About the Role

We are hiring a Software Engineer II to help build and operate secure, reliable internal tools at Slack.

This is a highly critical and visible role, where the tools you build will be used daily by hundreds of Slack engineers and support agents. You will contribute to systems that help Slack engineers and support staff resolve issues quickly, safely, and with confidence.

As a Software Engineer II, you will work closely with senior engineers and partner teams. You’ll write high-quality, maintainable code and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence focused on reliability, observability, and security.

• Collaborate across engineering, support, and compliance teams to ensure safe and effective tooling

• Participate in team rituals, code reviews, and operational on-call support as needed

• Support the team’s documentation, testing, and engineering excellence practices

What you should have:

• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer, ideally working on internal tools or platforms

• Experience with backend development in modern programming languages such as Hack, PHP, or Python

• A security-first mindset when building tools that interact with sensitive or production data

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with cross-functional teams

• Have a passion and interest to work on systems that are highly reliable, maintainable, scalable and secure.

• Familiarity with version control, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure

Nice to have:

• Experience building tools with administrative access to production systems or sensitive data

• Familiarity with compliance, risk, or data governance workflows

• Experience with frontend technologies (e.g. React, TypeScript) is a plus

• Interest or experience with distributed systems or large-scale internal platforms

• Experience with large public cloud provider like AWS, GCP, or Azure a plus
