• Partner with leadership to turn emerging product ideas into demo-able prototypes across Salesforce, Slack, and external platforms such as Claude, often before formal requirements exist.
• Architect end-to-end demo environments and multi-product flows, building with Apex, Lightning web components, flows, and platform automation.
• Create reusable demo guides, toolkits, and training so global teams can execute live demos with less centralized support.

• You have 5 or more years of hands-on experience with the Salesforce platform in development, administration, or solution architecture at a senior level and continue to maintain strong skills in Apex, Lightning web components, flows, and declarative automation, plus front-end web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• You have prototyped ambiguous, early-stage concepts for executive audiences across multiple platforms and have built enablement tools that scale to distributed teams.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — ability to work with non-technical partners (marketing, design, executives) to translate stories into technical solutions
• You can work under extreme time pressure with high-stakes deadlines, travel at least 33% of the time, and work flexible hours during event preparation.
• A related technical degree required.

Even Better If...

• You have built live product demonstrations for large audiences, such as conferences or executive briefings.
• You have experience with Agentforce, AI agents, or agentic architectures, or with Slack platform development.
• You know Tableau, Data Cloud, or other data integration platforms.
• You have a background in storytelling, presentation design, or production environments such as media or event production.
