• Lead the design and development of cutting-edge AI system functionality.

Ownership and leadership:
• Design new architecture to solve complex scalability problems.
• Build comprehensive functional and system-level tests for your area.
• Take features end-to-end and drive the design and architecture decisions that shape them.

Strong collaboration skills:
• A proactive team player who engages across teams to drive solutions and improvements.
• Investigates issues through debugging and root cause analysis to diagnose defects.
• Takes an active role in the release and deployment process.

Even Better If:

• Strong oral and written communication skills, with proven cross-team collaboration experience.
• Comfortable juggling multiple projects, hitting deadlines, and rolling with shifting priorities.
• A team-first mentality - you celebrate the win as much as the assist.
• The ability to turn strategic goals into concrete technical plans and architecture.
• Experience with the Salesforce platform (Apex, LWC, Data Cloud), or the hustle to learn it fast.
• Hands-on experience with Salesforce Agentforce or Agent Builder.
• Skilled at critically evaluating code, human- or AI-generated  for correctness, quality, security, and performance through rigorous review.
