Job Details

We're looking for a hybrid Design Engineer who shapes the visual direction of our blog and editorial content — then builds it into production-ready pages.

You'll evolve what Salesforce-brand storytelling looks like on the web: designing modern, editorial web experiences and bringing them to life using AI-assisted tools and lightweight front-end techniques. In doing so, you'll play a central role in transforming our blog into a more dynamic, high-value destination — and in changing how content is created and scaled across the team.

The ideal candidate has strong visual design skills and a builder's instinct. They're excited to use AI to accelerate their own workflow, experiment with new ways of working, and build self-service tools that empower content creators to do more.

Key Responsibilities

Design

  • Lead the visual direction for our blog and editorial content — establishing the look, feel, and editorial intent behind feature stories, series, guides, and playbooks

  • Create original illustrations and visual concepts that differentiate Salesforce editorial & web content and bring complex ideas to life

  • Design with purpose: typography, hierarchy, interactivity, pacing, and whitespace that builds credibility and keeps readers in long-form content

  • Read and interpret long-form editorial content to identify the visual narrative, key concepts, and moments that deserve visual emphasis

  • Art direct photography, illustration styles, and image treatments that set the tone for each piece and keep readers engaged through long-form content

  • Develop new content formats – scrollytelling, data visualization, interactive narratives – that push the blog toward a premium editorial destination

  • Leverage AI tools to generate and iterate on design concepts, create variations of layouts and components, and reduce manual work in repetitive tasks

  • Keep the editorial experience coherent with the broader Salesforce brand and web presence – newsroom, campaigns, product pages, etc. 

  • Translate abstract or technical concepts (like the Agentic Enterprise) into clear, engaging visual narratives that earn trust with skeptical audiences

Build

  • Bring designs to life using AI-assisted tools and lightweight front-end techniques, reducing dependency on engineering for editorial pages

  • Rapidly prototype and A/B test ideas using design-to-code workflows (Figma Make, Builder.io, Claude Code)

  • Ship production-ready editorial pages directly from design, closing the gap between concept and live content

  • Pull in back-end engineering when scope exceeds the AI-assisted limits


Scale

  • Create and maintain a living design system of editorial templates and reusable components

  • Design self-service tools that let content teams build high-quality, on-brand designs without needing design support on every request

  • Serve as the visual steward of the blog and editorial experience, ensuring quality, consistency, and brand alignment across every piece of content regardless of who creates it

  • Explore AI-assisted approaches that auto-generate layouts and apply design patterns at scale

  • Contribute to evolving ways of working that make design-to-code builds faster and more iterative

  • Identify opportunities where AI can scale design output and speed without sacrificing quality – as well as opportunities where it misses the mark

  • Partner with content operations to simplify and embed design tools in the flow of work

Qualifications
  • 7 years of experience in digital, web, or product design, with a focus on content or editorial experiences

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating work with landing pages, editorial design, and content-rich experiences

  • Familiarity with or interest in:

    • AI-assisted design tools

    • Prototyping or interactive design workflows

    • Exploring design-to-code or lightweight front-end approaches

Formal front-end development experience is not required, but curiosity and willingness to experiment in this space is important.

  • Proficiency in tools such as:

    • Figma, Figma Make

    • Adobe Creative Suite

    • Builder.io

    • Claude Code

  • Ability to translate complex ideas into clear visual storytelling

  • Strong collaboration skills across content, marketing, and engineering teams
