About the Role

Salesforce is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to design, build, and deploy agentic AI solutions directly inside enterprise customer environments. You will work as part of a delivery team, partnering closely with a Deployment Strategist to co-build solutions that go live in production environments from day one. Engagements range from a single large strategic customer to multiple accounts simultaneously, focusing on real code, real environments, and measurable business impact. This work spans configuration, customization, and full-stack deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Develop AI agents and experiences that take real actions for real organizations.
  • Design agent intelligence: prompts, reasoning, tool calls, and integration with customer systems, leveraging our Agentic AI platform and current LLM techniques.
  • Own technical components end-to-end: from architecture choice to deployed, validated, and observable in production.
  • Build and integrate data pipelines on Salesforce Data 360, Snowflake, Databricks, and customer data platforms.
  • Model the data, ship the pipeline, validate the output.
  • Build and maintain agent performance dashboards and customer KPI reporting to track deployment health and business outcomes.
  • Contribute to proofs-of-concept and MVPs that move from sketch to deployable in days, not months.
  • Co-build alongside customers and partners, sharing best practices and enablement.
  • Surface platform gaps, edge cases, and field insights to senior Engineers and the product team.
  • Partner with the Deployment Strategist in your pod to translate customer business challenges into agentic solutions that actually ship.

Requirements

  • 3+ years (6-10 years for Senior levels) of software engineering or technical delivery experience, with at least one production system you'd be proud to walk us through - ideally in an AI tech stack, full-stack development, or working with frontier models.
  • Prior customer-facing technical delivery experience (consulting, professional services, or forward deployed engineering) is a requirement.
  • You can hold your own in a room with sales teams and customer architects.
  • You ship quality code and evaluate AI outputs with engineering rigor.
  • You actively tinker with the evolving AI/data landscape — piloting new tools, experimenting with new models, and staying genuinely curious about what's coming next.
  • You thrive in the group chat that's building something, not just talking about it.
  • You're excited to travel ~25% of the time, working directly alongside customers.
