Ready to level up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place. Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

What's the opportunity?

Fin is transforming customer service through AI, helping businesses deliver fast, accurate, and reliable support at scale. Trust is foundational to that mission.

Fin's Security Engineering team is unlike most security teams. We own and operate critical security services, build customer-facing security features, and partner with engineering teams to make secure development the default. We're engineers first; designing, building, and operating systems that protect Fin and its customers. The team owns and operates tier-zero services including authentication, SAML/SSO, teammate activity logs, malicious URL scanning, and other critical trust and security capabilities.

The mission of the team is to help Fin build and operate trusted AI-powered customer service experiences by making security a natural part of how products are designed, developed, and delivered. As Fin continues to expand its capabilities and adoption, you'll help shape how security evolves alongside some of the most ambitious AI-powered products in customer service. We're taking an AI-first approach to security, exploring areas such as AI-powered detection, red-team automation, continuous monitoring, and emerging defensive capabilities to help meet an evolving threat landscape.

Policies

Fin has a hybrid working policy. We believe that working in person helps us stay connected, collaborate easier and create a great culture while still providing flexibility to work from home. We expect employees to be in the office at least three days per week.

We have a radically open and accepting culture at Fin. We avoid spending time on divisive subjects to foster a safe and cohesive work environment for everyone. As an organization, our policy is to not advocate on behalf of the company or our employees on any social or political topics out of our internal or external communications. We respect personal opinion and expression on these topics on personal social platforms on personal time, and do not challenge or confront anyone for their views on non-work related topics. Our goal is to focus on doing incredible work to achieve our goals and unite the company through our core values.

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.
