AI Labs Rotational Fellowship, Emerging Talent

About the Role

Salesforce AI Labs is seeking exceptional emerging AI and computer science talent for a highly selective, 24-month rotational fellowship designed to develop the next generation of AI builders. Fellows will tackle real technical and customer challenges, build with frontier AI technologies, and ship solutions into production at enterprise scale. You’ll work alongside experienced researchers, engineers, and technical leaders, with access to AI-native development tools and large scale compute resources, while taking meaningful ownership of your work.

The fellowship comprises four six-month rotations:

• Build (Product Engineering): Design, build, and ship AI-powered products, developing deep technical expertise in production-scale engineering.
• Shape (Product Management): Translate customer needs into product strategy, define priorities, and shape the next generation of AI products.
• Deliver (FDE / Builders): Work directly with customers to develop and deploy AI solutions that solve real-world business challenges.
• Transform (DET / Customer Zero): Reimagine enterprise workflows and operations, leveraging AI to drive transformation at scale.

Upon successful completion, Fellows will transition into high-impact AI teams across Salesforce.
