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.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated AI Platform Engineer to play a pivotal role in the development of our ML/AI platform.

You will work on critical projects that directly impact our marketing, sales, service, and product growth verticals of the organization..

This isn't a traditional infrastructure role. You should be open to wearing multiple hats-including but not limited to infrastructure, software engineering, and UI/UX development. We're looking for innovative, out-of-the-box thinkers who aren't afraid to experiment, build complex systems, and tackle challenges across the stack.

• Tooling and Automation: Implement and manage essential tooling to enhance developer productivity and platform security, including secrets management, package/dependency management, testing frameworks, developer self-service tools, automation scripts/bots, and observability integrations.

• Monitoring and Reliability: Contribute to establishing monitoring solutions (e.g., Grafana, PagerDuty) and integrate security scanning to ensure platform health and security.

• Security & Compliance: Participate in security reviews and ensure all platform components adhere to security best practices and compliance requirements.

• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including ML engineers, data scientists, and product managers, to deliver robust and high-performance solutions.

• Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for infrastructure, services, workflows, and user guides.

• Proven experience as a Platform Engineer, Software Engineer, or ML Infrastructure Engineer.

• Strong software engineering skills, particularly with Python, for building scalable tools, automation scripts, and platform components.

• Strong expertise in cloud platforms, particularly AWS (IAM, EKS, S3, SageMaker, etc.).

• Extensive experience with CI/CD tools, especially GitHub Actions and ArgoCD

• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code principles and tools (e.g., Terraform).

• Experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Understanding of networking concepts within cloud environments and service mesh technologies (eg., Istio)

• Experience with MLOps concepts and tools.

• Knowledge of Airflow or other workflow orchestration tools.

• Experience with monitoring and alerting systems (Grafana, PagerDuty).

• Familiarity with Okta or similar identity and access management systems.

• Experience with tenant and project onboarding processes in a multi-tenant environment.

• Familiarity with security best practices and conducting security reviews.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and dependencies effectively.

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points):

• Exposure to A/B testing experimentation platforms.

• Experience with Salesforce Ecosystem

• Have Built Agents and Evaluated them

• Experience with Agent Memory , MCP servers etc.

• Experience with unstructured databases(vector or graph databases) and RAG pipelines

• Experience with Feature Stores like Feast

Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications - without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
