Overview Slack is seeking a visionary Principal Member of Technical Staff to architect and unify the future of our Source Control Management (SCM) and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) systems. This role empowers hundreds of Slack engineers by building and managing the foundational systems they use every day to ship code to millions of users. We work with a stack that includes AWS, Terraform, Chef, Ansible, Go, and Python, and teams focus on both hybrid cloud and on-premise environments.
What you will be doing
Define and drive a unified technical vision and long-term strategy for SCM and CI/CD infrastructure across Slack.
Architect and lead the implementation of scalable, observable, and resilient infrastructure in a hybrid AWS/on-premise environment using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Chef, Ansible).
Harmonize CI fleets across Linux, macOS, and Windows to drive shared standards, tooling, and observability (KPIs).
Pioneer the integration of AI/ML technologies into CI/CD pipelines to enhance developer productivity and automate complex workflows.
Act as a technical leader and mentor, fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
Lead complex, cross-functional projects from conception to completion, aligning with company-wide objectives and engaging stakeholders.
Improve and maintain existing services while balancing forward-looking work with operational excellence to keep developers productive.
Participate in on-call rotation to ensure reliability of critical developer-facing systems.
Experience / Qualifications
Extensive experience (10+ years for Staff) in a DevOps, Infrastructure, or Site Reliability Engineering role with a track record of architecting and managing large-scale systems across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure (AWS) and IaC tools such as Terraform, Chef, or Ansible.
Experience managing and scaling Source Control Management systems (GitHub Enterprise or similar) is highly desirable.
Proficiency in Go, Python, or Bash.
Hands-on experience with modern CI/CD systems (Buildkite, GitHub Actions, CircleCI) and a passion for improving developer workflows.
Interest in applying AI/ML to developer tooling and infrastructure challenges.
Strong leadership and communication skills; ability to mentor engineers, drive consensus, and articulate a clear technical vision.
Pragmatic problem-solving, comfort in ambiguity, and bias for action in a fast-paced environment.
Benefits & Accommodations We offer a range of benefits to support work-life balance, including time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchase program.
