Software Engineering

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. 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 we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's 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.

At Slack, data isn't just infrastructure — it's the engine behind every great enterprise decision. Our Data Engineering team builds the products and pipelines that power our largest customers, delivering the metrics and insights that drive how they work. We operate at massive scale, transforming billions of records into actionable intelligence, and we're looking for talented engineers to help us do it even better.

As a Data Engineer on the Enterprise team, you'll partner cross-functionally with business stakeholders, analytics teams, and backend engineers to design, build, and scale both batch and real-time data pipelines. You'll contribute directly to initiatives that support key decision-makers within our enterprise customer base — helping them understand adoption, engagement, and the health of their Slack deployments.

You'll also be a core contributor to Gov Slack, our cross-team initiative to establish feature parity for U.S. government agencies and highly regulated organizations. This is high-visibility, high-impact work that matters beyond the product — it supports national infrastructure.

We're looking for passionate, detail-oriented engineers who are excited about building a rock-solid data foundation and making a real impact at one of the world's most widely used collaboration platforms.

• Translate complex business requirements into scalable, reusable data models that are easy to understand and adopted across subject areas
• Design, implement, and maintain data pipelines that deliver high-quality data under defined SLAs
• Partner with product, analytics, and engineering teams to build trusted, well-documented foundational datasets aligned with business strategy
• Champion data strategy across multiple teams and use cases, driving consistency and reliability at scale
• Expand access to core company metrics through strong technical and process foundations
• Identify, document, and promote data engineering best practices across Slack

• 5+ years of experience in data architecture, data modeling, master data management, or metadata management
• Hands-on expertise with relational modeling approaches — including columnar, star schema, snowflake, and dimensional modeling
• Proven track record optimizing schemas, tuning SQL, and scaling ETL pipelines in OLAP and data warehouse environments
• Experience with Airflow or a comparable workflow orchestration platform for data pipeline management
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL
• Familiarity with data governance frameworks, SDLC, and Agile methodologies
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to partner effectively across technical and business teams
• U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, willing to undergo a background check for Gov Slack authorization

• Hands-on experience with Spark SQL, AWS (S3, EMR), Apache Pinot, or Hadoop/Big Data ecosystems
• Experience with Flink or other real-time stream processing frameworks
• Proficiency in Scala
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience with No
