CRM & Industry Workflows is where the company is investing to win, and agentic AI is at the center of that bet — reshaping how customers run sales automation, CPQ, customer service, and field service. As Principal Forward Deployed Engineer, you are the lead architect for the FDE group within CRM & Industry Engineering: the person who turns that ambition into working solutions in front of real customers.
