About Slack

Slack is your Digital HQ – a place where work flows between your people, systems, partners, and customers. From Fortune 100 companies to corner markets, millions of people around the world use Slack to connect their teams, unify their systems, and drive their business forward

As a Staff engineer on this team, you'll have genuine autonomy: shaping the technical direction, making tradeoffs between performance and features, and deciding what gets built next based on user impact

You'll lead the Search and AI mobile efforts, owning the roadmap and technical strategy for two of our highest-impact user journeys—helping people find what they need and get things done on the go

This isn't about porting desktop features to mobile; it's about reimagining AI and Search for how people actually work from their phones, leveraging mobile-specific capabilities like notifications, location, and device sensors to build context-aware experiences that feel native

Mobile is a critical touchpoint for our users, and there's significant untapped potential to drive AI adoption on the platform

Candidates should have an eye for the alluring iOS design our users expect and an attention to detail down to the very last density independent pixel

They should know their way around the View hierarchy and be eager to partner with Product and Design to craft efficient, performant, and delightful user experiences

They’ll like building for the long term and value patterns and structures that allow for maximum flexibility in a constantly evolving product

What You Should Have:

At least 7+ years of mobile engineering experience with an emphasis on technical leadership in medium to large teams

A demonstrated track record of spotting issues in complex codebases and transforming them into successful, high-impact projects

An extensive understanding of iOS framework components and their respective lifecycles

Strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms and programming languages

Experience working closely with product teams, designers, and other developers to create a truly delightful mobile experience

Current and detailed knowledge of the capabilities of different iOS API levels

Experience developing highly performant Swift/Objective-C code and view layouts and the ability to diagnose performance bottlenecks

Familiarity with the iOS tool ecosystem for development, testing, debugging, and performance benchmarking

An excellent understanding of best practices for concurrency and threading

Bonus Points

Experience using Slack and a keen interest in making it better

Experience with SwiftUI, Combine, or async/await

A passion for building and maintaining great open source projects or otherwise contributing to the iOS community
