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. The Experience Salesforce is hiring AI Builders, people who are early in their career but not early in their ambition. As part of our first-of-its-kind AI Builder New Grad cohort, you'll be embedded directly with customer-facing teams, designing, developing, and deploying Agentic solutions for the world's Fortune 500. We are at the beginning of the agentic era, and you will be at the keyboard building the solutions that define how the world's largest companies operate. You'll deliver real-time customer impact from day one. Working in a builder pod, a cross-functional team that collaborates to design, build, and deploy AI solutions for real customers. It's a built-in support system to ensure you're set up to win. Honestly, you're already thinking about what you'd build here...

The AI Builder Experience

AI-Powered Development: You'll be developing real customer solutions with the best-in-class suite of leading-edge AI tools: Including Cursor, Claude, and our coding products like Vibes, to accelerate development. Dedicated Mentorship: You won't be building in a vacuum. You'll be part of a program focused on hands‑on technical skill development, shadowing opportunities, and meaningful networking. You'll be paired with a dedicated onboarding buddy and have the opportunity to partner with senior developers. Skill Acceleration: This role is designed to develop both your technical depth and your sales skills, ensuring you can lead high-level conversations with stakeholders.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Develop AI agents that take real actions for real companies. This is not a side project. Agentforce is live, in production, running for some of the biggest companies on the planet.

Design Agent Intelligence

Design how agents think: prompts, reasoning, tool calls, and the entire architecture, leveraging AI/LLM technologies and the Agentforce platform. Support the entire Technical Lifecycle: Collaborate with other Builders to architect, build, debug, and deploy high-quality, scalable production systems using JavaScript, Python, and Apex. Drive Strategic Impact: Partner with clients to turn business challenges into agentic solutions. You'll use your consultative skills to ensure our tech meets real-world needs. Iterate and Deploy: Test it, break it, fix it, ship it. Repeat. You will own your work from day one.

You’re Our Person If

You have a strong background in Computer Science or a related engineering discipline. You're an AI native who has been deep in LLMs and prompt engineering. You are fluent in React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Python, OOP and Real‑Time Infra. You can hold your own in a room with our sales teams and customers. You write high-quality code and evaluate AI outputs with engineering rigor. You thrive in the group chat that's building something, not just talking about it. You're ready to grow faster here than anywhere else - nobody has 10 years of experience in this new frontier, which means your ideas carry real weight from day one. You bring sharp problem‑solving instincts, relentless initiative, and a get‑things‑done mentality. You are excited to travel 25‑50% of the time, working directly alongside our customers to see your code come to life in their environments.

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.
