The Experience

Salesforce’s Product Security team within the broader Security organization is at the forefront of securing our customer data and assets while balancing risk and security posture. We thrive on collaboration with product and engineering teams to drive risk outcomes and help maintain trust for our customers.

This role is on the Security Foundations team within our product security organization, and requires a blend of real-world experience and deep knowledge in software security, including application security, cloud security, secure coding practices, and security architecture, with a specific focus on application and infrastructure risk identification and remediation. These risks may be strategic in nature, impacting multiple products or tools.

This role is focused on proactive discovery and remediation of emerging risk patterns via Attack Surface Management and targeted hands-on security assessments.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of identifying systemic risk through uncovering of underlying common patterns representing systemic flaws, investigating and drafting Root Cause Analyses for complex vulnerabilities, and configuring/analyzing/triaging risk signals from monitoring and detection tooling. This role is responsible for leading investigations into, and coordinating remediation for systemic risks across Salesforce’s products.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Drive adoption of proactive security measures and guardrails, such as automated secure coding checks, centralized input validation libraries, and robust access control mechanisms.
• Update organizational standards, policies and procedures as necessary to prevent systemic flaws from being re-introduced.
• Educate developers on secure coding practices and common systemic flaws.
• Influence Product Management & Engineering roadmaps to drive architectural improvements and adopt secure-by-default product features.
• Review technical design and architecture documentation or source code for product features.
• Triage security findings, alerts or bug reports to find common patterns representing widespread or recurring security issues.
• Identify variants or broadly similar instances of existing security anti-patterns using commercial, custom, and/or open-source code and runtime testing tools.
• Validate security issues with a proof-of-concept to confirm exploitability when necessary.
• Collaborate with engineers and developers to build context required to pinpoint and articulate risk.
• Develop scalable approaches for risk remediation, mitigation, and prevention. These should include Agentic AI and process automation.
• Frame engineering risks to enterprise and other Security partners at levels of seniority up to and including C-suite leaders.
• Collaborate with other security teams to incorporate lessons learned from risk identification and remediation into proactive controls.
• Engage in executive forums, as necessary, to articulate risk remediation strategies in a manner that resonates with the audience.
• Rapidly adapt to new and emerging high-risk areas, effectively persuading stakeholders to pivot priorities where required.

You’re Our Person If…

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience is required
• Proven communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, including technical and non-technical teams.
• An attacker’s mindset; consider abuse and attack paths as well as the defensive mindset to recommendations to prevent them
• A passion around improving the security development lifecycle and delivering security guidance to engineers in a language they understand.
• Ability to work with data, identify trends and propose comprehensive mitigations that eradicate systemic security concerns.
• Experience participating in an information security program and improving or proposing improvements to a secure development lifecycle
• Threat modeling of security topics across infrastructure security & application security domains. Understanding of, or experience managing infrastructure and platform access control models, best practices for configuring secure Salesforce orgs, session authentication and API security best practices, and use of Agentic AI to streamline risk detection and evaluation.
• Excellent writing and presentation skills.
• Possess the ability to communicate concisely, clearly, and intelligently to cross functional teams.

Even Better If…

• Proven ability to drive enterprise-ready features to release prioritizing Trust without sacrificing usability
• Strong technical aptitude; comfortable engaging with engineering on architecture, APIs, and platform implications
• Experience working with InfoSec, Legal, and IT stakeholders at Fortune 500 companies
• Demonstrated expertise in navigating security incident response efforts, including direct engagement with executive leadership, legal counsel, and external parties to resolve complex security issues.
• Strategic thinker with an understanding of the evolving global threat landscape and its implications for millions of users.
• Familiarity with NIST standards, specifically NIST CSF 2.0 and NIST 800-53
