About the Role
Salesforce is hiring a hands-on Partner Technical Architect to help top SI partners build and ship production-grade Agentforce solutions at scale. In this builder role, you will work directly with Partner FDEs to turn ambiguous enterprise AI problems into working solutions, reference implementations, and evaluation harnesses. You will use what you learn to raise quality and partner-led outcomes.

The ideal candidate can build, debug, explain trade-offs, and package learnings so many partner teams benefit. While Salesforce and Agentforce experience are valuable, the primary focus is on strong engineering judgment, applied AI fluency, builder instincts, and the ability to ramp quickly into the Salesforce platform.

Key Responsibilities:
- Prototype quickly to validate ideas, expose platform gaps, and unblock first-of-kind implementation risks.
- Build reference implementations, starter kits, demos, field kits, and evaluation harnesses that partners can fork, extend, and deploy.
- Convert field lessons into durable reusable assets such as code, diagrams, checklists, decision trees, implementation notes, and architecture guidance.
- Review partner Agentforce architectures for agent design, retrieval strategy, tooling, guardrails, observability, cost, security, and production readiness.
- Coach Partner FDEs and architects through design clinics, office hours, portfolio reviews, and targeted technical walkthroughs.
- Translate recurring field blockers into clear product and engineering feedback.
- Help partners connect technical architecture choices to delivery quality, customer outcomes, and consumption economics.

Experience
- Proven experience shipping or seriously prototyping real software, agents, automations, internal tools, or technical demos.
- Demonstrable work such as GitHub repos, demo apps, notebooks, architecture docs, evaluation harnesses, demo orgs, or open-source contributions.
- Applied AI and agentic systems experience including building with LLMs, agents, RAG, tool use, workflow orchestration, or automation systems.
- Ability to reason about multi-agent, human-in-the-loop, and enterprise integration patterns.
- Practical understanding of prompt design, retrieval quality, evaluation, hallucination risk, guardrails, and cost/performance trade-offs.
- Strong enterprise architecture judgment with clear communication skills across engineers, architects, product teams, partner leaders, and executives.
- Systems thinking across APIs, data flows, identity, security, integration, observability, and operational handoff.
- Experience operating in regulated or complex enterprise environments where governance, trust, and delivery risk matter.

About You
- Builder mindset: you learn new platforms by building with them and move fast without losing production instincts around safety, reliability, observability, and maintainability.
- Ability to extract patterns from one-off work and turn them into reusable assets.
- Strong product sense to distinguish platform gaps, configuration issues, partner delivery issues, and patterns worth codifying.
- Comfortable coaching and collaborating with partner delivery teams and system integrators.
- Rapid learner with the ability to translate broader engineering and AI experience into partner-ready Agentforce patterns.

Qualifications
- Hands-on Salesforce, Agentforce, Data Cloud, Apex, Flow, LWC, MuleSoft, or multi-cloud architecture experience is preferred but not required.
- Salesforce certifications are helpful but not mandatory if strong builder evidence and rapid platform learning can be demonstrated.
- Experience publishing technical work such as open-source projects, internal platform documentation, talks, blog posts, or reusable architecture patterns is a plus.
- Familiarity with consumption economics, agent cost modeling, TCO, or outcome-based delivery models is advantageous.
- Experience creating maturity models, readiness checks, production-readiness scorecards, or technical review frameworks is beneficial.
