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. What’s the opportunity? We’re hiring an Engineering Manager for our Product Workstreams in the AI Group. The AI Group’s product workstreams, partner with the wider product org to build the AI capabilities that underpin Fin. These workstreams do not act as ‘AI services’ for the wider org; they are instrumental in shaping AI products from the earliest stages and owning their ongoing development. Product workstreams are composed of EMs, PMs, Engineers, AI Designers, and Machine Learning Scientists. You will lead our Berlin-based product engineers in the AI Group and will be a key leader of our Berlin hub, helping it grow. You will also work across Fin's core capabilities, such as Skills, Personalisation, Procedures and Safety, and contribute directly to delivering new Fin products from inception. This is a hands-on EM role. You will lead a senior team of engineers and stay hands-on in the codebase. An EM who regularly works alongside ICs builds the context to make good strategic decisions and to support engineers well. Contributing to Fin’s central AI system, architecture and experimentation are core to the job. Learn more about Fin's AI engineering and research at Fin /research, and more about Fin at fin.ai.

Build shared skills, agents, and automations that raise the bar for the team’s output and ambition. • Hire and onboard great engineers, and help them build the Berlin office. What skills do I need?
