About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

Salesforce is looking for a motivated Platform Solution Engineer to join our extremely talented Pre-Sales Solution Engineering team, who are instrumental to MuleSoft’s growth.
As a Platform/Specialist Solution Engineer, you will be the trusted technical expert in demonstrating and proving how the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform and Agent Fabric meet customers’ requirements. You will be an integral part of the Account team, helping deliver customer success through discovery and qualification, architectural recommendations, and building complex product demonstrations and PoCs.
These are the core skills you’ll need to be successful:

• 5+ years of experience in solution architecture, pre-sales engineering, or technical consulting for enterprise software, with experience on the selling side of complex deals.
• Strong hands-on experience with iPaaS, SaaS, integration architecture patterns, and cloud-native platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience using AI and agentic tools, including LLMs and coding agents like Claude, along with familiarity with information security, infrastructure, and networking capabilities.
• Experience scoping and building Proofs of Concept (PoCs) and Proofs of Technology (PoTs) to secure technical wins.
• Ability to design and deliver customer workshops and build reusable demo assets that influence early-stage opportunities, accelerate technical validation, and support customer adoption.
• Ability to switch between keyboard and whiteboard as the situation demands, equally comfortable building hands-on solutions and articulating technical value in front of C-level executives.

What you’ll achieve:
3 months:

• Become certified in MuleSoft’s Developer trainings
• Complete MuleSoft’s sales onboarding program
• Begin to build your architecture reframe and whiteboarding skills through shadowing and customer-scenario role playing
• Create a demonstration on a MuleSoft technical topic of interest

6 months:

• Become certified in all Product, Architecture, and Sales Messaging trainings
• Deliver product presentations and demonstrations that are tailored to the client’s technical requirements and audience
• Develop Proofs of Concept (PoCs) as part of an account team to demonstrate the art of the possible
• Put all the pieces together to “perfect your craft” by helping to close deals

12 months:

• Participate in the continuous improvement of MuleSoft products by making technical contributions and by providing feedback from the field to Product Marketing and Engineering
• Partner with the Account team on account planning and strategy and support marketing with evangelism activities (writing blogs, participating in demo-driven webinars, speaking at industry events, etc.)
