About Salesforce

We're Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too - driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good - you've come to the right place.

Our security team supports the unwritten fourth tenet of Slack's mission: make people's working lives more secure. We're serious about protecting our infrastructure, operations, and most importantly, our customers' data. We take a systemic approach to security and strive to provide a low friction, high-impact security model across everything we do.

Slack Security Engineering is hiring a curious Senior Staff level blue team software engineer to help drive our threat detection program and collaborate on our development efforts. An interest in development, operations, curiosity, and a deep desire to learn are key to a successful team member.

You will work directly on the Slack Security Engineering team focusing on threat detection, logging, and remediation. We aim to provide a record of all actions taken in our environment to address any unknowns, acknowledging no system is perfect.

We'd like you to have experience in Data Science / ML work, starting with simple ML models for anomaly detection, with the goal of advancing to using LLMs to enhance alerting capabilities and train classification/clustering models on our data for sophisticated alerts and self-learning feedback loops.

The ideal candidate is passionate about finding IOCs and suggesting new detection features and methods. Experience with APT tradecraft and threat intel is a plus.

Many team members are multidisciplinary engineers writing Go, Python, and scaling Elasticsearch. We're cautious AI adopters, benefiting from modern AI tools like Cursor.

This role supports our US-based, distributed SecOps team working closely with Melbourne & Auckland teams. We value frequent communication (via Slack and Zoom), participation in on-call rotations, and broader engineering engagement at Slack.

Slack fosters a positive, diverse, and supportive culture. We look for curious, inventive individuals working to improve daily, characterized by intelligence, humility, hard work, and collaboration.

What you will be doing

  • Identify and develop features to protect Slack's infrastructure and improve security and user experience
  • Detect threats and enhance Slack's security posture
  • Develop eBPF tooling and author detections
  • Scale and operate infrastructure handling millions of events per second
  • Respond to incidents in on-call rotations and investigate potential threats

What you should have

  • Curiosity and creativity, wanting to understand why events happen
  • A desire to empower and collaborate with coworkers, approaching problems as an art
  • Motivation to solve problems thoroughly, avoiding quick patches
  • Eagerness to collaborate across teams and foster an inclusive ethos
  • Broad exposure to security disciplines and understanding of core security concepts like MFA, ZeroTrust, secrets management

Bonus Points

  • Experience with AWS or other cloud providers
  • Knowledge of Elasticsearch/Kibana
  • Experience with Google Chronicle/SecOps SIEMs
