Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week.

If you thrive at the intersection of product, engineering, problem-solving, and client impact, this role puts you at the forefront of AI transformations. ### Work you'll do As a Senior Salesforce FDE, you will work side by side with senior functional and technical client team members to rapidly prototype and deliver high-impact GenAI-enabled solutions. This requires a highly motivated practitioner who moves with speed and precision, building working software, engaging confidently with senior stakeholders and engineers to bring measurable business impact from day one. At the core, this role is about three things: selling the art of the possible, delivering fast, and leaning into mission-critical deployments to maximize impact. Additional responsibilities include: ### Client Engagement - Embed with clients to identify business needs and translate high-value use cases into Salesforce and Agentforce-enabled solutions. - Partner with leaders, product owners, architects, and engineers to align priorities and delivery. - Lead working sessions to shape solutions and drive client outcomes. - Prototype and deliver working agentic and deterministic solutions using Salesforce capabilities on client infrastructure. - Contribute independently within an FDE pod while mentoring newer team members. - Coach client teams and end users on platform capabilities and agentic use case enablement, while building trusted relationships, managing customer expectations, and supporting long-term engagement success. - Drive end-to-end sales and delivery support by developing demos/POCs, contributing to proposals and orals, articulating business value, and identifying follow-on opportunities, then documenting solutions for smooth client handoff and knowledge transfer. - Strengthen team and organizational impact by mentoring other FDEs through design/code reviews and feedback, while contributing reusable components to intellectual capital. ### Solution Engineering - Build AI-enabled solutions, agentic platforms, and workflows across the Salesforce ecosystem, including Agentforce, Data Cloud, and the broader Customer 360 and Data 360 offerings (Missionforce/Public Sector Solutions, Agentforce, Slack, Informatica, MuleSoft, and Tableau), in support of mission-critical deployments where reliability and impact are non-negotiable. - Be fluent in Government platform cybersecurity considerations and requirements, from integration procedures (e.g., interface agreements) to FedRAMP, DoD Impact Levels, and more. - Develop scalable AI engineering patterns, tool-use approaches, and human-in-the-loop controls. - Apply architecture decisions that balance quality, safety, latency, cost, and model risk. - Deliver production-quality code built on strong practices in testing, CI/CD, logging, versioning, and documentation. - Design extensible functionality, support sprint sizing, and align solutions with senior team members. - Contribute reusable assets including code, prompt libraries, runbooks, and reference implementations. A successful candidate would possess these skills: - Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team - Effective written and verbal communication skills - Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product - Ability to build and sustain professional relationships - Ability to lead projects or workstreams - Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment - Strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor - Ability to meet deadlines - Ability to mentor and provide clear guidance to others ### The team Deloitte’s Government & Public Services (GPS) practice – our people, ideas, technology and outcomes – is designed for impact.
