Salesforce is hiring a Data & Integration Specialist (DIS) to join our Global Public Sector Solution Engineering team. The AI revolution is a Data evolution and this critical role is at the forefront of making AI a reality for our customers. As a DIS, you are more than a technical expert; you are a strategic architectural partner who consolidates expertise across Mule Soft (Integration), Tableau (Analytics), and Data 360 (Unified Data Management) to solve the most complex data challenges in government.

You will serve as the single point of contact for sales teams, ensuring every data opportunity is handled by a specialist who thinks like an architect and communicates outcomes and impacts in the voice of the business user. You will be a vital contributor to the success of our agency customers by conducting holistic discovery, reframing the "data journey," and designing compliant, AI-ready architectures that deliver actionable insights from disparate silos.

In this role, you will work with Federal Civilian agencies and bridge the gap between legacy system connectivity and modern mission outcomes, acting as a trusted advisor who can navigate everything from API management to real‑time data unification and advanced analytics.

• Strategic Communication:
  Excellent ability to reframe technical challenges into business value for C‑level government executives and technical stakeholders alike.
• AI Readiness:
  Understanding of the value of "Trusted Context Foundations" for AI, including data grounding, RAG (Retrieval‑Augmented Generation), and metadata intelligence.
• Collaboration & Influence:
  Proven ability to partner early with Account Executives to drive sales strategy and lead "Data Discovery" from day one.
• Experience:
