Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Salesforce Data Cloud Engineer to support the design, implementation, and optimization of a unified customer data platform. This role is focused on building and enabling identity resolution, data modeling, and activation capabilities within Salesforce Data Cloud (Data 360).

This is not an architecture-only role. The ideal candidate will have direct, hands-on experience ( hands-on keyboard ) working within Salesforce Data Cloud and be able to clearly articulate and demonstrate real-world implementations from data ingestion through activation.

You will partner closely with engineering, marketing, and CRM teams to enable high-quality, unified customer profiles and activate those profiles across downstream platforms.

Required Hands-On Salesforce Data Cloud Experience

Candidates must have real-world, hands-on experience working within Salesforce Data Cloud (Data 360). This includes:

• Configuring and managing data ingestion pipelines
• Building and maintaining Data Model Objects (DMOs) and Data Graphs
• Implementing identity resolution strategies (deterministic and probabilistic matching)
• Enabling activation workflows and downstream data usage
• Working directly within the platform to configure calculations, segmentation, and activation pipelines

Candidates must be able to walk through end-to-end implementations, not just describe concepts.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and optimize Salesforce Data Cloud pipelines and data models
• Implement and manage identity resolution processes, including matching rules and unified profile creation
• Configure and maintain:
  • Data Model Objects (DMOs)
  • Data Graphs
  • Calculated Insights
• Develop and support segmentation and activation workflows across Marketing Cloud, CRM, and external platforms
• Enable and optimize Salesforce Data Cloud capabilities beyond ingestion, including activation and downstream use cases
• Ensure data quality, consistency, and governance across all stages of the data lifecycle
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into scalable Data Cloud solutions
• Support ongoing enhancements and optimization of the customer data platform

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, CDP, or CRM platforms
• 2+ years of hands-on Salesforce Data Cloud (Data 360) experience strongly preferred
• Proven experience working with:
  • Data Model Objects (DMOs)
  • Data Graphs
  • Identity resolution frameworks
  • Segmentation and activation workflows
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with large-scale datasets
• Experience with data ingestion, transformation, and modeling workflows
• Understanding of customer data platforms (CDP) and master data management (MDM) concepts
• Experience integrating and activating data across downstream systems (Marketing Cloud, CRM, etc.)
• Ability to clearly explain technical implementations and design decisions

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with streaming or event-driven data pipelines (Kafka, Kinesis, etc.)
• Experience with data warehouse platforms (e.g., Amazon Redshift, Snowflake)
• Experience with Python, dbt, or similar tools
• Experience with Reverse ETL or customer data activation tools
• Exposure to Salesforce ecosystem tools (Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud, etc.)

What Strong Candidates Will Demonstrate

• Ability to clearly explain how unified customer profiles are created and leveraged
• Deep understanding of identity resolution and post-resolution processes
• Experience implementing end-to-end Data Cloud solutions (ingestion resolution activation)
• Ability to discuss real-world challenges and how they were solved
• Strong understanding of how Salesforce Data Cloud capabilities are configured and used in practice

Candidates Will Not Be Considered If They

• Only have conceptual or theoretical knowledge of Salesforce Data Cloud
• Cannot explain what happens after identity resolution
• Lack hands-on experience with:
  • Activation workflows
  • Platform configuration
  • Data Cloud implementation
• Primarily have generic data engineering or MDM experience without Salesforce Data Cloud exposure

Work Environment

• Highly collaborative team with frequent working sessions and real-time problem solving
• Fast-paced environment focused on delivering scalable data solutions
• Remote candidates must be available during core Central Time working hours

Why This Role Matters

This role is critical to advancing the organization s ability to build and activate unified customer profiles, enabling more effective marketing, analytics, and customer engagement strategies.
