Partner Technical Architect - Agentforce

Salesforce Salesforce · Enterprise · London, United Kingdom

Salesforce is seeking a Partner Technical Architect to help SI partners build and scale production-grade Agentforce solutions. This role involves prototyping, building reference implementations, reviewing partner architectures, and coaching partners on agent design, retrieval, tooling, guardrails, observability, cost, and security. The ideal candidate has strong engineering judgment, applied AI fluency, and experience with LLMs, agents, RAG, and enterprise architecture.

What you'd actually do

  1. Prototype quickly to validate ideas, expose platform gaps, and unblock first-of-kind implementation risks.
  2. Build reference implementations, starter kits, demos, field kits, and evaluation harnesses that partners can fork, extend, and deploy.
  3. Convert field lessons into durable reusable assets: code, diagrams, checklists, decision trees, implementation notes, and architecture guidance.
  4. Review partner Agentforce architectures for agent design, retrieval strategy, tooling, guardrails, observability, cost, security, and production readiness.
  5. Coach Partner FDEs and architects through design clinics, office hours, portfolio reviews, and targeted technical walkthroughs.

Skills

Required

  • Experience building with LLMs, agents, RAG, tool use, workflow orchestration, or automation systems.
  • Ability to reason about multi-agent, human-in-the-loop, and enterprise integration patterns.
  • Comfort debugging agent behavior: traces, logs, failure modes, tool calls, bad context, bad data, latency, and user experience gaps.
  • Practical understanding of prompt design, retrieval quality, evaluation, hallucination risk, guardrails, and cost/performance trade-offs.
  • Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, architects, product teams, partner leaders, and executive stakeholders.
  • Strong systems thinking across APIs, data flows, identity, security, integration, observability, and operational handoff.
  • Strong product sense: you can distinguish a platform gap, a configuration issue, a partner delivery issue, and a pattern worth codifying.
  • Comfort operating in regulated or complex enterprise environments where governance, trust, and delivery risk matter.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on Salesforce, Agentforce, Data Cloud, Apex, Flow, LWC, MuleSoft, or multi-cloud architecture experience
  • Salesforce certifications
  • Experience working with system integrators, partner delivery teams, or complex enterprise implementation programs.
  • Published technical work: open-source projects, internal platform docs, talks, blog posts, or reusable architecture patterns.
  • Experience creating maturity models, readiness checks, production-readiness scorecards, or technical review frameworks.
  • Familiarity with consumption economics, agent cost modeling, TCO, or outcome-based delivery models.
