About the Role

Salesforce is seeking a Principal Member of Technical Staff (PMTS) / Staff Software Engineer to set the technical direction and architecture for Slack's autonomous agentic systems. This role involves leading cross-team initiatives to transform high-volume software engineering workflows into dependable, supervised, and continuously improving agentic pipelines at enterprise scale.

Responsibilities

  • Set Technical Strategy & Architecture: Architect Slack’s agentic operations platform, defining the standards for building, registering, and operating autonomous agents and software factories safely at scale.
  • Build End-to-End Autonomous Pipelines: Design autonomous pipelines (code generation, bug fixing, incident remediation) equipped with orchestration, tool integrations, and human-in-the-loop controls needed to run unattended but accountably.
  • Establish Production AI Rigor: Build evaluation suites, regression harnesses, guardrails, and observability frameworks that make non-deterministic agentic systems measurable, debuggable, and safe.
  • Define Ownership & Accountability Models: Establish how failures in autonomous systems are detected, attributed, and remediated, including on-call policies and operational guardrails.
  • Drive Cross-Functional Adoption: Partner with platform teams (Speck, Incident Management, Deploy Safety) and consuming engineering groups to integrate agentic workflows into daily developer routines.
  • Cost & Compute Governance: Advocate for cost-conscious, efficient model and compute utilization, balancing model intelligence and latency against token budgets and compute spend.
  • Raise the Engineering Bar: Mentor senior engineers, drive deep architectural reviews, and author clear system designs that establish reusable technical patterns across the organization.

Requirements

  • 10+ Years of Software Engineering Experience: Proven track record designing and delivering complex distributed systems at scale, with Staff/Principal-level technical judgment and organizational influence.
  • Production Agentic Systems Experience: Hands-on experience building and shipping LLM-powered agents and multi-agent systems, including orchestration, structured tool/function calling, retrieval (RAG), and context window engineering.
  • Production AI Rigor & Evals: Concrete experience making non-deterministic AI systems production-ready through deterministic evaluation suites, regression harnesses, guardrails, and LLM telemetry.
  • Strong Distributed Systems & Backend Foundations: High engineering rigor in writing clean, scalable, maintainable code. Experience operating backend and distributed systems with direct accountability for uptime, latency, and reliability.
  • Systems-Level Automation Mindset: Pragmatic approach to developer platforms and automation, comfortable operating with ambiguity and balancing rapid AI capability against production safety.
  • Experience building autonomous code-generation pipelines, automated refactoring systems, or “software factories” that open PRs and land changes across monolithic or multi-repo architectures.
  • Experience designing agent evaluation frameworks, prompt/context management layers, or LLM observability platforms used by other engineering teams.
