Job description
Salesforce is looking for a Director of Enablement Engineering who is as comfortable managing a high-performing team as they are live in front of a room full of engineers. This role leads the Enablement Engineering team within Technology, People, Innovation & Learning (TPIL), reporting to the Senior Director of TPIL Learning, and is central to driving Salesforce's AI adoption journey across the Technology & Products (T&P) organization.
This is a player-coach role. You'll set the vision and direction for the team, develop and grow your engineers, and still roll up your sleeves to build and facilitate world-class technical enablement yourself. You know how to lead, but you haven't lost the hands-on instincts that made you good at this work.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of Enablement Engineers - setting clear expectations, providing regular feedback, supporting career growth and fostering a collaborative, high-standards team culture
- Drive team priorities and workload planning in alignment with broader T&P learning strategy and represent the team and its impact with senior stakeholders
- Partner with the Senior Director of TPIL Learning to shape the enablement engineering strategy and roadmap.
- Develop and facilitate live and virtual technical enablement sessions for Salesforce engineers and technical audiences - making complex AI and platform concepts accessible and actionable.
Requirements
- You have proven experience leading and managing technical teams - you know how to hire well, develop people, and build a team that does their best work.
- You have hands-on software engineering experience - you write code, not just read it. Proficiency in at least one language (Python, JavaScript, Java, or similar) is required.
- You have solid understanding of software development fundamentals: version control (Git), application programming interfaces (APIs), debugging, and the software development life cycle (SDLC).
- You have proven experience presenting and facilitating to technical audiences - you're energized by a room, not intimidated by it. You are comfortable setting up and troubleshooting technical environments on the fly and able to translate complex technical concepts into clear, engaging, audience-appropriate content.
Even Better If...
- You have experience with Salesforce platform development (Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flow, or similar).
- You have familiarity with AI/ML concepts and hands-on experience working with AI tools - prompt engineering, large language models (LLMs), Agentforce, or Copilot.
- You have a background in developer relations, technical training, or solutions engineering.
- You can build and maintain demo environments, sandboxes, and code samples that support live facilitation.
