About the role

SalesforceDB powers the Salesforce Platform with a fast, scalable transactional database. We seek a Senior/Lead Performance Engineer to drive performance across the distributed database stack, collaborating with database, storage, infrastructure, and analytics teams to ship improvements to the production fleet. You will profile engines, lead benchmarks, and own performance qualifications for releases, contributing to high-scale operations and continued innovation at Salesforce.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
