About the Team

The Enterprise Security Technology team builds and operates highly scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed systems to deliver cloud-scale security infrastructure & software across multiple public cloud platforms and Salesforce's internal infrastructure. One of our key investments is in the area of Endpoint Security focusing on building a first class security defense system for Salesforce's Enterprise workloads.

About the Position

We are seeking an Endpoint Security Engineer (MTS) to help implement, automate, operate, and continuously improve endpoint security capabilities across the enterprise. In this role, you will work hands-on with endpoint security tools and services to help ensure Salesforce endpoints are protected against threats impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of enterprise systems. You will contribute to delivering a consistent, risk-based, and standards-aligned endpoint security posture, supporting endpoints across macOS, Windows, Linux, and mobile platforms. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on execution, reliability, and scale. You will collaborate closely with senior engineers, product managers, and partner teams to deploy and operate endpoint security solutions, automate workflows, and improve detection and response capabilities as the environment evolves. You'll be a part of a broader team with deployment, automation and operational responsibilities across the full spectrum of endpoint security, including endpoint hardening, malware and virus detection, application blocklisting, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), vulnerability scanning and cloud security posture management (CSPM). Your expertise will be instrumental in developing other services that leverage offerings from leading security vendors.

Responsibilities

• Develop and support endpoint security tools across the enterprise environments, including:

• Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

  • Endpoint hardening and configuration enforcement
  • Malware and virus protection
  • Application control and blocklisting
  • Vulnerability scanning and posture management

• Assist in Deployments & Coverage, build automation as needed. Help ensure Enterprise-wide deployment of endpoint security tools, achieving high coverage by aligning tool capabilities to the enterprise device inventory (including rollout of agents across macOS, Windows, Linux, and mobile platforms).

• Maintain Governance & Compliance. Support the definition and enforcement of policies, SOPs, and operational protocols for endpoint security tools by developing automation and related utilities. Help ensure that endpoint hygiene meets or exceeds regulatory and compliance requirements.

• Contribute to Automation & Resilience. Assist in the design and actively participate in the implementation of robust automation pipelines—leveraging scripting (Python) —to reduce manual effort, enforce consistency, and support rapid incident response.

• Enhance Detection & Response Posture. Work closely with senior endpoint engineers contributing towards the detection logic & response workflows, collaborate with SIEM, SOAR, and telemetry teams to integrate and tune event ingestion, alerting, and remediation across multiple systems.

• Support CSOC in threat modeling, participate in vendor evaluation, and platform enhancements; assist in proof-of-concepts (Po Cs) for new technologies that align with evolving security and business needs. Collaborate with security and engineering teams to integrate Endpoint services and ensure security policies are effectively enforced at scale.

• Develop and maintain scripts (Python) and automation to:

• Reduce manual operational effort

  • Improve consistency of endpoint configurations
  • Support faster remediation and response workflows

• Contribute to CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code and configuration-as code efforts related to endpoint security services.

• Participate in incident response activities by providing endpoint-level insights and remediation support.

• Partner with Product Management throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial design and vendor selection to implementation and ongoing operations, ensuring projects are delivered on time and with high quality.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for security services, policies, and procedures.

• Stay current with the latest threats and technologies in the cloud security and endpoint security landscape, actively seeking opportunities to innovate and improve our security posture.

About You

• You have a software development background
• Interested in building deep expertise in endpoint and cloud security
• Enjoy hands-on engineering work and learning how large-scale security platforms operate
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment
• Curious, detail-oriented, and eager to grow into more complex technical responsibilities over time
• Able to balance operational work with continuous improvement and automation

Required Skills/Experience

• 2–3 years of experience in a hands-on security engineering, systems engineering, or infrastructure role with exposure to endpoint security
• Experience developing automation used in a production environment at scale of more than a thousand endpoint systems
• Experience working with endpoint security tools such as EDR or vulnerability scanning solutions
• Familiarity with vendors such as Crowd Strike, Tenable, Tanium, Qualys, Palo Alto, or similar
• Understanding of endpoint operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux)
• Continuous hands-on experience with scripting or programming (Python, Go, or similar)
• Understanding of common security concepts, attack vectors, and endpoint threat models
• Familiarity with Agile development practices and the software development lifecycle
• Exposure to configuration management or infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)
• Experience with the formal change management process in the enterprise environment
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Some relevant security certifications
• Exposure to CSPM tools or cloud-native security services (AWS/Azure/GCP)
• Experience integrating endpoint tools with SIEM or SOAR platforms
