• Engineer data interoperability across systems—collaborating with architects and data teams to break down silos, build ETL pipelines, and establish automated data workflows.
• Build and deploy retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns within Salesforce, implementing data indexing, grounding, safety measures, and evaluation loops.
• Collaborate closely with the Principal Architect and Principal AI Engineer to translate high-level business objectives into production-ready AI-powered solutions, ensuring alignment with architectural and engineering best practices.
• Prototype rapidly to validate new generative AI use cases and transition successful proofs-of-concept into stable, scalable, maintainable production applications.

• Drive and contribute to CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, and release management using modern tooling (SFDX, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, etc.).
• Ensure compliance, data security, and governance across all AI and integration solutions, including considerations for PII, data residency, consent management, and auditability.
• Partner with business stakeholders (technical and non-technical) to understand requirements, gather feedback, and continuously improve AI-driven capabilities.
• Work alongside data scientists and AI specialists to evaluate and optimize prompt strategies, fine-tune models, and implement organization-specific AI enhancements.
• Lead knowledge sharing and enablement, mentoring teams and fostering adoption of AI technologies throughout the organization.
• Monitor, evaluate, and iterate on AI solution performance to ensure quality, accuracy, and measurable business value.
• Stay current on industry advancements in AI, automation, and Salesforce innovation, integrating relevant learnings into the organization’s technology roadmap.
