About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

About the Role

We’re building the product data platform that will power Salesforce’s next era of agentic intelligence — delivering smarter, adaptive, and self-optimizing product experiences.

As a Full-Stack Data Engineer, you’ll design and build scalable systems that process hundreds of thousands of context-rich product signals. These signals fuel analytics, customer-facing products, ML models, and autonomous agents.
You’ll work on:

• Near real-time and batch telemetry pipelines for trusted signal capture
• Semantic layers and data products for reusable insights
• Programmatic discovery via metadata, MCP, and knowledge graphs

This isn’t a typical data engineering role. We’re looking for creative, systems-minded engineers working outside of the “data engineer” box, fluent in both data and AI, and excited to navigate ambiguity, cross boundaries, and drive real impact.
 

What You’ll Do

• Build and scale fault tolerant batch and streaming data pipelines using Spark, Trino, Flink, Kafka, DBT
• Design programmatic consumption layers to make product signals easy to define, discover, and reuse
• Apply software engineering best practices to data systems: testing, CI/CD, observability
• Evolve systems to support not just human analysis, but autonomous agent reasoning
• Contribute to a trusted data foundation powering decisions, AI agents, and adaptive products
• Collaborate across orgs with telemetry engineers, product leaders, data scientists, and AI builders

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, with strong software engineering fundamentals
• Expertise with big data frameworks: Spark, Trino/Presto, DBT, Snowflake
• Experience with streaming systems like Flink and Kafka, incl. distribution strategy (topics & partitions)
• Solid understanding of semantic layers, data modeling, and metrics systems
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS (e.g., S3, EMR, ECS, IAM), Containerization
• Bonus: fluency in AI data engineering patterns and tools like MCP
• Bonus: experience with knowledge graphs and modern metadata systems
• Strong communicator and collaborator — comfortable working across teams and domains
• Curious, pragmatic, and impact-driven mindset

Why Join Us

Help shape how Salesforce leads the digital labor revolution. You’ll be at the heart of transforming raw product signals into intelligent decisions — for everyone from engineers to sales reps to AI agents. If you’re excited to design resilient, trusted, and intelligent systems at scale, we’d love to hear from you.

Unleash Your Potential

When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best. Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world.
