Staff iOS Developer Experience Engineer - Slack

About the role

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Agentforce represents the future of AI, and you will help shape it as part of the iOS Developer Experience (DevXP) team. This team builds sustainable, AI‑powered developer tooling for the Slack iOS app, pioneering an agentic software development lifecycle that equips Slack engineers with intelligent tools and autonomous workflows so they can focus on solving hard problems rather than reinventing the wheel.

Responsibilities

• Enable feature engineers at Slack to tackle complicated problems quickly by pioneering an agentic software development lifecycle (Agentic SDLC).
• Build next‑generation developer workflows and intelligent agents that make iOS development best‑in‑class at Slack.
• Mentor and grow other iOS engineers in an increasingly AI‑assisted landscape.
• Set a high bar for technical design and code quality across the team and the broader Slack iOS codebase.
• Demonstrate ownership of debugging complex Bazel cache misses and prompting AI agents to auto‑tri‑age broken CI pipelines.
• Stay self‑directed, innovative, and biased toward action in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments.
• Love building new things and thrive even when facing failure.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience building and maintaining complex iOS tooling from CI to CD.
• Deep expertise with Swift, Bazel, Python, and Xcode tools.
• Hands‑on experience with Agentic SDLC workflows—using and integrating AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot Workspace, or custom LLM scripts) to automate PR generation, code reviews, and boilerplate refactoring.
• Ability to monitor and improve KPIs such as CI stability, TimeToMerge, and build time metrics, leveraging intelligent automation to proactively identify and resolve pipeline bottlenecks.
• Deep familiarity with the Apple ecosystem, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing tools, and scripting (Python/bash/etc.).

Qualifications

• Experience using Slack and a keen interest in making it better.
• Prior experience in an iOS developer experience role.
• A related technical degree is required.

Benefits

• Time off programs
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Mental health support
• Paid parental leave
• Life and disability insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Employee stock purchasing program
