Salesforce is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to design, build, and deploy agentic AI solutions directly in enterprise customer environments, particularly in public sector, nonprofit, and higher education. You'll work as part of a delivery team alongside a Deployment Strategist, co-building production solutions from day one. Engagements range from single strategic customers to multiple accounts simultaneously, with real code, real environments, and measurable business impact.
Key responsibilities include developing AI agents and experiences that take real actions for organizations, designing agent intelligence (prompts, reasoning, tool calls, system integrations), owning technical components end-to-end from architecture to production deployment, building and integrating data pipelines on Salesforce Data 360, Snowflake, and Databricks, and building agent performance dashboards and KPI reporting. You'll contribute to proofs-of-concept and MVPs that move from concept to deployment in days, co-build alongside customers and partners, and surface platform gaps and field insights to senior engineers and product teams.
Required qualifications: Computer Science degree or related field, 3+ years of software engineering or technical delivery experience with at least one production system, prior customer-facing technical delivery experience (consulting, professional services, or forward deployed engineering), proven experience managing and delivering projects within public sector, higher education, or nonprofit environments, fluency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Apex, hands-on experience with LLMs and prompt engineering, strong understanding of data modeling, APIs, and integration patterns, ability to communicate effectively with sales teams and customer architects, and commitment to shipping quality code with engineering rigor.
You'll have access to best-in-class AI tools including Cursor, Claude, and Salesforce coding products embedded into your workflow. The role includes structured mentorship from senior engineers who've shipped agentic systems at scale, frontier access to evolving agentic AI platform capabilities, and a clear path to leading complex deliveries. Approximately 25% travel required for on-site customer work. Nice-to-haves include Salesforce certifications, familiarity with agent frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex, hands-on experience with cloud data platforms, and specialist AI delivery experience.
