Role Description
AI Labs is building an emerging product that changes how Salesforce itself gets built. It reads the environment a customer already has, tells them what to fix first, makes the change, proves the change is safe, and helps them build what is next. A product like this only matters if the people in the field can actually wield it. That is this role.
As Chief Builder and Distinguished Solution Engineer, you are the most technically credible person in the room and you use that credibility to get every technical role in our field ready to build: Solution Engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, Professional Services, Customer Success, and our partner ecosystem. You own internal technical enablement and the programs behind it. You set the standard for what good looks like, and then you make thousands of people capable of reaching it.
Responsibilities

 * Own internal technical enablement. Design and run the enablement that makes SE, FDE, Professional Services, Success, and Partner technologists genuinely capable with the product. Not slideware. Hands on keyboard, measured by what they can build afterward.
 * Own the programming. Build the curriculum, certification path, office hours, build labs, and champions network that carry the capability across every region and every team.
 * Set the technical standard. Define what a good build looks like: tested, governed, reversible, explainable. Publish the reference patterns everyone else works from.
 * Build the reference library. Turn the best real work in the field into reusable references that any technologist can pick up and run with.
 * Be the proof in the room. Lead the hardest technical engagements and the most senior customer conversations. A CIO should be able to ask you why a change is safe and get a real answer.
 * Close the loop with Product. Bring back what the field actually hits: the gaps, the sharp edges, and the patterns worth building into the product.
 * Scale through others. Grow a network of technical leaders across the field who can run this without you in the room., Chief Engineer As Chief Engineer, you'll lead the maintenance and engineering operations of the property, ensuring all building systems, equipment, and facilities operate safely …
