Description
Are you a Java expert, passionate about building technology that supports engineering development workflow stability, consistency, and innovation? Join the team that is actively working on Core on Bazel--our next generation, intelligent, metrics-driven, critical build framework that keeps the CRM Core application build running with agility, supporting the codebase growth and drive engineering to realize the Salesforce dream of $100B . You will help deliver game-changing technology for future proofing our build system towards, and meeting the tremendous scale requirements of a fast growing code base. We are looking for an exceptional Java developer, with experience in Ant, Maven, Bazel, Gradle, make, or other build systems and interested in solving build graph challenges at scale!
Core Developer Productivity is M3 on the TMP V2MOM with the goal to deliver transformational improvements to the Core Development Experience this year. The higher priority of this method demands a pool of talent to drive the transformational initiatives such as making the core app build successful on the Bazel framework.
As a Java developer on the Core Build Framework team, you will have a hand in defining the technology that runs Salesforce Core builds. Today, there are over 5,500 modules in the core build, containing over 450,000 java classes, and serving over 5,000 core developers! You will join a team of world-class, highly motivated software engineers to deliver a high-quality software architecture with the scalability and performance needed to match the staggering increase in the engineers who develop and/or contribute to the core codebase. You will need deep experience with Java and other programming languages, proficiency with solving real-world challenges in large data systems, a strong understanding of how to architect solutions that support scalability and parallelism, and help design, develop, and optimize the current monolith core code base.
