Job Category Software Engineering Job Details 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. We are looking for people who are passionate about making it safe to go fast. The Mobile Guardrails team owns the guardrails, delivery signals, and observability that ensure Slack's mobile apps ship with confidence — whether the code is written by a human or an AI agent. We make the development process itself better: the build systems, the test infrastructure, the architectural enforcement, and the metrics that tell us where to invest next. We're looking for an engineer with strong Android foundations who thinks beyond any single platform — someone who sees mobile infrastructure as a connected system and wants to define what quality means at scale. As a guardrails engineer, you think in systems, not features. You see a flaky test and think about quarantine infrastructure, not just a retry. You see a 400-file module and think about rebuild radii and dependency graphs, not just a refactor. You set a high bar for codebase health and take ownership beyond your immediate area — when something is slowing the team down, you fix the root cause, not just the symptom. You are energized by the intersection of developer tooling, AI-assisted development, and mobile platform engineering. You thrive in ambiguity, build for the long term, and measure what matters. What You Should Have 7 years of software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in Android development and significant time spent on infrastructure, tooling, or platform work in a large modular codebase. A systems thinker. You trace problems to their root cause, detect recurring patterns across teams and codebases, and when you find a gap where infrastructure should exist, you build the system and make sure the team can rely on it. A track record of bringing people along. You raise the bar through education, pairing, and influence, not just your own code. Hands-on experience with performance tooling and observability, including profiling, build analysis, metrics dashboards, and using data to decide where to invest. Proficiency with AI-assisted development. This is a requirement, not a nice-to-have. You use AI coding tools in your workflow and have opinions on making them effective at
