Salesforce, Atlanta, Georgia, United States, 30383
Staff Software Engineer, Backend (Product) - Slack
Location: Atlanta, GA
Position: Staff Software Engineer, Backend (Product) - Slack
Job Category: Software Engineering
About The Team The Slackforce team is at the forefront of a strategic initiative to transform enterprise collaboration by
seamlessly integrating Slack and Salesforce . Our core mission is to redefine how businesses operate, making two of the world’s most widely used platforms feel like one unified, intuitive system.
Following Salesforce’s acquisition of Slack in December 2020, our work is pivotal in establishing
Slack as the primary frontend for the Salesforce platform . With Slack’s acclaimed product and friendly chat‑based interface, it is also becoming
Salesforce’s primary interface for their Agentic AI experience .
As The Central Pillar Driving This Integration, we bring the 20% of Salesforce features that users utilize 80% of the time directly into the Slack interface, empowering sellers to update account, opportunity, and deal records, and progress their sales motions directly from their flow of work in Slack. We are building Salesforce Channels, an innovative feature that links a Salesforce record (structured data) to a Slack channel (unstructured data). This enables Slack to pull structured data from Salesforce into the channel view, where users can directly edit information, trigger workflows, and automate notifications based on record updates. Check out what we are building in this video: https://salesforce.vidyard.com/watch/YjHzKRijCi9r9VYo82CVJq

Posting Statement Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non‑discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training and education.
In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
