About Salesforce
We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

Slack is looking for a Fullstack Software Engineer II to design and build features end to end and improve the performance and reliability of our systems at Slack to enable and help our largest and most engaged customers to collaborate and drive their business needs using Slack.

We build our app using reliable tools that our team knows and trusts, including Typescript/Javascript, React, Redux, PHP/Hack, Java, MySQL, and Linux. Expertise in these areas is a huge plus, but having familiarity with other common web languages (such as Java or Ruby) and distributed engineering concepts are fine substitutes. We’re a collaborative team who genuinely enjoys working together with a cross-functional team of product managers, backend engineers, and full stack engineers to make Slack a better product. We are looking for engineers that understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made.

What You Will Be Doing

• You'll work in an ambiguous environment with a cross-functional team that consists of Product Management, Design and Engineering to conceptualize and build new features for our customers.
• You’ll find creative and innovative ways to solve customer problems while balancing system maintainability, producing high quality results that have significant impact on our customers and Slack’s business.
• You’ll actively own features or systems and define their long-term health, while also improving the health of surrounding systems.
• You'll assist our skilled support team and operations team in triaging and resolving customer-facing production issues.
• You'll mentor other engineers and deeply review code.
• You’ll improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.

What You Should Have

• You’ve been building web applications professionally for 4+ years.
• You have experience with functional or imperative programming languages -- e.g., PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, C, or Java.
• You have experience in building complex layouts with CSS and HTML as well as some background in Javascript and modern browser technologies.
• You have strong UX and design sensibilities, and a desire to sweat the small stuff.
• You can contribute to technical architecture discussions and help drive technical decisions within your team.
• You write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability.
• You are a strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers is no problem for you.
• You possess strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, programming languages, distributed systems, and information retrieval.
• You have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience.
