About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Role Description

AI Labs is building an emerging product that changes how Salesforce itself gets built. It reads the environment a customer already has, tells them what to fix first, makes the change, proves the change is safe, and helps them build what is next. A product like this only matters if the people in the field can actually wield it. That is this role.

As Chief Builder and Distinguished Solution Engineer, you are the most technically credible person in the room and you use that credibility to get every technical role in our field ready to build: Solution Engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, Professional Services, Customer Success, and our partner ecosystem. You own internal technical enablement and the programs behind it. You set the standard for what good looks like, and then you make thousands of people capable of reaching it.

Responsibilities

• Own internal technical enablement. Design and run the enablement that makes SE, FDE, Professional Services, Success, and Partner technologists genuinely capable with the product. Not slideware. Hands on keyboard, measured by what they can build afterward.
• Own the programming. Build the curriculum, certification path, office hours, build labs, and champions network that carry the capability across every region and every team.
• Set the technical standard. Define what a good build looks like: tested, governed, reversible, explainable. Publish the reference patterns everyone else works from.
• Build the reference library. Turn the best real work in the field into reusable references that any technologist can pick up and run with.
• Be the proof in the room. Lead the hardest technical engagements and the most senior customer conversations. A CIO should be able to ask you why a change is safe and get a real answer.
• Close the loop with Product. Bring back what the field actually hits: the gaps, the sharp edges, and the patterns worth building into the product.
• Scale through others. Grow a network of technical leaders across the field who can run this without you in the room.

Required Experiences & Skills

• Experience. 10+ years in solution engineering, technical architecture, forward deployed engineering, or professional services, including time at the most senior technical level in a field organization.
• Platform mastery. Deep working knowledge of the Salesforce platform and its metadata: Apex, Flow, Lightning Web Components, the Metadata API, packaging, and release management. You know where the sharp edges are because you have been cut.
• AI native building. You build with AI coding agents in your daily work and you have a clear view of where they are strong and where they need a human.
• Enablement at scale. You have taken a capability from a handful of experts to thousands of practitioners, and you can show what changed in their output.
• Field credibility. SEs, architects, and services leads take your call. You have earned that by building, not by presenting.
• Communication. You can explain the same technical decision to an engineer, an executive, and a customer, and all three leave with the right understanding.
• Travel. Willingness to travel as needed.
• Preferred. Salesforce certifications at the architect level. Experience building or running a technical community or champions program. Experience across Marketing Cloud, Revenue Cloud, or Data 360.
• Education. Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
