We're looking for people who are passionate about creating great accessible iOS applications.

You excel in leading others, and mentoring and growing other iOS engineers and accessibility evangelists is something you are passionate about. You set a high bar for the technical design and code quality of your team. You demonstrate exceptional ownership of not only the area of your team, but across Slack’s entire iOS codebase. You have a “can do” demeanor and nothing is beneath you or outside your responsibilities because you do what it takes to deliver the highest quality code and the most impactful features.
