Senior/Lead/Principal Software Engineer, Agentforce for Supply Chain

To get the best candidate experience, please consider applying for a maximum of 3 roles within 12 months to ensure you are not duplicating efforts. Job Category: Software Engineering About Salesforce 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. Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce. 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. As one user put it: “I’ve been waiting for this for 20 years.” The Teams Super Agent Team The Super Agent backend is the operational heart of Agentforce for Supply Chain — managing complex, infinitely configurable state with equally complex state transitions and interfaces across the platform. Built with intentional startup speed, the team is now hardening and scaling its foundations as customer adoption accelerates. You'll work on one of the most technically challenging and impactful backends at Salesforce: decomposing tightly coupled domains, hardening state transitions, designing cross-team boundaries, and building the observability needed to operate confidently at enterprise scale. Wide autonomy, real ownership, and meaningful advancement await. Integration & Platform Team The Integration & Platform team owns the mission‑critical data and integration backbone of the Agentforce for Supply Chain platform. The team is responsible for designing, building, and scaling the systems that connect our platform to the broader Salesforce ecosystem — including Mulesoft, Flow, and Data Cloud — while also powering the self‑serve data synchronization mechanisms that customers depend on daily. The work here directly forms the foundational data layer enabling core customer intelligence, platform functionality, and enterprise‑grade reliability at scale. What You'll Do We are seeking a highly experienced Senior, Lead, and Principal Engineers to serve as a key individual contributor across the Super Agent and Integration & Platform teams. In this role, you will own the hardest cross‑cutting system problems, set technical direction, and drive foundational investments that enable Agentforce for Supply Chain to scale.
