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.
The Experience
Every service on a global, multi-cloud platform rests on one foundation: trust. The systems that issue certificates, establish workload and AI agent identity, and protect cryptographic keys let millions of services prove their identity to one another.
As an Architect, you define the strategy and technical direction for this foundation as the industry moves to shorter certificate lifetimes, fully automated lifecycle management, and post-quantum cryptography.
This is a hands-on architecture role for a distributed-systems leader with strong security depth. You design for continuous global availability, guide the evolution of our cryptography without disrupting dependent services, and implement working systems across multiple engineering teams. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and key-management expertise are strong advantages, but deep distributed-systems and security judgment matter most.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
- Own the target architecture and multi-year strategy for certificate lifecycle, trust distribution, and cryptographic identity across workloads and AI agents, and lead execution through production.
- Architect highly available, globally scalable trust infrastructure with measurable Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and fleet-wide automated certificate renewal capabilities.
- Drive automation-first, cost-effective architecture focused on zero-touch lifecycle operations, zero-downtime migrations, and data-driven build-versus-buy decisions.
- Establish architectural and security standards for the interfaces between the trust platform and dependent infrastructure, and guide teams through complex design trade-offs.
