Description For Sr. Software Engineer, Platform Orchestration - Slack

Slack, a Salesforce company, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their Platform Orchestration team. This role is crucial in building and operating foundational systems that manage service deployment, operations, and monitoring across Slack's infrastructure. The team focuses on creating a unified, automated, and scalable platform that enables engineering teams to deliver reliable and compliant services efficiently.

They should have a proven track record of operating backend systems in production and a passion for creating platform solutions that empower engineering teams.
