Event Monitoring & Detection

• Real-Time Monitoring: Build Transaction Security Policies (using Apex or Low-Code) to block data exfiltration attempts in real-time.
• Log Analysis: Configure Event Monitoring to export logs to our SIEM (Splunk/New Relic). Create dashboards to visualize login anomalies and report exports.

Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

• Code Security: Act as the "Security Gatekeeper" for deployments. Review Apex and LWC code for common vulnerabilities (SOQL Injection, XSS, Enforcing Sharing).
• DevOps Integration: Configure static code analysis tools (e.g., PMD, Checkmarx, Clayton) within our CI/CD pipeline (Copado/Gearset/Jenkins) to auto-reject insecure code.

Connected App & OAuth Governance (Critical Focus)

• OAuth Flow Architecture: Select and implement the correct OAuth flows for specific use cases (e.g., JWT Bearer Flow for server-to-server integration vs. Web Server Flow for user-facing apps vs. Device Flow for IoT).
• Scope Management: Enforce the principle of Least Privilege by meticulously defining and auditing OAuth Scopes (e.g., ensuring an integration only has api access and not full access).
• Session Policies: Configure granular session policies per Connected App, enforcing High Assurance sessions (MFA) for sensitive apps and defining strict timeout values.
• Client Secret Management: Manage the lifecycle of Consumer Keys and Secrets, including rotation strategies and ensuring secrets are never hardcoded in external systems.
• IP Relaxation: configure "Enforce IP Restrictions" vs. "Relax IP Restrictions" settings on a per-app basis to balance security with accessibility.
• Security Center & Multi-Org Governance
• Centralized Policy Management: Implement and manage Salesforce Security Center to define and push baseline security policies (e.g., Password Policies, Session Settings, Trusted IP Ranges) from a central tenant to all child orgs.
• Drift Detection: Configure Security Center to monitor for Configuration Drift. Create alerts that trigger immediately if a local admin in a child org attempts to weaken security settings (e.g., disabling MFA or relaxing IP restrictions).
• Health Visibility: Maintain a single-pane-of-glass view of security health scores across the entire multi-org landscape, reporting on KPI improvements to leadership.

Technical Advisory

• Platform Limits: Advise the business on the performance impacts of security decisions (e.g., "How will encrypting this field impact SOQL query performance?").
• Release Readiness: Review the Salesforce Release Notes (3x/year) specifically for security updates (e.g., MFA enforcement, Browser policy changes) and proactively prepare the org.

Qualifications

• Required Salesforce Expertise (The "Must Haves"):
• 10+ Years of hands-on experience in the Salesforce ecosystem as a Technical Architect, Developer, or Senior Administrator.
• Sharing & Visibility Master: You can explain "Implicit Sharing," "Group Maintenance Tables," and "Apex Managed Sharing" in your sleep.
• Apex & Metadata Fluency: You can read Apex triggers and understand how to query the LoginHistory or SetupAuditTrail objects via SOQL.
• Implementation Experience: Proven track record of actually turning on and configuring Platform Encryption, Event Monitoring, or multi-factor authentication in a large, complex org.
• Security Fundamentals:
• Understanding of basic security concepts: Least Privilege, Separation of Duties, Encryption (At Rest vs. In Transit), and CIA Triad.
• Familiarity with common web vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10) specifically in the context of Salesforce (e.g., "How to prevent XSS in Visualforce/LWC").

Certifications:

• Required: Salesforce Certified System Architect (or progress towards it).
• Required: Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect.
• Required: Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Architect.
• Bonus: Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA).

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? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. 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.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits.
