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.

• Lead and execute advanced penetration tests across web applications, APIs, cloud and hybrid infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker), identity and authorization boundaries, internal and external enterprise attack surfaces, and AI/ML-enabled systems including large language model (LLM)-backed applications and Agentic AI.
• Perform manual exploitation beyond automated tooling, including business logic abuse, privilege escalation, identity and trust relationship abuse, and AI-specific offensive testing such as prompt injection and indirect prompt injection.
• Own engagements end to end - from scoping and test execution to risk assessment, clear reporting, and remediation guidance - developing deep technical understanding of systems to uncover systemic weaknesses, not just isolated bugs.
• Partner with engineering, security architecture, AppSec, and Detection and Response teams to explain root causes, influence design and guardrails, and produce high-quality reports that clearly articulate exploitation paths, missing security controls, and mitigation solutions.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, offensive security, or vulnerability research, including leading complex engagements in production or production-like environments.
• Strong understanding of application security vulnerabilities, identity and access control failures, cloud security, and security risks specific to AI and LLM-based systems.
• Proven ability to perform manual exploitation and vulnerability chaining, develop custom scripts and proof-of-concept exploits, and work effectively with and beyond automated tooling.
• Clear communication skills with the ability to articulate exploitation mechanics, business risk, and practical, prioritized remediation strategies to engineers, security teams, and leadership.

• Offensive security certifications such as OSCP, OSEP, or equivalent.
• Experience contributing to internal tooling, automation, or testing frameworks that improve scale or consistency without replacing deep manual testing.
• Familiarity with detection and response concepts and how penetration testing findings intersect with monitoring and alerting.

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. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications - without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. 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.
