Job Category Product Job Details 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. 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. The Experience Salesforce's Platform Security team protects the foundation that our customers, partners, and developers build on. We are hands-on security engineers who work closely with Product and Engineering throughout the software development lifecycle. As a Product Security Lead, you will be the technical security lead for the user-facing application and experience layers of the platform. This includes front-end frameworks, runtimes, and rendering surfaces, plus fast-growing AI agent experiences and web data-access surfaces that appear in our own products, third-party channels, and external agentic clients. You will set the security bar for these areas by shaping how controls are designed and making secure patterns the default. With Agentforce woven into our platform, you will help define the trust model for the next generation of agent-driven experiences. This role is based in San Francisco, CA, or Seattle/Bellevue, WA, and is eligible for a hybrid work arrangement. What You'll Actually Be Doing • Lead security assurance for the experience and user interface (UI) layer. Run threat modeling, security design reviews, and code review (JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java) across web frameworks, runtimes, rendering pipelines, and the data-access Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) beneath them. Design platform-level fixes for recurring weaknesses such as cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), server-side request forgery (SSRF), injection, and broken access control. • Serve as the standing security lead for multi-release programs that span quarters and teams. Examples include expanding guest-user data access, rendering first-party experiences into third-party surfaces, and defining the trust model for agent-facing products. • Reduce AI and agentic risk. Address threats such as prompt injection, excessive agency, tool abuse, and memory poisoning. Design human approval steps for high-impact actions. Define least-privilege tool scoping, audit logging, and short-lived scoped credentials for Model Context Protocol (MCP) and connector integrations. • Set the standard and mentor others. Build secure patterns into frameworks, software development kits (SDKs), and rendering pipelines so unsafe code is hard to write. Author security guidelines that other teams adopt, and coach experienced developers on secure design. You're Our Person If... • You have 8+ years in product, application, or platform security, and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. • You have deep expertise in web and application security, including the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) injection classes, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, broken access control, and the browser security model. • You have hands-on experience securing modern UI frameworks, web runtimes, and rendering pipelines, including guest-user or unauthenticated surfaces. • You have experience s
