Federal Solution Engineer – AI & Mission Impact

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.

Be part of Salesforce’s high-energy Federal Public Sector Solution Engineering (SE) team, where your technical expertise meets a higher purpose. In this role, you aren't just selling software - you are a mission‑critical partner in improving how government serves its citizens.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of digital transformation. You are a customer-facing technical trusted advisor who will support vital federal missions by designing, building and demonstrating how our Agentic Government Cloud solutions solve the government’s most complex challenges. You will lead technical discovery, shape and execute proof points for customer environments, guide production readiness, and establish a clear path to activation and consumption—blending executive presence with deep, full-stack technical skills across Salesforce, modern data architectures, and AI.

The SE is focused on helping our government customers become a true Agentic Enterprise by operationalizing Data + AI + Trust. You will serve as a definitive subject matter expert for our government solutions and guide customers across the lifecycle—from technical evaluation and close through activation, adoption, and expansion.
