Role Description
You are the builder. Production delivery is your job. The pod exists to go fast and go deep.
Salesforce is hiring Solution Builders β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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.
Qualifications
-
4β8+ years of software engineering, AI delivery, or technical consulting, with hands-on ownership of production systems (Builder: 4β6 years; Senior Builder: 6β8+ years).
-
Proven track record building and shipping production software β 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 β and the range to add to that list as the work demands.
-
Deep experience in data modeling, APIs, and integration patterns β 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.
Benefits
-
Time off programs.
-
Medical, dental, vision, mental health support.
-
Paid parental leave.
-
Life and disability insurance.
-
401(k).
-
Employee stock purchasing program.
