Key Responsibilities
Agentforce Solution Design, Build & Deployment
- Design, build, configure, and deploy Salesforce Agentforce solutions and autonomous AI agent workflows — taking complete hands-on delivery ownership of Agentforce implementations from initial agent design through action configuration, topic and instruction development, workflow integration, testing, and production deployment, ensuring that deployed Agentforce agents perform reliably, interact accurately with enterprise data, and deliver the specific business value identified in discovery workshops without requiring excessive ongoing engineering intervention after initial deployment
- Configure Agentforce agents, actions, topics, instructions, and supporting workflows — applying deep Agentforce configuration expertise to define the specific agent personas, the actions (Apex-defined, Flow-based, or API-calling) available to each agent, the topics that govern when specific actions are invoked, the natural language instructions that guide agent behavior, and the supporting workflow automation that orchestrates multi-step business processes when agents trigger downstream actions across Salesforce and connected enterprise systems
- Rapidly prototype, test, iterate, and productionize AI-powered Agentforce solutions — applying the fail-fast, learn-quickly prototyping approach that enterprise AI adoption programmes require to move quickly from identified use case through working prototype to validated production deployment, without getting locked into extended prototype development cycles that delay value realization and client confidence in the Agentforce investment
- Integrate Agentforce with Salesforce data, enterprise platforms, APIs, and external systems — designing and implementing the named credentials, external service registrations, Apex integration classes, and Salesforce Flow-based integration patterns that give Agentforce agents access to the enterprise data and system capabilities they need to resolve customer queries, complete automated tasks, and orchestrate multi-system business processes without requiring manual human intervention at each integration step
Salesforce Engineering — Apex, Flow, APIs & Data Architecture
- Develop and enhance Salesforce solutions using Apex, Salesforce Flow, APIs, and integration technologies — applying senior-level Salesforce engineering capability to build the custom Apex classes, triggers, and test coverage that back Agentforce actions with reliable, well-tested server-side logic, and the Screen Flow, Record-Triggered Flow, and Autolaunched Flow configurations that provide no-code/low-code process automation layers above the Apex foundation
- Work with Salesforce data architecture and ensure agents have appropriate access to trusted enterprise data — designing the object model configurations, permission set architectures, field-level security specifications, sharing rule configurations, and Named Principal OAuth connections that give Agentforce agents precisely the data access they need to perform their assigned tasks while maintaining the security and governance standards that enterprise clients require for AI system data access
- Work with Data Cloud to ground Agentforce solutions in enterprise data — implementing Data Cloud data streams, data model objects, segmentation, calculated insights, and vector search embeddings that give Agentforce agents access to unified enterprise customer and operational data at the quality, freshness, and semantic precision level that accurate AI agent responses require, preventing the hallucinated or out-of-context responses that result from agents lacking sufficient grounding in reliable enterprise data
- Support solution architecture across security, governance, scalability, and responsible AI adoption — contributing Salesforce engineering and Agentforce domain expertise to the programme’s broader solution architecture decisions, ensuring that Agentforce implementations are designed with enterprise-grade security, appropriate human-in-the-loop controls, clear audit trails, and scalable technical patterns that can expand to serve additional use cases and user volumes as the programme grows
Client Workshops, Stakeholder Engagement & Use Case Discovery
- Work directly with senior business stakeholders to identify and prioritize high-value AI, automation, and Agentforce use cases — applying the specific combination of Salesforce platform knowledge, Agentforce technical capability awareness, and business process understanding that enables effective AI use case discovery, helping client business leaders see where Agentforce can create genuine value in their specific operational context rather than where generic AI marketing suggests it might apply
- Lead client workshops, demonstrations, discovery sessions, and technical working sessions — facilitating the structured stakeholder engagement activities that translate vague client interest in AI into specific, scoped, commercially valuable Agentforce use cases with clear success criteria, defined data requirements, manageable implementation complexity, and realistic value delivery timelines
- Translate real-world operational challenges into practical Salesforce and Agentforce solutions — applying the business process understanding and technical solution creativity that converts messy, ambiguous real-world operational problems into clean, well-defined Agentforce implementations that are genuinely effective rather than technically impressive but practically limited
- Support adoption of Agentforce solutions and continuously improve agents based on business feedback and performance — managing the post-deployment agent improvement cycle that refines agent instructions, expands action capabilities, improves data grounding quality, and addresses user feedback to progressively increase agent effectiveness and business user confidence in the Agentforce solutions deployed during the programme
Requirements & Ideal Profile
Required Experience
- Strong hands-on Salesforce engineering background — production Apex, Flow, API, and integration development experience in enterprise Salesforce environments
- Commercial, hands-on experience with Salesforce Agentforce — having actually built and deployed Agentforce agents in real client or employer environments, not just personal experimentation or Trailhead completion
- Experience building AI agents, Agentforce workflows, or Salesforce AI solutions — with a demonstrable track record of AI agent implementations that delivered measurable business value
- Strong understanding of Einstein AI and Salesforce AI capabilities — including the specific capabilities, limitations, and prompt engineering considerations of Salesforce’s embedded AI layer
- Excellent client-facing skills — comfortable leading workshops, presenting to senior stakeholders, and explaining complex AI concepts in business-outcome terms
Highly Desirable
- Previous experience in Energy, Oil & Gas, Utilities, Engineering, or other complex enterprise environments — the sector most likely for this specific Abu Dhabi programme
- Experience with Data Cloud and grounding Agentforce solutions using enterprise data — increasingly critical as Agentforce matures in enterprise deployment
- Broader knowledge of Generative AI, LLMs, and prompt engineering — for understanding what Agentforce can and cannot do at the AI model level
