Role
Who you are
- We build our app using reliable tools that our team knows and trusts, including PHP/Hack, Java, MySQL, and Linux. Expertise in these areas is a huge plus, but having familiarity with other common web languages (such as Python or Ruby) and other relational databases are fine substitutes
- We are looking for engineers that understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made
- You’ve been building web applications professionally for 12+ years
- You have experience with functional or imperative programming languages -- e.g., PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, C, or Java
- You can own technical architecture discussions and lead technical decisions for an engineering organization
- You write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability
- You are an excellent communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to senior leadership 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 a related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience
What the job involves
- Slack is looking for Senior Staff Backend Engineer for the Core Product team to build features, design and implement API methods, and improve the performance and reliability of our systems as we rapidly scale our product and organization
- We have backend engineers in almost every team across Slack, and in that role, you’ll be making some of the most significant decisions for the company
- You’ll lead technical strategy and efforts for broad or complex requirements with insightful and forward-looking approaches that have an impact on an entire engineering function and solve large open-ended problems
- You’ll set the vision for strategic development of methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for projects and programs across the engineering organization
- You’ll direct and guide the efforts of a pillar or functional group through delegation to senior technical leaders
- You'll proactively identify and remedy communication gaps and issues to reach alignments for complex issues across diverse audience and influence organizational goals and strategy
- You’ll actively own features or systems and define their long-term health, while also improving the health of surrounding systems
- You'll train engineers for incident response and command
- You'll be a trusted coach and mentor, actively building new leaders at Slack through continuous feedback
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.
