Salesforce is looking for a candidate to build and operate foundational systems that manage how services are deployed, operated, and monitored across Slack's infrastructure, aiming to create a unified, automated, and scalable platform that enables engineering teams to deliver reliable and compliant services with speed and confidence.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering fundamentals—you write clean, maintainable code and design systems that scale. You bring engineering rigor to platform and infrastructure work.
- A strong grasp of reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency, especially in the context of deploying and managing distributed systems.
- Solid experience operating backend systems in production—you can point to tools, workflows, or platforms you’ve helped build or scale.
- Hands-on experience with AWS—you’re comfortable navigating complex environments and have depth in at least a few core services.
- Experience building infrastructure as code using tools like Terraform, with a preference for reusable and maintainable abstractions.
- Deep knowledge of specific AWS domains such as IAM, EC2, or networking.
- Experience building or maintaining platforms that support high-scale CI/CD, service orchestration, or incident automation.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end delivery of software projects that improve how services are deployed, managed, and observed across Slack’s infrastructure.
- Design and build foundational orchestration systems that enable reliable, scalable, and compliant service operations.
- Develop tools that streamline continuous delivery, automate incident workflows, and track service health and reliability metrics.
- Implement platform solutions using infrastructure-as-code, automation frameworks, and AWS-native services to drive consistency and scalability.
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams to integrate platform capabilities into their workflows—empowering them to ship faster and operate more reliably.
- Contribute to and extend internal frameworks that support deployment workflows, service ownership, and lifecycle management.
- Advocate for platform efficiency and cost-conscious engineering through tooling, automation, and cross-team engagement.
Other
- Curiosity and a systems mindset—you're deeply interested in how platform layers and infrastructure orchestration work, and you enjoy sharing that knowledge to uplift those around you.
- A collaborative, mentoring mindset—you model engineering best practices around testing, design, documentation, and operational excellence.
- A passion for creating platform solutions that empower engineering teams to move faster, be more reliable, and operate with confidence.
- A pragmatic approach to problem-solving, with a drive to automate and simplify operations at scale
- Demonstrated success in reducing cloud costs or improving platform efficiency through tooling or automation.
