What You'll Actually Be Doing
Lead the technical design and delivery of complex, cross-cutting capabilities across internal developer-productivity products, spanning desktop experiences, backend services, data and analytics platforms, governance workflows, and integrations with AI coding tools and engineering systems.
Build backend APIs, data models, ingestion flows, dashboards, and user experiences that connect AI tool usage to outcomes engineers and leaders can act on.
Set technical direction for a product or platform area, translating ambiguous requirements into design specifications, test strategies, and incremental delivery plans; partner with product and engineering stakeholders to shape medium-term priorities and validate feasibility.
Define and raise the operational bar across the systems you lead by establishing telemetry, SLIs and SLOs, controlled rollout strategies, playbooks, and long-term ownership practices; lead incident investigation and root-cause analysis when needed.
Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code.
Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.
Establish and curate the shared system context - designs, constraints, standards, operational knowledge, and decision records - that helps both engineers and AI agents operate accurately and reliably.
Raise the team's technical quality through design and code reviews, coaching, pairing, and clear definitions of done; delegate appropriately while remaining accountable for the overall technical outcome.
You're Our Person If...
6+ years of experience designing and building production software, including full-stack applications, backend services, developer tools, or internal platforms.
Strong programming skills and experience working across frontend, backend, APIs, data stores, and distributed system boundaries.
Experience taking ambiguous product or platform requirements from design through implementation, testing, rollout, and production ownership.
Ability to explain initiatives and designs clearly to engineers, product partners, and engineering leadership; make sound technical tradeoffs; influence stakeholders; and lead complex work across teams.
A demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to engineering — using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor) to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty.
Advanced prompt engineering skills and the ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready.
A related technical degree is required.
Even Better If...
Experience building developer tools, AI coding tool integrations, internal platforms, telemetry systems, or enterprise desktop applications.
Familiarity with React, TypeScript, Go, service APIs, event pipelines, analytics systems, or cloud and Kubernetes-based services.
Experience building self-service experiences, dashboards, plugin systems, command-line tools, or standard integration patterns for engineering teams.
Interest in AI developer productivity and helping engineering teams adopt AI tools in ways that are measurable, trustworthy, and scalable.

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 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.
