About The Position

The Cross-Cloud Marketing Demo team creates keynote demonstrations for Salesforce's most exciting moments, spanning Agentforce, Data Cloud, Slack, Tableau, and other clouds. Technical Architects on this team partner equally with product marketing managers, developers, and designers to own demos from concept through delivery, often showing them live on stage at Dreamforce, World Tour events, and executive briefings. We are looking for a Senior Keynote Developer to translate leadership's vision into working prototypes, build tools that let global teams run their own live demos, and keep product and engineering teams aligned on what is safe to show on stage. The team showcases the entire Salesforce ecosystem as well as external surfaces such as Claude. Our team supports public and internal events globally, from Dreamforce in San Francisco to World Tours in Paris, Tokyo, London, Sydney, and New York.
