Slack on iOS is used by millions of people every week.

You excel in leading others and derive joy from mentoring and growing other iOS engineers. 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.

- Extensive understanding of the standard system APIs
- A familiarity with the iOS tool ecosystem for development, testing, debugging, and performance benchmarking
