The Experience The AI Solutions team in Technology & Product builds the products and platforms that help Salesforce engineers use AI coding tools safely, effectively, and measurably. Our work spans DevBar, AI usage telemetry, code attribution, budget governance, developer intelligence, and the integrations that make AI tools easier to adopt at Salesforce scale. As a Lead Member of Technical Staff, you will design, build, and own full-stack product and platform capabilities across desktop applications, backend services, data pipelines, dashboards, and developer-facing integrations. You will help turn fast-moving AI developer productivity ideas into reliable software that thousands of Salesforce engineers can use every day. What You'll Actually Be Doing Design and ship full-stack features across AI Solutions products, including DevBar, AI metrics, AI attribution, Limits, and related developer intelligence surfaces. Build backend APIs, data models, ingestion flows, dashboards, and user experiences that connect AI tool usage to outcomes engineers and leaders can act on. Lead technical design for integrations with AI coding tools and internal platforms, turning ambiguous requirements into maintainable, scalable software. Own what you build in production by improving observability, reliability, performance, and supportability as part of the software development lifecycle. Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code. Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale. Contribute to building and maintaining the shared system context, an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably. Critically evaluate code (human or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance.
