Description For Sr. or Lead DevOps Engineer

Salesforce is seeking a Senior or Lead DevOps Engineer to join their Technology, Marketing & Products Engineering team. This role is crucial in innovating and maintaining a substantial distributed systems engineering platform that serves tens of millions of users daily. The platform requires high reliability, performance, and security while supporting extensive customization capabilities.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, agile environment where you'll be responsible for critical services and engineering solutions for the cloud.

Key responsibilities include maintaining high availability of services through on-call rotation, developing automation solutions, and mentoring junior engineers. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in cloud infrastructure, containerization, and CI/CD practices, combined with strong communication skills and a passion for continuous learning.

The position offers competitive compensation and the opportunity to work in prime locations including San Francisco, Bellevue, or McLean. You'll be part of a team that's defining the next generation of trusted enterprise computing in the cloud, making a significant impact on how businesses operate and scale their operations.
