• The AI Solutions team in Technology & Product builds internal products and platforms that help Salesforce engineers adopt AI-assisted development safely, effectively, and measurably
• Our work spans developer experiences, AI usage and outcome intelligence, governance, telemetry, and integrations with coding tools and engineering systems
• As a Lead Member of Technical Staff, you will design, build, and own full-stack product and platform capabilities across desktop applications, backend services, data pipelines, dashboards, and developer-facing integrations
• You will help turn fast-moving AI developer productivity ideas into reliable software that thousands of Salesforce engineers can use every day
• 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
