Job Category Software Engineering Job Details 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. The Experience Join our Products and Technology team in Norway as a Software Engineering Architect, where you will define the technical foundation for the next generation of data platforms that power our products. This is a senior, hands-on role for an engineer who has built and shipped production systems at scale and is ready to lead platform strategy, system architecture, and engineering direction across globally distributed teams. What You'll Actually Be Doing Lead the architecture and hands-on engineering of new product data platforms — spanning data ingestion, processing, storage, APIs, and real-time delivery — while partnering with product, engineering, and infrastructure teams to translate platform strategy into production-ready systems. Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimised, and high-quality code. Design and orchestrate complex distributed systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale — including real-time, event-driven, and fault-tolerant architectures that operate reliably under scale and failure. Mentor senior engineers and technical leads through design reviews, coaching, and code reviews, while communicating complex technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders across global teams. You're Our Person If... You have 15+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant architecture responsibility for distributed systems, data platforms, real-time services, or large-scale backend infrastructure in production. You bring expert-level programming skills in Java or a comparable production-grade backend language, combined with deep experience in Linux systems engineering, performance tuning, and database concepts including storage, data modeling, indexing, and lifecycle design. A demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to engineering — using AI to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty — including experience with AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor) and advanced prompt engineering skills. Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.) Even Better If... You have experience building new data platforms from the ground up, modernising legacy systems, or working with event-driven microservices, streaming systems, or distributed processing frameworks. You have a background in machine learning platforms, Generative AI systems, cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, or platform engineering — and a track record of influencing architecture across multiple teams. Unleash Your Potential When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best. Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love. Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world.
