The Experience

The team develops and manages the Salesforce API Platform's runtime plane that applies API policies, handles requests, and enforces security. We're responsible for the execution of sophisticated routing rules to the appropriate upstream services.

The runtime plane is a dedicated extensible infrastructure layer facilitating service-to-service and customer-to-service communication via proxies managed by the control plane such that policies can be applied at these proxies. The runtime plane is built using Envoy and Istio. It is extensible and features are built into these proxies or are integrations at these proxies with no change to actual services.

• Proficiency with Golang, Java and/or C++ in a Linux/UNIX data center environment.

• Participation in the team's on-call rotation to address complex problems in real-time and keep services operational and highly available.
• Experience in using telemetry and metrics to drive operational excellence.
