Data Engineer (SMTS/LMTS) - Knowledge Graph & AI

Salesforce San Francisco, CA

San Francisco, CA

3mo ago Closed

$149k - $286k/yr Full time AI Data Engineer Data Engineering

This position is no longer accepting applications (closed Jul 26, 2026).

Job Description

Overview

Salesforce stands as a leader in AI powered customer relationship management, driven by teams of agents delivering customer success. We seek ambitious professionals who want to advance business and society through AI while upholding Salesforce’s core values. If you are excited about the future of AI in enterprise settings, this opportunity is for you.

The Opportunity

Salesforce is building the next generation Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform to empower AI driven experiences, agent centered applications, semantic search, enterprise data discovery, and intelligent decision making across the organization. We are hiring for both a Senior Member of Technical Staff (SMTS) and a Lead Member of Technical Staff (LMTS) to join the Enterprise Knowledge Graph and AI Engineering team.

Your Responsibilities

Design and Implement: Develop and scale the Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform components with a focus on performance, throughput, reliability, high availability, and data integrity. LMTS leads hands on design and subsystem implementation; SMTS contributes production grade code.
Graph and Ontology Engineering: Create graph data models, craft complex queries, and build scalable data pipelines to map structured and unstructured data to enterprise ontologies and taxonomies. LMTS also designs enterprise ontologies, taxonomies, semantic layers, entity resolution frameworks, graph APIs, and vector search capabilities to support advanced RAG and agentic workflows.
Semantic Routing: Develop Python based semantic routing frameworks to parse, classify, and dynamically direct incoming queries to the appropriate knowledge graph indexes or vector databases. LMTS designs, optimizes, and productionizes routing frameworks at scale, steering queries to relevant graphs, ontology subgraphs, or vector stores.
AI Tooling and Automation: Build and integrate AI powered developer tools and engineering automation platforms leveraging ecosystems such as Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, AI Agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) frameworks. LMTS also develops, deploys, and optimizes these tools and drives strategy and productionization.
Data Integration: Create scalable data pipelines and engineering patterns to ingest, transform, and orchestrate structured, unstructured, and third party data sources into graph based platforms mapped to enterprise ontologies.
Feature Ownership and Technical Execution: Own the technical delivery of specific platform features from concept through design, coding, testing, and production deployment. LMTS translates high level technical visions into concrete system blueprints, ontology schemas, and execution plans.
Code Quality and Rigor: Engage in code reviews, write comprehensive automated unit and integration tests, and uphold engineering standards and operational best practices.
Technical Mentorship: Provide technical guidance to the engineering team. SMTS mentors MTS and Associate engineers; LMTS offers day-to-day guidance, code reviews, and design direction to SMTS, MTS, and associated engineers to foster technical rigor and operational maturity.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Lead and Principal Engineers, Product Managers, and Data Engineering teams to deliver robust features aligned with enterprise AI priorities. LMTS also partners with PMTS engineers and Ontology governance boards to ensure alignment with AI infrastructure standards.
Evaluate and Innovate: Conduct deep dive evaluations of emerging graph technologies, ontology modeling tools, semantic reasoning frameworks, vector databases, and AI tooling to continuously modernize the platform.
