About Salesforce
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
The Experience
Salesforce AI Research is a global leader in Enterprise AI, driving innovations that advance the state of AI while powering enterprise products at worldwide scale.
Our research has helped shape multiple generations of modern AI: we helped pioneer prompt engineering through DecaNLP; introduced BLIP, a foundational breakthrough in multimodal AI; trained state-of-the-art large language models including CodeGen; and pioneered foundation models for time series with Moirai. Today, we continue to advance the frontier of enterprise AI through innovations in AI simulation environments like eVerse, our simulation and agent-training environment; the Atlas Reasoning Engine, which powers Agentforce reasoning capabilities; and other AI systems that are redefining how enterprises reason, plan, and act.
What makes our team unique is our ability to take ideas from research to real-world impact at scale. We work closely with product teams and enterprise customers to translate cutting-edge research into production AI capabilities used by millions of users. We also continue to publish at the world's top AI conferences, open source influential research, and collaborate with leading academic institutions. Learn more at Salesforce AI Research .
We are looking for entrepreneurial Research Interns for Summer 2027 who want to help build the next generation of Enterprise AI. This is not a traditional research internship. You will work like a founder within Salesforce: exploring high-impact research directions, prototyping cutting-edge AI capabilities, and seeing how ideas are validated with customers and turned into production-ready solutions. You will have the freedom to propose and explore new ideas, alongside mentors and research scientists, with access to Salesforce's global customer and product ecosystem. We are looking for people who are comfortable with ambiguity, bring energy and focus to their work, and care as much about customer adoption as technical innovation. If you want the pace and ownership of a startup, combined with the reach and resources of Salesforce, this internship offers a unique opportunity to do research with global impact.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
• Collaborate with research scientists and engineers on a project focused on real-world product impact, with the opportunity to publish your work at top-tier conferences.
• Explore research directions with the potenti
