This role focuses on delivering smarter, adaptive, and self-optimizing product experiences through sophisticated data engineering.

The position involves working on cutting-edge data systems that process hundreds of thousands of context-rich product signals, which fuel analytics, customer-facing products, ML models, and autonomous agents.

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience in data engineering with strong software engineering fundamentals.

Working at Salesforce offers the opportunity to shape how the company leads the digital labor revolution, transforming raw product signals into intelligent decisions. The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $157,600 to $334,600 depending on location, along with comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401k, and stock purchase programs.

The role is based in San Francisco, Dallas, or Seattle with a hybrid work arrangement, offering flexibility while maintaining in-person collaboration. Salesforce maintains a strong commitment to equality and non-discrimination, fostering an inclusive workplace environment where decisions are based on merit and qualifications.
