We are looking for people who are passionate about building strong, sustainable infrastructure for the Slack android client.

Slack on android is used by millions of people every week.

You demonstrate exceptional ownership of not only the area of your team, but across Slack’s entire android codebase. You have a “can do” demeanor and nothing is beneath you or outside your responsibilities because you do what it takes to deliver the highest quality code and the most impactful features. You are self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You love to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
