Job description

To get the best candidate experience, please consider applying for a maximum of 3 roles within 12 months to ensure you are not duplicating efforts. Job Category Software Engineering Job Details 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. Unleash Your Potential: The Role of the Exponential Software Engineer Forget the limitations of the traditional Architect role. We're not just evolving it; we're launching a paradigm shift. We're hunting for a hands-on engineering visionary—an Exponential Software Engineer—who will wield next-generation agentic tools to achieve impossible velocity. This is a mission to shatter bureaucracy, eliminate coordination friction, and grant you the ultimate power to build. You are the architect, the builder, the product owner, and the sole force responsible for delivering breakthrough software at an unprecedented pace. Your canvas is limitless, and your toolkit is the future. Your Unrestricted Power & Mission • Unlimited Resources, Unlimited Reach: We provide unlimited tokens and unfettered access to the planet's top-tier AI models. Your only constraint is your ambition. • Architect Your Own Reality (Agentic IDE): Complete freedom to define and construct your own bespoke, agentic Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Build the ultimate co-pilot ecosystem tailored to your genius. • The One-Person Startup: Be a trailblazer. As one of the first in this role, you will define the blueprint for the entire engineering organization, operating with the autonomy and end-to-end ownership of a startup founder. • From Vision to Value: Own the entire product lifecycle—from writing crisp, impactful product requirements to deploying the final, production-grade solution. • Master of the Machine: Elevate your focus to strategic system design and complex problem-solving. Your core job is to guide, orchestrate, and validate the output of AI agents, transforming routine and boilerplate code into instant, high-quality deliverables. • The Living Source of Truth: Maintain a vibrant, crystal-clear knowledge base (like claude.md files) that serves as the absolute, non-negotiable source of truth, ensuring your agentic tools are perfectly aligned and on mission. • Ultimate Quality Gate: You are the final, non-negotiable authority. Continuously refine and tune your agentic workflows, setting and enforcing an uncompromising standard for architectural excellence. • Success Defined by Impact: We measure your success by delivered features and breakthrough product milestones, leaving obsolete activity metrics in the past. The Builder We're Looking For • Deep Engineering Mastery: You possess architect-level, full-stack engineering expertise and the profound confidence to autonomously build complex, mission-critical features from zero to one. • The Founder's Instinct: You embody the &#34;All-in-One Builder&#34; mindset—you instinctively identify high-leverage problems, define the necessary solution, and execute the delivery with relentless drive. • Agentic Mindset: You have proven, hands-on experience leveraging advanced AI coding tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) to generate, test, and rapidly iterate on code, coupled with an insatiable hunger to integrate emerging AI capabilities. • Decomposition & Orchestration: The ability to look at a simple request and immediately decompose it into a robust, executable workflow that sophisticated AI agents can flawlessly execute. • Prompt Engineering Black Belt: Stellar skills in crafting ultra-effective prompts and defining explicit, guiding rules for AI tools, allowing you to focus on macro-architecture while the agents handle the micro-execution. Bonus Points for Exponential Accelerators • Prior hands-on experience with Salesforce Service Cloud (our initial high-impact projects will be focused here). • A proven knack for defensive project scoping that preemptively eliminates external bottlenecks, guaranteeing maximum velocity. • Experience in a true product-engineering hybrid role, bridging design and delivery without the drag of traditional project management layers. • A strong background in architecting automated testing and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines specifically for agent-assisted and AI-generated workflows. <p style="t
