Job Details

About the Role

You are the builder. Production delivery is your job. The pod exists to go fast and go deep.
Salesforce is hiring Solution Builders - senior individual contributors who are the technical engine of a 2-person delivery pod. You partner with a Director who owns strategy and customer relationships; you own the build. You design and deploy production-grade agentic AI systems directly at customer sites, working hands-on every day. No overhead, no managing other builders - just you, your pod partner, and the work in front of you.
This is a hands-on IC delivery role. Your output is working software in production at the customer.
What You'll Do
Build & Deploy (Primary Focus)
  • Architect, build, and deploy production-grade Agentforce and agentic AI solutions end-to-end - this is your core job
  • Design and implement AI agents, multi-agent orchestration, agentic workflows, and the integration patterns that hold up in enterprise environments
  • Own data pipelines, system integrations, and production AI infrastructure across Salesforce, Snowflake, Databricks, and customer platforms
  • Build rapidly from ambiguous requirements - prototype to validate, then engineer to last
  • Resolve complex technical blockers: data integration failures, orchestration breakdowns, model deployment issues
  • Drive solutions from first commit through production handoff and active customer consumption
Pod Partnership with Director
  • Operate as the technical execution half of a 2-person pod - the Director shapes what gets built and why; you own how it gets built and make sure it ships
  • Translate strategy and customer context from the Director into concrete technical decisions and daily delivery progress
  • Communicate blockers, risks, and architecture tradeoffs clearly and early so the pod stays in sync
  • Represent technical depth in customer-facing sessions - architecture reviews, demos, working sessions, production readouts
  • Flag patterns, gaps, and opportunities you see in the field back to the Director and to Agentforce product teams
Customer Engagement
  • Embed directly with customer engineering and data teams - not remotely, not occasionally, but as a consistent presence
  • Build trust with customer technical counterparts through delivery quality and technical credibility, not just relationship management
  • Guide customer teams through the technical decisions required to operationalize AI at scale
  • Surface expansion signals and customer feedback to the Director
  • Contribute reusable patterns, reference implementations, and field insights back to the broader Builder org
Craft & Continuous Growth
  • Stay sharp on Agentforce platform evolution, agentic delivery patterns, LLM advances, and the competitive AI landscape
  • Codify what you learn - reusable components, playbooks, and lessons from the field that raise the bar for the whole org
  • Bring a growth mindset to hard problems: when something breaks or doesn't work, you dig in rather than escalate
What You Bring
Required
  • 4-8+ years of software engineering, AI delivery, or technical consulting, with hands-on ownership of production systems (Builder: 4-6 years; Senior Builder: 6-8+ years)
  • Proven track record building and shipping production software - not prototypes, not demos, but systems that run in the real world
  • Hands-on LLM integration experience: agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalent), prompt engineering, and responsible AI practices in production
  • Fluency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Apex - and the range to add to that list as the work demands
  • Deep experience in data modeling, APIs, and integration patterns - able to design them, not just consume them
  • Ability to work autonomously in ambiguous, fast-moving customer environments with real delivery accountability
  • Strong enough communication skills to engage technical stakeholders and explain architecture decisions clearly
  • Ability to operate effectively as the sole builder in a small, high-trust pod
  • Willingness to travel ~25% of the time, working directly at customer sites
Preferred
  • Salesforce platform expertise: Agentforce, Apex, LWC, Data Cloud, Salesforce APIs
  • Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer I/II, Agentforce Specialist, System Architect)
  • Experience with cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery)
  • Prior experience in forward-deployed engineering, consulting, or professional services
  • Familiarity with DevOps/CI-CD, observability tooling, or data governance frameworks
