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.

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’re a collaborative team who genuinely enjoys working together with a cross-functional team of product managers, designers, frontend, iOS, Android, automation, and quality 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. We are specifically looking for Staff level Backend engineers to join our Purchase Experience and our Application Architecture and System (ArchSys) teams! The Purchase Experience team is hiring a Staff Backend Engineer! The purchase experience teams own the entirety of our home-grown self-serve billing architecture. This team commonly works on large, cross-functional projects and features, assisting in the delivery of new products to our customers. We also own the plans page, checkout page, and admin billing page, where we do experimentation to improve customer experiences and grow Slack ACV. What You Will Be Doing You'll brainstorm with Product Managers, Designers, Backend, and Frontend Engineers on your team to conceptualize and build new features for our large (and growing!) user base. You’ll produce high-quality results by contributing heavily to team projects that have a significant impact on the business. You’ll actively own team 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 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 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 solid computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, programming languages, distributed systems, and information retrieval.
