TL;DR · Lead Agentic Data Systems Engineer

As a Lead Agentic Data Systems Engineer at Salesforce’s Enterprise Data & AI Solutions team, you will play a pivotal role in transforming architectural blueprints into robust data products. Your responsibilities include architecting and maintaining an ecosystem of autonomous agents for ETL processes, synthetic data generation, automated QA, and predictive modeling, ensuring they operate seamlessly with minimal human intervention. You will also develop governance frameworks to oversee these systems and integrate them securely with Snowflake, Salesforce, AWS, and internal data catalogs using Model Context Protocol servers. This role demands expertise in Python, dbt, Airflow, advanced SQL, Apache Spark, and Snowflake, alongside proficiency in AI-native development environments like Cursor or Claude Code, and agentic frameworks such as LangGraph. Ideal candidates have 5+ years of experience in high-stakes data engineering and a proven track record of leveraging generative AI to enhance productivity significantly.

What you'll do

  • - Architect and maintain a private ecosystem of 10+ autonomous agents for ETL, synthetic data generation, QA, and predictive modeling.
  • - Design multi-step reasoning architectures to ensure AI agents autonomously validate and peer-review their own outputs.
  • - Transform high-level business requirements into production-ready data products independently without mid-level project management.
  • - Develop governance strategies using domain knowledge to ensure deployed tools are well governed with code-based oversight.
  • - Create and maintain Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for secure, deep-link access to various data sources.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in high-stakes Data Engineering, Architecture, or Data Science.
  • Proficiency in Python, dbt, Airflow, advanced SQL, Apache Spark, and Snowflake.
  • Expertise in AI-native development environments and agentic frameworks like LangGraph.
  • Advanced understanding of Data Mesh, Data-as-a-Product (DaaP), and Event-Driven Architectures.
  • Experience managing complex "hand-off" protocols between specialized AI agents.
  • Fluency in Salesforce Core and Data 360 with a documented history of using generative AI.
  • Superior analytical judgment to identify logic errors or hallucinations in agentic output.
