What the job involves
- Slack's Security Engineering team is seeking an accomplished Staff Software Engineer to architect the future of our internal identity and access fabric
- This is not an operations role; this is a software engineering role with a security focus
- You will be a technical leader responsible for designing, building, and delivering the critical, highly-available services that protect Slack's core infrastructure and empower our employees
- You will write code, design distributed systems, and set the long-term technical vision for how identity is managed at a global scale
- Architect and Build: Lead the design and hands-on development of scalable, resilient, and secure Identity and Access Management (IAM) services from the ground up using languages like Go, Python, and Java
- Drive Technical Strategy: Define the long-term technical roadmap for the identity platform at Slack
- Lead complex build-vs-buy analyses and own the architecture for integrating third-party systems (Okta, SailPoint, AWS IAM) via robust, well-documented APIs and event-driven services
- Lead Cross-Functional Initiatives: Serve as the technical authority on large-scale projects, including the strategic initiative to engineer a unified identity fabric between Slack and Salesforce
- You will influence technical direction across multiple organizations
- Engineer for Scale & Reliability: Design and implement mission-critical distributed systems on AWS
- Instrument these services with advanced monitoring, observability, and alerting to guarantee service-level objectives (SLOs)
- Develop Sophisticated Automation: Go beyond simple scripting
- Architect and build automation frameworks and services to eliminate manual toil, reduce risk, and enable secure, self-service access control across the enterprise
- Mentor and Elevate: Act as a force multiplier for the team and the broader engineering organization
- Mentor senior and junior engineers, establish best practices for secure software development, and lead by example through high-quality code contributions and design reviews
Our take
Salesforce is a global cloud computing company, best known for its on-demand, comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The company was launched to mitigate the doubts that business owners felt regarding third party companies holding their data.
By providing essential, customer-oriented CRM software, Salesforce places itself at the heart of digitised businesses. Furthermore, by building out its AI capabilities, the company removes the complexity of AI, enabling any business to deliver smarter, personalised and more predictive customer experiences.
Due to the continued innovation offered by the company, over 150,000 companies, both big and small, are growing their business with Salesforce today. Despite a tumultuous 2023 filled with activist investors, a boardroom shake-up and the unprecedented step-down of Co-CEO Bret Taylor, Salesforce continues to close several acquisition deals and managed to drive up its stock value by 96% from the end of 2022 to 2023.
