You'll lead technical delivery on your team, mentor the next wave of engineers, and set the engineering standards that define how agentic AI gets deployed at scale. Partnering closely with a Deployment Strategist (Strategic Builder - a customer-facing advisor who shapes AI strategy and drives adoption), you'll own outcomes end-to-end, from architecture decision to production. Your passion for well-crafted software that solves real problems will be supported by best-in-class AI tools and a team of talented builders around you. /ph3Senior Builder Experience /h3ulliTechnical Ownership: Partner with a Deployment Strategist to own customer outcomes end-to-end. You're the senior technical authority in the room, ensuring deliverables meet the highest engineering standards, whether it was generated by an AI tool by a colleague or written by you directly. /liliAI-Supported Engineering: Cursor, Claude, and Salesforce coding products like Vibes are embedded in your daily workflow. The conventions and patterns you develop tend to propagate through the team because other Builders look to your work as reference. /liliRoadmap Influence: Your field experience routes directly to Product and Engineering.

These problems are routed to you because of your track record of solving them. /liliBuild and maintain agent performance dashboards and customer KPI reporting to track deployment health and business outcomes across engagements. /liliDevelop proofs-of-concept and MVPs quickly, with the judgment to know which decisions can be deferred and which need to be right the first time. /liliCodify what you learn. The patterns, reusable assets, and internal frameworks that come out of your real customer work become the playbooks the rest of the org draws from. /liliMentor other Engineers through code reviews, pair sessions, and shared work. Most of your influence on developing engineers happens inside the same codebases you're building in. /liliProvide technical depth on at-risk or strategically critical deployments when senior engineering judgment is needed. /liliSurface field insights directly to Product and Engineering.
