Within the platform development group at Salesforce, we strive to build the best technology to enable our customers and partners to build customized solutions, grow fast, and be successful. We think of ourselves as a customer company which means we value our relationship with the customer and carry the customers trust as our highest priority in everything we do. We use our community, data, feedback and technology to quickly adapt, learn and continuously improve.

Platform development teams are constantly building and refining processes to aid our work. We believe in collaboration, trust, transparency, accountability, calculated risk taking, self-reflection, continuous improvement and having fun. We celebrate wins and learn from our failures, big and small.

We are looking for an engineering manager to protect and foster our culture, to keep trust alive in every decision, to respect our people and to move fast. We want you to be curious, have a passion for learning, enjoy problem solving and thrive on helping high-performing teams deliver. You should have excellent communication skills as you will need to be able to forge relationships and work closely with product management, security, quality, performance and support engineers. You will have good organization and leadership skills and know how and when to apply them to manage a team of smart, passionate engineers. We value building combined teams where there is no split between quality and development engineers. You will thrive in owning and being accountable for the engineering and quality assurance cycle in addition to attracting talent that shares these values. The most important characteristic we look for is the ability to figure out what should be done and get it done within the spirit of salesforce-this requires thoughtfulness with a bias towards taking action and assuming responsibility.

Being innovative while delivering fast can only be achieved if focus is kept on building the things that matter most.
