Job Category Software Engineering Job Details 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. Applications will be accepted until 07/15/2026. Join Salesforce's brand-new IT Employee Success and Finance Platform and Innovations team - a greenfield engineering org built from the ground up since early 2026 to define the data foundation powering HR and Finance at global scale. Based in San Francisco, CA; Indianapolis, IN; Denver, CO; New York, NY; or Atlanta, GA, you will serve as the technical authority for our Workday integration ecosystem, architecting the pipelines that make employee and financial data available, accurate, and ready for agentic use cases across Salesforce. What You'll Actually Be Doing Architect and govern the integration landscape between Workday and Salesforce's broader enterprise ecosystem - designing scalable, secure, high-throughput pipelines that treat PII and SOX-regulated data with zero tolerance for error. Translate complex HR and Finance business strategies into reusable, well-documented integration platforms that make the entire engineering organization more efficient and capable of supporting agentic workloads. Partner with HR and Finance business stakeholders to define data integrity standards, validate integration accuracy, and drive adoption of engineering excellence practices including modern CI/CD for SaaS and robust testing automation. Mentor lead and staff engineers, lead architectural review processes, and establish guardrails that raise the technical bar across the team as the platform scales. You're Our Person If... You have 10 or more years of software engineering experience, including at least 2 years in a technical lead or staff capacity, with a strong track record of building SaaS-to-SaaS integrations and custom middleware/APIs bridging legacy and modern enterprise systems. You have deep experience handling high-stakes financial or HR data - you understand that a 1% data mismatch in Finance or HR is a 100% failure, and you architect accordingly with SOX compliance and auditability at the center. You think in platforms, not features - your work emphasizes reusability, documentation, and consistent engineering patterns that downstream consumers can trust. You are a skilled communicator who can partner with non-technical business stakeholders, influence engineering direction without direct authority, and drive alignment across cross-functional teams. A related technical degree required. Even Better If... You have direct hands-on experience with Workday (Extend, Orchestration, Integration Studio, or similar tools). You have worked in a FinTech or highly regulated industry where audit trails and compliance are non-negotiable. You are familiar with the Salesforce ecosystem - including MuleSoft, Data Cloud, or Slack - and understand how to connect Workday data into these platforms. You have experience standing up new platform teams or programs from scratch, including defining standards and onboarding engineering contributors. Unleash Your Potential When you join Salesforce, you'll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best. Together, we'll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future - but to redefine what's possible - for yourself, for AI, and the world.
