AI & Data Integration Specialist

Job Overview

Salesforce is hiring an AI & Data Integration Specialist to join our Global Public Sector Solution Engineering team. The AI revolution is a data evolution, and this critical role sits at the forefront of making agentic AI a reality for our customers.

As a specialist, you are more than a technical expert—you are a strategic architectural partner who consolidates expertise across MuleSoft (Integration), Tableau (Analytics), Data Cloud (Unified Data Management), and agentic AI to solve complex data and AI challenges.

You will serve as the single point of contact for sales teams, ensuring every data and AI opportunity is handled by a specialist that thinks like an architect, draws on prior hands‑on delivery experience, and communicates outcomes and impacts in the voice of the business user and mission owner.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between legacy system connectivity and modern mission outcomes, acting as a trusted advisor who can navigate everything from API management and real‑time data unification to advanced analytics and the deployment strategy for intelligent agentic systems.

• Strategic Communication: Explain technical challenges in terms of mission and business value to C‑level government executives and technical stakeholders.
• AI Readiness: Deep understanding of "Trusted Context Foundations" for AI, including data grounding, metadata intelligence, and how unified data enables reliable agentic workflows.
• Collaboration & Influence: Partner early with Account Executives to drive sales strategy and lead "Data + Agentic AI Discovery" from day one.
• Experience: Minimum five years of professional experience in Solution Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, or Digital Transformation, with hands‑on delivery of AI/data/integration projects.

• Regulated Industry Experience: Background delivering AI solutions in highly regulated or mission‑critical environments.
