About the Role
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM where ambition meets action, tech meets trust, and innovation is a way of life. We are seeking Forward Deployed Engineers — experienced Technical Builders who design, build, and deploy agentic AI solutions directly inside enterprise customer environments. You will work closely with a Deployment Strategist to co-build solutions that go live in production from day one. Engagements range from single large strategic customers to multiple accounts simultaneously, involving real code, real environments, and measurable business impact.

Your work will span configuration, customization, and full-stack deployment, shipping solutions customers depend on. You will develop AI agents and experiences that take real actions for real organizations, designing agent intelligence including prompts, reasoning, tool calls, and integration with customer systems leveraging our Agentic AI platform and current LLM techniques.

You will own technical components end-to-end, build and integrate data pipelines on Salesforce Data 360, Snowflake, Databricks, and other platforms, and maintain agent performance dashboards and KPI reporting to track deployment health and business outcomes. You will contribute to proofs-of-concept and MVPs, co-build alongside customers and partners, and surface platform gaps and field insights to senior engineers and product teams.

At Salesforce, you will work with cutting-edge AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and Salesforce coding products embedded into your workflow. You will receive structured mentorship and have a clear path to leading complex deliveries. Our agentic AI platform is evolving rapidly, and your field insights will directly influence product development. You will be expected to stay at the forefront of AI innovation by experimenting with emerging tools, models, and frameworks.

Join us to shape the future of AI and redefine what’s possible for yourself, for AI, and for the world.

Requirements

Experience
Minimum 3 years of software engineering or technical delivery experience with at least one production system you can confidently present, ideally involving AI tech stacks, full-stack development, or frontier models. Prior customer-facing technical delivery experience (consulting, professional services, or forward deployed engineering) is required.

Fluency in at least one of Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Apex, with willingness to learn additional languages as needed. Hands-on experience with LLMs and prompt engineering, including the ability to analyze and improve prompts.

Strong understanding of data modeling, APIs, and integration patterns. Ability to communicate effectively with sales teams and customer architects. Proven ability to ship quality code and evaluate AI outputs with engineering rigor. Active engagement with the evolving AI/data landscape through piloting new tools and experimenting with models.

Willingness to travel approximately 25% of the time to work directly with customers.

About You
You thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and enjoy building solutions rather than just discussing them. You are curious, innovative, and passionate about AI and technology. You have excellent communication skills and can translate complex technical challenges into actionable solutions. You are motivated by delivering measurable business impact and continuous learning.

Qualifications
Salesforce platform experience or certifications (Administrator, Platform Developer I, Agentforce Specialist) are a plus. Familiarity with agent frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex and orchestration patterns is advantageous. Experience with cloud data platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery is beneficial. Specialist AI delivery experience in data engineering, platform architecture, or headless deployments is desirable but not mandatory.
