Build the infrastructure powering work!
For millions of people, Slack is the primary communication tool they use at work all day long. They expect it to be exceptionally reliable and fast, all the time.
Core Infrastructure at SlackWe operate at tremendous scale with systems that process millions of events per second. Teams in our group maintain and build the lower levels of our stack, including:
Slack's API and web backend is built on PHP/Hack, our backend services are written in Java and Go, and we use Vitess as our storage engine. Our architecture is constantly evolving to handle millions more users. You can read about how we scaled our datastores with Vitess, how we respond to incidents, and much more on our blog.
If you were to join Slack, here are the types of things you would do over the course of a typical week:
Operate and enhance our large, highly-available database infrastructure, utilizing technologies such as MySQL and Vitess.
Develop tools to enable self-service and self-managing capabilities of our database infrastructure so that other teams can operate full-stack while rapidly building new features for our customers.
Collaborate with engineering teams on their database storage needs, and advise them throughout the development lifecycle.
Write code to capture database performance, and create tools and dashboards to provide actionable insight into that data.
Participate in our on-call rotation and collaborate with our operations team to triage and resolve production issues.

Have experience working with distributed data storage systems, at scale and in a team environment. Some examples include: a relational database like MySQL/Postgres, or systems like Kafka, Cassandra, or ElasticSearch.
Deployed server software on Linux, and then operated it at scale. You’ve debugged its problems, and analyzed and optimized its performance.
Have experience operating cloud infrastructure, especially AWS.Are familiar with deployment automation/configuration management tools like Chef, Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet.
You're excited to learn new technologies, explain technical concepts and identify trade-offs to find the best suited solution for a problem.
Are curious about how things work; when they break you are eager and able to help fix them.
Core Infrastructure is a diverse and inclusive team that treats their colleagues exceptionally well. We are happy to help you learn what you need to know; we encourage and support each other’s growth and thus it’s not expected that you would have expertise across all of these areas.
