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. Trailhead is the engine powering the next generation of digital learning, and we are looking for a Lead Member of Technical Staff (LMTS) to guide the team building the biggest shift in software since the cloud. We are currently mobilizing our community as a force multiplier for the Agentblazer movement—a global effort to equip leaders and early adopters with the skills needed to navigate an AI-driven world. In this role, you will lead a distributed, collaborative team of engineers dedicated to scaling this learning ecosystem exponentially. You will be responsible for fostering a culture of transparent communication, high-quality code reviews, and continuous feedback, ensuring that Trailhead remains the most engaging and effective way for our customers and partners to learn. Technically, you will guide the evolution of our platform as we blend our core stack with Salesforce’s latest innovations.
