Build the next generation of AI-powered Salesforce solutions

Join a global digital transformation consultancy at the forefront of enterprise AI and Salesforce innovation.

We're looking for a hands-on Salesforce Forward Deployed Engineer to design, build and deliver intelligent, AI-powered solutions for major enterprise organisations.

This is an engineering role, not a Salesforce configuration position. You'll work across Salesforce development, Agentforce, generative AI and enterprise integration to turn complex business challenges into production-ready solutions.

What you'll do

• Design and build AI-powered agents and experiences using Salesforce Agentforce, Einstein AI and related technologies.

• Develop and customise solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), JavaScript, Flow and APIs.

• Create, customise and optimise prompt templates using Salesforce Prompt Builder.

• Connect AI agents to enterprise data and business processes through Salesforce Data Cloud and wider integration platforms.

• Build integrations using REST/SOAP APIs, MuleSoft, Platform Events and event-driven architecture.

• Apply prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), grounding and techniques to reduce AI hallucinations.

• Test and evaluate AI solutions for accuracy, quality, cost and performance.

• Work directly with client teams to understand challenges, shape technical approaches and deliver measurable business outcomes.

• Contribute to engineering standards, code quality, CI/CD and DevOps practices.

What we're looking for

• Strong hands-on Salesforce development experience, including Apex, LWC, JavaScript and Flow.

• Experience with Salesforce clouds such as Sales Cloud or Service Cloud.

• Practical experience with Agentforce, Einstein AI, Prompt Builder or other Salesforce AI capabilities.

• Understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, grounding and AI evaluation.

• Experience working with Salesforce Data Cloud and enterprise data integration.

• Knowledge of APIs, integration patterns and event-driven architecture.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including debugging, testing, code quality and version control.

• Confidence explaining technical decisions, solving complex problems and working directly with clients.

• Ability to take ownership of solutions from design through to deployment.

• Ability to lead and support the development of junior engineers through constructive code reviews, hands-on coaching and sharing engineering best practices.

Nice to have

• Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP), vector search or embeddings.

• Python or other programming experience beyond the Salesforce platform.

• Salesforce certifications across development, architecture or AI.

Why join?

• Work on innovative AI and Salesforce programmes for major global organisations.

• Build real-world enterprise AI solutions using emerging technologies.

• Work alongside experienced engineers, architects and digital transformation specialists.

• Develop your skills through challenging projects and ongoing learning.

• Enjoy a flexible hybrid working environment and a competitive benefits package.
