About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

What You’ll Be Doing & Why It Matters

Join the Salesforce Backup & Recover team in Tel Aviv, Israel, to build the backend systems that protect and restore customers’ critical Salesforce data. You work on distributed, cloud-based services at global scale, with AI as part of how the team builds.

Core Responsibilities & Scope

• Design, build, and ship secure, reliable backend services and APIs that back up and restore customer data at scale
• Build and ship production-grade software with AI as a core part of the development workflow, using AI tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code
• Design systems where AI agents work within human workflows, and help maintain the shared system context (designs, constraints, standards) that keeps AI output accurate and reliable
• Review code, whether written by a person or by AI, for correctness, quality, security, and performance, and mentor teammates

Minimum Requirements

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience in an object-oriented language such as Java, Python, Scala, C#, or Go, with services owned in production
• Experience building software as a service (SaaS) products on a public cloud such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, with solid SQL and database skills
• AI-first engineering approach: daily use of tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or Cursor, and structured prompting that produces reliable, secure, production-ready output
• Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with container orchestration and large-scale data processing frameworks (e.g. Kubernetes, Apache Spark, Apache Iceberg, and AWS Athena)
• Experience with distributed systems, such as queues, locks, scheduling, and event-driven design
• Experience with backup, recovery, data protection, or other data-management systems
• Experience building AI or agent-based features, or leading designs and mentoring other engineers

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination.

This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
