Senior Manager, Software Engineering - Agent Authoring

Salesforce•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. The Agentforce Authoring team owns the full agent creation lifecycle from inception to deployment. We build the visual canvas editor, simulation and debugging tooling, developer experience layer, and an AI coding assistant that generates agents from natural language. Our work includes the development of AgentScript — an open-source language that lets builders blend deterministic control with AI reasoning, so agents are both intelligent and predictable. The result is agents that can be authored, reviewed, and shipped with the same rigor as production software. Every agent built on Salesforce starts with our tools.
