Job description

The Experience

The Cross-Cloud Marketing Demo team creates keynote demonstrations for Salesforce's most exciting moments, spanning Agentforce, Data Cloud, Slack, Tableau, and other clouds. Technical Architects on this team partner equally with product marketing managers, developers, and designers to own demos from concept through delivery, often showing them live on stage at Dreamforce, World Tour events, and executive briefings.

• 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.
• Own technical readiness for keynote events, including rehearsals and live show support, while coordinating directly with product and engineering teams on timing, constraints, and risk.

You're Our Person If...

• 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.
