[Hiring] Lead Solution Engineer - Data & Integration Specialist - Department of War @Salesforce

Role Description

Salesforce is hiring a Data & Integration Specialist (DIS) to join our Global Public Sector Solution Engineering team, specifically supporting the Department of Defense (DoD). The AI revolution is a Data evolution and this critical role is at the forefront of making AI a reality for our defense customers. As a DIS, you are more than a technical expert; you are a strategic architectural partner who consolidates expertise across:

• MuleSoft (Integration)
• Tableau (Analytics)
• Data 360 (Unified Data Management)

You will serve as the single point of contact for sales teams, ensuring every data opportunity is handled by a specialist who thinks like an architect and communicates outcomes and impacts in the voice of the business user. You will be a vital contributor to the success of our agency customers by:

• Conducting holistic discovery
• Reframing the "data journey"
• Designing compliant, AI-ready architectures that deliver actionable insights from disparate silos

• Multi-Platform Technical Depth: Hands-on experience or deep conceptual knowledge of Integration (MuleSoft), Data Analytics (Tableau), and Big Data/CDP (Data Cloud). A qualified candidate will have expertise in no less than 2 of these capabilities; a great candidate will have expertise in all three.
• Strategic Communication: Excellent ability to reframe technical challenges into business value for C-level government executives and technical stakeholders alike.
• AI Readiness: Understanding of the value of "Trusted Context Foundations" for AI, including data grounding, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and metadata intelligence.
• Collaboration & Influence: Proven ability to partner early with Account Executives to drive sales strategy and lead "Data Discovery" from day one.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in Solution Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, or Digital Transformation.
• Technical Foundations: Degree in CS/IT or equivalent; experience with Java, APIs, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) is preferred.
