About the Team The Slackbot team is at the forefront of a strategic initiative to make Slack the primary interface for AI-powered work — establishing Slackbot as the on-ramp to AI and the singular gateway to a company's collective knowledge. We build the intelligent search, automation, and foundational capabilities that make Slackbot delightful, trustworthy, and performant at scale.

What You Should Have: • 10+ years of professional experience building and shipping web applications with a focus on backend development. • Proven experience with functional or imperative programming languages (e.g., PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, or C).
