Cherokee Federal is seeking a Salesforce QA Tester to support a federal Agentforce initiative, delivering AI agent capabilities on the Salesforce Public Sector Solutions platform. This role is responsible for developing and executing test plans; testing Agentforce agents, including topic and action routing and grounded prompt output; validating supporting Salesforce configuration and custom development (Flow, Apex, LWC, SOQL); testing integrations; managing defects; and ensuring quality across Agile releases. Ideal candidates have hands-on Salesforce QA experience, exposure to testing AI or agent-based systems, knowledge of Salesforce automation and integrations, experience with Jira or Azure DevOps, and the ability to support testing in a regulated federal environment. Compensation & Benefits Estimated Starting Salary Range for Salesforce QA - Agentforce: $100,000-120,000 Pay commensurate with experience. Full-time benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, and other possible benefits as provided. Benefits are subject to change with or without notice.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scripts across Salesforce configuration, customization, and integration work throughout the release lifecycle.

• Work with government leads and Product Owners to understand acceptance criteria, clarify testing scope, and confirm release timing for new enhancement requests.

• Perform functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, and user acceptance testing (UAT) support across sprints and Salesforce releases.

• Validate declarative configuration and automation, including Flow (record-triggered, screen flows, scheduled flows), approvals, validation rules, page layouts, and Lightning App Builder, ensuring intended behavior and operational accuracy.

• Test custom development, including Apex, Lightning Web Components, and triggers, and perform backend validation using SOQL as needed.

• Validate integrations between Salesforce and external systems (e.g., MuleSoft, REST/SOAP APIs, middleware), confirming data integrity across systems.

• Test Agentforce agents, validating that natural-language utterances select the correct topic and invoke the correct action (Apex action, Flow, or prompt template), including near-miss utterances that should not trigger an action.

• Validate prompt templates built in Prompt Builder for accuracy and proper grounding in source data (e.g., Data Cloud); test for hallucinated, incomplete, or off-topic responses.

• Test agent guardrails and scope adherence, confirming agents decline out-of-scope requests and do not surface data outside authorized boundaries.

• Design and execute agent test cases using Agentforce Testing Center, including batch evaluation against expected outcomes and multi-turn conversation flows.

• Establish evaluation criteria for non-deterministic outputs (grounding, accuracy, completeness) rather than relying solely on exact-match assertions.

• Log, track, and manage defects through resolution using tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps; clearly document reproduction steps, severity, and expected versus actual results.

• Verify data integrity and reporting/dashboard accuracy, including exception paths and operational reporting needs.

• Support Salesforce Public Sector Solutions activities, including release readiness, deployment validation across sandboxes and production, and post-release stabilization.

• Ensure test coverage and QA practices are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with governance, auditability, and compliance expectations in a regulated environment.

• Present formal and informal oral and written briefings to government managers; produce executive-ready test summaries, defect reports, and quality status updates.

• Perform other job-related duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree with preferred study in Computer Science, Information Science, Information Systems Management, Math, Statistics, Operations Research, or Engineering and a minimum of four (4) years of experience. Six (6) years of work experience in a related field may be substituted for education.

• Demonstrated experience performing QA and testing in an Agile delivery environment, including test planning, test case development, and defect management.

• Proven ability to design and execute test cases from user stories and acceptance criteria, including exception paths.

• Hands-on experience testing Salesforce applications, including declarative configuration and automation such as Salesforce Flow.

• Experience validating custom development (Apex, Lightning Web Components, triggers) and performing backend validation using SOQL.

• Experience testing Salesforce integrations with external systems (e.g., MuleSoft, REST/SOAP APIs).

• Experience with defect-tracking and test-management tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail).

• U.S. Citizenship is required.

• Must pass pre-employment qualifications of Cherokee Federal.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience testing Agentforce agents or other conversational AI / LLM-based systems.

• Familiarity with Agentforce Testing Center, Prompt Builder, and Data Cloud grounding.

• Working understanding on how to test non-deterministic AI output (grounding, hallucination, evaluation methodology).

Key Skills

• Strong written and verbal communication, including producing executive-ready test summaries and briefing senior government stakeholders.

• Precise defect documentation: clear reproduction steps, severity, and expected versus actual results.

• Direct collaboration with Product Owners and government leads to clarify acceptance criteria and testing scope.
