Account Solution Engineer - A&D/GovSI (All Levels)

Solution Engineer - Aerospace & Defense/Government System Integrators (All Levels) 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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Salesforce’s Aerospace & Defense and Government System Integrator practice sits at the intersection of enterprise cloud and mission‑critical national security programs. We serve defense primes such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, government SIs such as Leidos, SAIC, Booz Allen, and Accenture Federal, and the broader A&D sector with solutions that meet NIST, FedRAMP High, CMMC, and DoD Impact Level requirements and increasingly incorporate agentic AI capabilities that deliver measurable program value.
