Slack

(Senior) Frontend Engineer - Search, Learning & Intelligence

The Search, Learning, & Intelligence (SLI) team at Slack is looking for experienced frontend engineers to help build features that make Slack smarter the more companies use it. Our goal is to help users feel less overwhelmed by Slack’s information avalanche and give them superpowers to find fast answers — whether from their coworkers, search, or bots.  We’re hiring engineers to help us build scalable, reliable data-driven product features and the services and infrastructure that back them.

We are also very nice people and happy to help you learn what you need to know to work at Slack.

The work will span your extensive knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to improve the Slack web client, a complex in-browser application relied upon by millions of users every day. You will work with real-time data streams, engineer for performance across browsers, and delight people by making the best software we can imagine. You will collaborate closely with Product, Design, SLI Engineers, and QA to spec, build, test and deploy new features.
