Product Security Lead

Description The Experience

Salesforce's Platform Security team protects the foundational platform our customers, partners, and developers build on, balancing deep security expertise with the agility our business depends on. We are hands-on security engineers who collaborate closely with Product and Engineering across the software development lifecycle, trusted for the technical depth we bring to keep the world's #1 CRM platform secure. This role serves as the technical security lead for the user-facing application and experience layers of the platform, including front-end frameworks, runtimes, and rendering surfaces that developers use to author and run experiences. It also covers fast-growing AI agent-driven experiences and web data-access surfaces that render across our own surfaces, third-party channels, and external agentic clients. You'll set the security assurance bar across these areas. You'll shape how controls are designed and drive secure-by-default patterns upstream. You'll serve as a trusted security voice to a top-tier Engineering organization delivering multi-release, cross-team programs, at a time when this layer's trust model is being redefined.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Lead security assurance for the experience and UI layer, driving threat modeling, security design reviews, and targeted code review (JavaScript/TypeScript, Java) across web and UI frameworks, runtimes, rendering pipelines, and the guest-user-exposed data-access APIs beneath them.
• Serve as the standing security lead for multi-quarter, multi-team programs such as the expansion of guest-user data access, first-party experiences rendering into surfaces we don't control, and the trust model for agent-facing products.
• Push secure patterns into frameworks, SDKs, and rendering pipelines so unsafe patterns are hard to introduce, and author security standards other teams adopt for web/UI security, guest-user data access, and rendering trust boundaries.
• Own AI and agentic risk, mitigating threats like prompt injection, excessive agency, and context/memory poisoning; design human-in-the-loop gates for high-risk actions; and define least-privilege scoping, audit logging, and short-lived credentials for agent and connector integrations, including for the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

You're Our Person If...

• You have deep expertise in web/application security and the security of modern UI frameworks, web runtimes, or data-access APIs, with hands-on experience finding and eliminating web weakness classes and securing guest-user or unauthenticated surfaces.
• You have threat-modeling experience across complex web, UI, or data-access environments, driven to resolution.
• You can reason about AI/large language model (LLM) or agentic risk — prompt injection, tool/agent abuse, or MCP/connector security — applied to real product work.
• You have a track record of authoring security standards and leading cross-team, multi-release security programs, with the ability to influence experienced developers, and can fluently review JavaScript/TypeScript plus at least one other modern language (Java, Python, or Go).

Even Better If...

• You've secured UI frameworks, web runtimes, GraphQL/data-access APIs, or rendering frameworks at scale, ideally for a large-scale multi-tenant SaaS.
• You've done hands-on work with LLM application security, agent frameworks, or MCP.
• You've owned a security program or served as the standing security lead for a product area.
• You have bug bounty or red-team experience.
