    Great question! The position is located at our One Market office. The views of the bay, bay bridge and treasure island are awesome! Plus right across from the ferry building, it doesn't get much better.

    Interesting sounding job, Mark. I'm a huge fan of SFDC.

    Will this position be based at One Market or 50 Fremont (the new Salesforce office I read you signed a lease for)?
