My company salesforce.com has an opening at its new Tampa Bay office. The opening is on my team building Productivity Tools for the R&D organization. A suitable candidate should have a strong Java background (can pass a difficult Java programming test) AND have a love for UX and rich front end development (JQuery, HTML 5, VisualForce)
Why work for salesforce.com?
