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 looking for a Senior Member of Technical Staff (SMTS) to own the end-to-end data science and software systems that power predictive and agentic intelligence for Sales Cloud. You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real-world sales outcomes — building models that help sellers close deals faster, understand pipeline risk, and take action with confidence.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role. You'll independently design, train, and operationalize models in Model Builder, stand up rigorous evaluations for agentic workflows, and deliver explainable signals — from opportunity scoring to deal-risk insights — that sellers genuinely act on. You'll be the recognized SME in your domain, influencing product roadmaps and coaching junior engineers along the way.

We sit at the frontier of intelligent, data-driven selling and are shaping what that looks like for the next generation of Salesforce products.
What You'll Do
Design, train, and deploy production ML models for core Sales Cloud use cases: opportunity scoring, deal-risk detection, and seller-facing explainable insights
Build and operationalize agentic workflows on Agentforce, including LLM-as-judge evaluation frameworks and agentic evaluation metrics
Partner closely with Product Management to help shape and drive the roadmap — bringing engineering perspective to prioritization and feasibility decisions
Explore and adopt new technologies: improved forecasting methods, RAG architectures, prompt tuning strategies, and emerging AI tooling
Mentor and coach junior engineers on the team
What We're Looking For
Essential:
Have 5-7 years of strong object-oriented programming skills in one or more of: Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, C#, Ruby (Python strongly preferred for ML work)
Solid experience with relational databases, SQL, PL/SQL, and schema design
Hands-on experience with both supervised and unsupervised machine learning
Experience building RAG applications and agentic workflows, including prompt tuning and optimization
Familiarity with LLM evaluation, LLM-as-a-judge patterns, and agentic evaluation metrics
Strong communication and collaboration skills — you can influence without authority and bring partners along
Nice to Have:
Experience with Agentforce, Data Cloud / Data 360, Model Builder, or Salesforce BDTs
Familiarity with the Salesforce core codebase
