Senior/Lead/Principal Data Engineer Office hybrid in San Francisco, Dallas or Seattle About the Role We’re building the product data platform that will power Salesforce’s next era of agentic intelligence — delivering smarter, adaptive, and self-optimizing product experiences.

As a Full-Stack Data Engineer , you’ll design and build scalable systems that process hundreds of thousands of context-rich product signals. These signals fuel analytics, customer-facing products, ML models, and autonomous agents. You’ll work on: Near real-time and batch telemetry pipelines for trusted signal capture

Semantic layers and data products for reusable insights

Programmatic discovery via metadata, MCP, and knowledge graphs

This isn’t a typical data engineering role. We’re looking for creative, systems-minded engineers working outside of the “data engineer” box, fluent in both data and AI , and excited to navigate ambiguity, cross boundaries, and drive real impact.

What You’ll Do Build and scale fault tolerant batch and streaming data pipelines using Spark, Trino, Flink, Kafka, DBT

Design programmatic consumption layers to make product signals easy to define, discover, and reuse

Apply software engineering best practices to data systems: testing, CI/CD, observability

Evolve systems to support not just human analysis, but autonomous agent reasoning

Contribute to a trusted data foundation powering decisions, AI agents, and adaptive products

Collaborate across orgs with telemetry engineers, product leaders, data scientists, and AI builders

What We’re Looking For 5+ years of experience in data engineering , with strong software engineering fundamentals

Expertise with big data frameworks : Spark, Trino/Presto, DBT

Experience with streaming systems like Flink and Kafka , incl. distribution strategy (topics & partitions)

Solid understanding of semantic layers , data modeling , and metrics systems

Experience with cloud infrastructure , particularly AWS (e.g., S3, EMR, ECS, IAM), Containerization

Bonus: fluency in AI data engineering patterns and tools like MCP

Bonus: experience with knowledge graphs and modern metadata systems

Bonus: experience with Snowflake

Strong communicator and collaborator — comfortable working across teams and domains

Curious, pragmatic, and impact-driven mindset

Why Join Us Help shape how Salesforce leads the digital labor revolution. You’ll be at the heart of transforming raw product signals into intelligent decisions — for everyone from engineers to sales reps to AI agents. If you’re excited to design resilient, trusted, and intelligent systems at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
