Salesforce is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Desktop team within Slack's Architecture and Systems organization. You will be responsible for the desktop framework underpinning the Slack desktop client across all platforms, playing a key role in the Electron project and focusing on OS-level stability, security, and long-term code maintainability.

What You'll Do

Lead efforts across Electron to ensure OS level stability, security, and code maintainability.
Lead cross functional desktop initiatives at Slack associated with increasing developer productivity, performance, or security alongside desktop and frontend stakeholders.
Maintain and improve the core systems that power the Slack desktop client and Electron framework, including Slack and Electron-based infrastructure and tooling.
Contribute to key architectural decisions to adapt existing frontend and desktop infrastructure to support new product features.
Proactively identify and remedy communication gaps and issues to reach alignments for complex issues across diverse internal and external audiences and influence organizational goals and strategy.

What We're Looking For

Deep Chromium experience.
Deep working experience in Node.js and the underlying V8 Javascript engine.
Experience working with performance profiling and debugging tools for web based desktop applications.
Familiarity with desktop development, along with the ability to understand and explain technical trade-offs and complexities of web based desktop applications.
Experience writing understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability and scalability.
Eagerness to learn, but similar excitement to teach.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, equally comfortable communicating with your immediate team, other frontend engineers, or even backend infrastructure engineers.
Understanding that the perfect solution is informed by the people who will be building on your work, rather than being purely dependent on technical merits.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience.

Nice to Have

Experience working with large scale open source projects (and having contributed to some is a big plus.)
