Partner Technical Architect - Agentforce

Overview Salesforce is hiring a hands‑on Partner Technical Architect to help top system integrator partners build production‑grade Agentforce solutions at scale. The role involves working directly with Partner FDEs to prototype ambiguous AI problems into reference implementations, starter kits, demos, and evaluation harnesses, turn field lessons into reusable assets, evaluate partner architectures, coach partners, convert blockers into product feedback, and connect architectural decisions to quality and customer outcomes. Key Responsibilities Prototype quickly to validate ideas, expose platform gaps, and unblock first‑of‑kind implementation risks. Build reference implementations, starter kits, demos, field kits, and evaluation harnesses that partners can fork, extend, and deploy. Convert field lessons into durable reusable assets such as code, diagrams, checklists, decision trees, implementation notes, and architecture guidance. Review partner Agentforce architectures for agent design, retrieval strategy, tooling, guardrails, observability, cost, security, and production readiness. Coach Partner FDEs and architects through design clinics, office hours, portfolio reviews, and targeted technical walkthroughs. Translate recurring field blockers into clear product and engineering feedback. Help partners connect technical architecture choices to delivery quality, customer outcomes, and consumption economics. Qualifications Builder Profile You have shipped or seriously prototyped real software, agents, automations, internal tools, or technical demos. You can show your work through GitHub repos, demo apps, notebooks, architecture docs, eval harnesses, demo orgs, open‑source contributions, or equivalent artifacts. You learn new platforms by building with them, not by waiting for perfect documentation, and can move fast while respecting safety, reliability, observability, and maintainability instincts. Applied AI & Agentic Systems Experience Building with LLMs, agents, Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG), tool use, workflow orchestration, or automation systems; reasoning about multi‑agent, human‑in‑the‑loop, and enterprise integration patterns; debugging agent behavior including traces, logs, failure modes, tool calls, bad context, bad data, latency, and user experience gaps; practical understanding of prompt design, retrieval quality, evaluation, hallucination risk, guardrails, and cost/performance trade‑offs. Enterprise Architecture Judgment Communicating clearly with engineers, architects, product teams, partner leaders, and executive stakeholders; strong systems thinking across APIs, data flows, identity, security, integration, observability, and operational handoff; strong product sense; comfort operating in regulated or complex enterprise environments. Preferred Experience Hands‑on Salesforce, Agentforce, Data Cloud, Apex, Flow, LWC, MuleSoft, or multi‑cloud architecture experience; Salesforce certifications helpful but not required if you can demonstrate strong builder evidence and rapid platform learning; experience with system integrators, partner delivery teams, or complex enterprise implementation programs; published technical work such as open‑source projects, internal platform docs, talks, blogs, or reusable architecture patterns; experience creating maturity models, readiness checks, production‑readiness scorecards, or technical review frameworks; familiarity with consumption economics, agent cost modeling, total cost of ownership, or outcome‑based delivery models. Salary & Benefits Base salary range: $172,500 – $260,100 annually, with higher ranges in the SanFrancisco and NewYork City metropolitan areas. Time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock‑purchasing program.
