Salesforce is looking to transform enterprise knowledge retrieval and collaboration by establishing Slack as the singular gateway to a company's collective knowledge through a unified, AI-powered search experience.

- Proven experience with functional or imperative programming languages (e.g., PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, or C). Expertise in our stack—PHP/Hack, Java, MySQL, and Linux—is a strong plus, but general familiarity with other common web languages and relational databases is a fine substitute.

- Solid computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, programming languages, distributed systems, and information retrieval.

- Contribute heavily to team projects that have a significant, measurable impact on the business and the user experience.
- Actively own team features or core systems, defining their long-term health and roadmap while improving the health of surrounding integration systems.
- Assist our skilled support and operations teams in triaging and resolving complex production issues.
- Mentor other engineers, provide thoughtful and deep code reviews, and drive improvements in engineering standards, tooling, and processes across the team.
Other
- A related technical degree (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, etc.) is required.
- Strong Communication Skills: You can clearly explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, including designers, support, and product managers.
