Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and were looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforces core values at the heart of it all.Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.About the Team The Slackforce team is at the forefront of a strategic initiative to transform enterprise collaboration by seamlessly integrating Slack and Salesforce. Our core mission is to redefine how businesses operate, making two of the world’s most widely used platforms feel like one unified, intuitive system. Following Salesforces acquisition of Slack in December 2020, our work is pivotal in establishing Slack as the primary frontend for the Salesforce platform. With Slacks acclaimed product and friendly chat-based interface, it is also becoming Salesforce’s primary interface for their Agentic AI experience. As the central pillar driving this integration, we build the connective tissue that brings Salesforce data and workflows directly into Slack, while embedding Slack conversations directly within the Salesforce UI. Our focus is on delivering deeply user-centric product experiences:<ul><li>We bring the 20% of Salesforce features that users utilize 80% of the time directly into the Slack interface, empowering sellers to update account, opportunity, and deal records, and progress their sales motions directly from their flow of work in Slack.</li><li>We are building Salesforce Channels, an innovative feature that links a Salesforce record (structured data) to a Slack channel (unstructured data). This enables Slack to pull structured data from Salesforce into the channel view, where users can directly edit information, trigger workflows, and automate notifications based on record updates. Check out what we are building in this video: <a href="https://salesforce.vidyard.com/watch/YjHzKRijCi9r9VYo82CVJq" target="_blank">https://salesforce.vidyard.com/watch/YjHzKRijCi9r9VYo82CVJq</a></li></ul> We are a team of product engineers who deeply care about the user experience. We are seeking product-driven backend engineers with strong intuition and experience who build systems and design APIs with the end user in mind. Our ideal candidates are collaborative, partnering closely with product managers, designers, and frontend/mobile engineers to conceptualize and build new features. You will be instrumental in designing and owning systems and APIs that directly shape Slack’s product experience, ensuring they are scalable, performant, and precisely tailored to real user needs, while making smart trade-offs between speed, cost, and user experience. We value engineers who understand that simplicity and reliability are carefully calculated aspects of system design. 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.
