**** About Salesforce
**** Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Salesforce has one of the best Information Security teams in the world and growing this piece of the business is a top priority! Trust and security are Salesforce’s number one value as a company.  We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Member of Technical Staff (LMTS) to join our team and serve as the technical owner of the Security Information and Event Management platform.

This role is pivotal in establishing the SIEM as the "secure, reliable, and efficient cornerstone" of our security operations. You will be responsible for fundamentally transforming our ability to rapidly detect, prioritize, and automate responses to high-fidelity security incidents by addressing current pain points such as fragmented operations, pervasive data quality issues, and high Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) metrics.

The ideal candidate will have extensive hands-on experience in managing and operating large-scale enterprise security platforms, with a strong focus on data ingestion, system reliability, and automation. This is a strategic role that requires a blend of deep technical expertise, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to drive change in a complex environment. A strong desire and demonstrated ability to apply transferable engineering skillsets to assist the broader team with other development needs as they arise.

This includes the flexibility to step up and provide support in other engineering areas, helping to resolve roadblocks and contribute to the overall technical success of the organization
