For the last 25 years, using Salesforce meant opening a browser. That assumption ended three weeks ago at TrailblazerDX.
Salesforce announced Headless 360, and buried inside the architecture talk is something hiring managers should pay attention to. The platform now has two interfaces; one for AI, one for humans, and they look nothing alike.
AI agents don’t use a browser. They call APIs, invoke tools, run commands. They don’t navigate, they execute.
The human side is more interesting to me. What I imagine happens next is something I’d call the “ephemeral UI.” You’re in Slack. An agent builds, on-the-fly, a card-like screen. It might be a card for an approval, a renewal, or a case to close. You act on it. The card disappears. The interface is built for the task, in the moment, and then it’s gone.
This rewrites what you need in a capable Salesforce hire. The architect who spent five years mastering Lightning UI customizations is working on skills that are losing relevance quickly.
The person who understands that platform legacy, who can lead the organization through the agentic shift, and most importantly has a clear enough view of where it’s headed, becomes your MVP in the agentic age.
That person isn’t on a job board. They’re heads down doing interesting work somewhere else. That’s the part of this work I’m genuinely good at. I spend my time with the ecosystem leaders who aren’t on the market, as I’d rather know the right person before you need them.
Do you see this view as accurate or do you see it differently?
