AI Labs Rotational Fellowship, Emerging Talent

Build at enterprise scale. Launch like a founder.

Salesforce AI Labs is seeking exceptional emerging AI and computer science talent for our highly selective, 24-month rotational fellowship designed to develop the next generation of AI builders.

Across four six-month rotations, 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 what you build.

As a Fellow, you’ll gain hands-on experience across four distinct dimensions of the AI lifecycle, rotating through:

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.

The rotational model will give you exposure to different AI teams, technologies, and problems while building the technical depth, adaptability, and product mindset needed to become an AI leader. Upon successful completion of the fellowship, Fellows will transition into high-impact AI teams across Salesforce.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
