Principal/Lead Member of Technical Staff - AI Platform
Einstein products & platform democratizes AI and transforms the way our Salesforce Ohana
builds trusted machine learning and AI products - in days instead of months. It augments the
Salesforce Platform with the ability to easily create, deploy, and manage Generative AI and
Predictive AI applications across all clouds. We achieve this vision by providing unified,
configuration-driven, and fully orchestrated machine learning APIs, customer-facing declarative
interfaces and various microservices for the entire machine learning lifecycle including Data,
Training, Predictions/scoring, Orchestration, Model Management, Model Storage,
Experimentation etc.

We are already producing over a billion predictions per day, Training 1000s of models per day
along with 10s of different Large Language models, serving thousands of customers. We are
enabling customers' usage of leading large language models (LLMs), both internally and
externally developed, so they can leverage it in their Salesforce use cases. Along with the
power of Data Cloud, this platform provides customers an unparalleled advantage for quickly
integrating AI in their applications and processes.
We are looking for Technical leaders to help us take us to the next level, and build a platform
that scales to hundreds of thousands of customers, and hundreds of billions of predictions per
day and works on bleeding edge technologies on model training, model inferencing and
Generative AI.
