The Cloud Engineering team builds the core platform upon which Slack is deployed. Our toolset is varied. We work with open-source technologies like Chef and Terraform, cloud providers such as AWS and GCP, and write software using a combination of Go and Python.
Some of the problems that our team thinks about:

Your responsibilities may include:
- Building a new capability into our platform.
- Participating in the team on-call rotation, triaging and addressing production issues as they arise.
- Adding more automation to enable the platform to auto heal without manual intervention.

- You are a strong communicator. You can explain complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers.
- You enjoy helping onboard new team members, mentoring, and teaching.
- You are able to model best practices for unit tests, code review, design documentation, debugging, and troubleshooting.
- You have curiosity about how things work.
