You’ll embed with a business team, learn their process in enough detail to argue about edge cases, and then build the thing - in their org, against their data, with them watching. The feedback loop is days, not quarters.\nThe work is a mix of three things. First, Agentforce: designing agents, topics, and actions on the platform, grounding them in Data Cloud, and tuning them until they behave in production. Second, custom MCP servers you design and write in Python, which connect agents (Agentforce and others) to systems and capabilities the platform doesn’t cover out of the box. Third, the core Salesforce engineering that makes both dependable: Apex, LWC, Flow, integrations, and a data model that holds up under real volume.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nRun discovery directly with business stakeholders - process walkthroughs, org audits, data profiling - and turn what you learn into a design, not a backlog of tickets.\nDesign, build, and deploy Agentforce agents: topics, instructions, guardrails, and actions backed by Apex, Flow, prompt templates, and APIs.\nGround agents in the right data using Data Cloud, retrieval, and the Einstein Trust Layer, with an eye on accuracy, latency, and cost.\nDecide, case by case, whether a capability belongs in a native Agentforce action or a custom MCP server, and build the connection between them when it’s the latter.\n\nDesign and build custom MCP servers in Python that expose Salesforce objects, SOQL queries, Apex endpoints, and business actions as well-scoped agent tools, with clear input schemas, useful error messages, and permissions that respect the org’s sharing model.\n\nBuild on-platform: Apex (triggers, Queueable, Batch, async patterns), Lightning Web Components, Flow, Platform Events, and a data model you’d defend in review.\n\nIntegrate Salesforce with external systems - REST and GraphQL APIs, OAuth 2.0 flows, Named Credentials, External Services, middleware - handling retries, idempotency, and rate limits properly.\n\nEvaluate agent behavior end to end: write test cases, measure topic routing and action accuracy, and find failure modes before a user does.\n\nOwn deployment and quality - SFDX, scratch orgs, CI/CD, Apex test coverage that means something, and governor-limit awareness as a design habit rather than a bug fix.\nLeave documentation and runbooks behind, so the team you embedded with can operate what you built after you move on.\nREQUIREMENTS\nSalesforce depth\n6-9 years building on the Salesforce platform.\nProduction Apex at scale: bulkification, asynchronous patterns, governor limits, trigger frameworks.\nLightning Web Components and solid front-end fundamentals (JavaScript, HTML, CSS).\nDeclarative fluency - Flow, validation rules, sharing and visibility - and judgment about when not to write code.\nData modeling, large-data-volume considerations, and integration architecture.\nSales Cloud, Service Cloud, or Experience Cloud in production.\nAgentforce, MCP, and Python\nHands-on Agentforce experience: building agents with topics and actions, Prompt Builder, Agent Builder, and Data Cloud grounding.\nStrong Python - you’ve shipped and maintained services, not just scripts.\nHands-on experience building custom MCP servers or comparable LLM tool-use integrations (function calling, agent frameworks, retrieval pipelines).\nA working mental model of how LLMs fail, and the habit of designing tools that fail safely.\nAPI design, authentication, and secrets handling in an environment with real compliance constraints.\nComfort with Git, CI/CD, containers, and cloud deployment.\nHow you work\nYou’re effective in front of non-technical stakeholders - you can run the meeting, not just attend it.\nYou move under ambiguity and know which corners are safe to cut in a prototype and which ones aren’t.\nYou write clearly. Design docs, decision records, and handoff notes are part of the job.\nBONUS\nSalesforce certifications - Agentforce Specialist, Data Cloud 360 Consultant, Platform Developer II, Application Architect, or Integration Architect.\nProduction Agentforce deployments with measurable business outcomes.\nData Cloud implementation experience beyond basic grounding.\nOpen-source contributions to MCP servers, agent tooling, or the Salesforce developer ecosystem.\nPrior consulting, solutions engineering, or forward-deployed work at a product company.\nExperience with evaluation frameworks for LLM applications.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4662,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Analytics & BI Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T17:46:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/myridius-salesforce-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/myridius-salesforce-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T13:16:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19018,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1970577},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1970577"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmyridius-salesforce-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmyridius-salesforce-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmyridius-salesforce-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/myridius-salesforce-forward-deployed-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmyridius-salesforce-forward-deployed-engineer"}]}
