Software Development Apprenticeship - Systems Security

How to apply

Software Development Apprenticeship – Systems Security

Salesforce, the Customer Success Platform and the world’s #1 CRM, empowers companies to connect with their customers in a whole new way. The company was founded on three disruptive ideas: a new technology model in cloud computing, a pay-as-you-go business model, and a new integrated corporate philanthropy model.

These founding principles have taken our company to great heights, including being named one of Forbes’s “World’s Most Innovative Company” five years in a row and one of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” eight years in a row. We are the fastest growing of the top 10 enterprise software companies, and this level of growth equals incredible opportunities to grow a career at Salesforce.

Together, with our whole Ohana (Hawaiian for “family”) made up of our employees, customers, partners and communities, we are working to improve the state of the world.

Systems Security Team at Salesforce

Our Systems Security team is responsible for handling all Security Systems Infrastructure primarily in our on-premise Data Centers and protecting our company’s host infrastructure from internal/external threats through vulnerability remediation. This includes functions such as host provisioning, maintenance, Host Integrity/Uplift rollout (UEFI/Secure Boot, TPM), patching and de-provisioning. The team owns critical Host Access Management services that protect privileged access to Systems.

During this experience, you’ll be part of a wide apprentice community spanning across Dublin and London, and across a variety of business units and roles. You’ll also have access to a broader group of people that will support you throughout to develop both personally & professionally.

As an apprentice, year one will be primarily focused on understanding Salesforce and gaining the skills needed to do the job. Then you’ll progressively transition into the Systems Security team while continuing to attend college.

Below is a list of the first-year activities you’ll be part of:

● Implement and support CI/CD toolchains to support systems security programs.
