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 Salesforce’s acquisition of Slack in December 2020, our work is pivotal in establishing Slack as the primary frontend for the Salesforce platform
. With Slack’s 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 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. 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:

• You’ll brainstorm with Product Managers, Designers, Backend, and Frontend Engineers on your team to conceptualize and build new features for our large (and growing!) user base.
• You’ll produce high‑quality results by contributing heavily to team projects that have a significant impact on the business.
• You’ll actively own team features or systems and define their long‑term health, while also improving the health of surrounding systems.
• You’ll assist our skilled support team and operations team in triaging and resolving production issues.
• You’ll mentor other engineers and deeply review code.
• You’ll improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.

• You’ve been building web applications professionally for 10+ years.
• You have experience with functional or imperative programming languages — e.g., PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, or
  
  C.
• You can contribute to technical architecture discussions and help drive technical decisions within your team.
• You write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability.
• Experience around product development and contributing towards end‑user features.
• You are a strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers is no problem for you.

When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best
, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best
. Together, we’ll bring the power of Agentforce to organizations of all sizes and deliver amazing experiences that customers love.
