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.

This Specialist Solution Engineer role sits within our Emerging Business Unit, focusing on products in a similar growth lifecycle phase. The EBOU’s mission is to incubate, scale, and grow these solutions with a startup mindset. You'll operate as a subject matter expert, articulating the value of our solutions and their seamless integration within the broader Salesforce portfolio. This is a dynamic role where your ability to think outside the box, challenge the status quo, and identify solutions that drive sales will be key to our team's success.

Product Overview

As a Specialist Solution Engineer supporting Agentforce IT Service, you will be instrumental in demonstrating and evangelizing in these areas:


Our IT Service Management (ITSM) solution revolutionizes how employees get help and how IT teams deliver it. Built on the world’s #1 Service Cloud platform, Agentforce IT Service replaces outdated “portal-to-ticket” systems with an agent-first, conversation-first, workflow-driven experience. You’ll be selling a solution that helps companies:

Deliver Conversational, Always-On Support:

Empower employees to get help in minutes, not hours, without leaving their workflow. Agentforce meets users where they work — in Slack — allowing them to request hardware, reset passwords, or report issues through natural conversation rather than complex forms.

Automate End-to-End Incident Management:

Accelerate resolutions with AI-driven triage, auto-creation of incidents, and intelligent routing to the right specialists. Reduce manual effort and improve agent productivity by letting Einstein handle repetitive tasks.

Unify IT and HR Service on One Platform:

Eliminate silos by bringing IT, HR, Facilities, and other service teams together within Salesforce. Deliver consistent, cross-departmental experiences with shared workflows, automation, and analytics.

Gain Full Visibility with a Native CMDB:

Leverage Salesforce’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB) to visualize asset relationships, dependencies, and health in real time. Identify root causes, track service impacts, and resolve issues before they cascade.

Boost Productivity and Reduce Costs:

Automate up to 80% of IT tasks end-to-end through workflow automation, AI assistance, and self-service. Free up IT talent to focus on innovation instead of routine ticket handling.

Enable the Agentic Enterprise:

Combine human expertise with AI assistance to create a self-healing, proactive

support environment where employees and digital agents collaborate to solve

problems faster than ever before.

Unleash Your Potential

When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best. Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world.
