Senior/Lead AI Software Engineer, Agentforce for Supply Chain

Description Overview of the Role Join an agile team with deep startup roots. We operate as a high‑velocity “startup‑within‑Salesforce,” following our recent acquisition. You’ll be managed by the same founders and engineers who built the original company, offering the autonomy of a small team backed by the global scale and trust of Salesforce. You will have the unique opportunity to build a “0 to 1” product with the founding team, while leveraging Salesforce's world‑class Data Cloud and security infrastructure to drive immediate global impact at scale. Global supply chains still rely on slow, manual processes—email, spreadsheets, and fragmented data. The economy moves fast but supply chains don’t, creating an inefficiency that affects the $13T of goods shipped annually and is one of the largest untapped opportunities in modern enterprise. Agentforce for Supply Chain is reimagining the supply chain with an AI‑powered platform for designing, automating, and running end‑to‑end business processes, with seamless collaboration through familiar channels like email. For Salesforce, this represents a massive growth opportunity in the back office, with innovations that flow into the front office. Customers are clamoring for more, rapidly expanding their use cases as we enter an exhilarating growth phase.
