golang and/or Python, with experience building services, CLIs, or automation tooling.
  • Multi-cloud exposure, primarily AWS, with a working understanding of core compute, networking, IAM, and managed Kubernetes services.
  • Familiarity with GitOps using Flux or Argo CD, and infrastructure-as-code with Pulumi (or comparable tooling such as Terraform).
  • Demonstrated AI literacy and an emerging agentic mindset — you actively use AI tools in your daily engineering work (code generation, debugging, documentation, automation) and can speak to how AI has amplified your output.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, and an eagerness to learn and grow within a fast-moving platform team.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with Claude Code or other agentic coding tools — building agentic workflows, custom commands, or MCP integrations is a strong plus; any track record of being an AI amplifier stands out even more.
  • Experience with GCP, OCI, or Azure beyond AWS, especially managing Kubernetes (GKE, OKE, AKS) across providers.
  • Exposure to compliance-driven environments (FedRAMP, SOC 2) and sound security and change-management practices.
  • Familiarity with policy-as-code (Kyverno, OPA/Gatekeeper), supply-chain security (cosign, SBOM), or artifact/registry governance.
  • Exposure to internal developer platforms (IDPs), platform APIs, or developer experience tooling.
  • Contributions to open-source cloud-native projects (CNCF ecosystem).
