The Global Network Operations team keeps Salesforce's production network running reliably, 24x7, across every region in the world.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of deep technical work and real customer outcomes.
Own incident management across the production network, performing break/fix and proactive maintenance to resolve outages and reduce future risk
Diagnose and resolve complex network issues — performing root cause analysis on all customer-impacting events and implementing lasting solutions
Isolate hardware and software faults on network devices and collaborate with vendors to drive resolution
Perform proactive network maintenance including code upgrades, hardware refreshes, config updates, peering/transit turn-ups, and decommissions
Provide third-line support for network-related customer issues, bringing technical depth and clear communication to high-stakes situations
Drive service ownership within the Network Cloud — improving alerting, incident handling, change management processes, and automation
Work closely with engineering teams to identify and implement improvements that increase network stability and reduce outage potential
Required Qualifications
High level of proficiency with TCP/IP networking, architecture, and core technologies including MPLS, BGP, OSPF, DNS, and HTTP
Hands-on experience with Cisco and Juniper router and switch hardware installation and fault diagnosis
Experience deploying and managing large-scale distributed network environments
Knowledge of firewall and access-list configuration and troubleshooting
In-depth experience working in Unix/Linux environments
Strong background in performance analysis, systems software, and systems architecture
Data-driven approach to system performance — comfortable with empirical monitoring and using metrics to guide decisions
Strong analytical problem-solving skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities simultaneously
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a collaborative, team-oriented working style
Ability to participate in an on-call rotation providing weekend network engineering support
Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.)
Preferred Qualifications
Proficiency configuring and troubleshooting load balancers, with emphasis on F5
Strong skills in packet analysis and network analysis tooling
Experience deploying, customising, and scaling network monitoring solutions
Proficiency in scripting or programming — Python, Perl, or similar

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?

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.
