Software Engineer, Site Reliability

The Interoperability team in Slack makes using productivity tools in Slack a much more pleasant and valuable experience for all our users. The team evolves to meet the various changing demands of Slack’s ever growing business and we’re on the lookout for new engineers to join the team.

The Interop SRE group is a small team embedded in the Interop(-erability) team that supports the day to day operation of services and also acts as an advisor to all the engineers for making the services more reliable. We are a team based entirely out of the India time zone, with some team members working from the Pune office, and some working remotely. We work with the underlying infrastructure teams as well as various product engineers to deploy services in Slack’s ecosystem of Kubernetes, Nebula, Envoy and Vitess. We drive the performance and operability of these services, and often act as first consumers of the latest infrastructure technologies at Slack.

Slack has transformed business communication. It’s the leading channel-based messaging platform, used by millions to align their teams, unify their systems, and drive their businesses forward. Only Slack offers a secure, enterprise-grade environment that can scale with the largest companies in the world. It is a new layer of the business technology stack where people can work together more effectively, connect all their other software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work. Slack is where work happens.

Ensuring a diverse and inclusive workplace where we learn from each other is core to Slack’s values. We welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer and a pleasant and supportive place to work.
