• Own and continually evolve Slack Kit, Slack’s design system and component library, to deliver a consistent experience for end users while making it fast and easy for designers and engineers across the company to build product features.
• Help set technical direction and facilitate execution for major Frontend Engineering initiatives, such as modernizing Slack’s CSS architecture.
• With IC leads, develop clear roadmaps and milestones to enable the team to execute on multi-quarter projects.
• Provide regular feedback, coaching, and seek out growth opportunities for your team to help them continually level up technically and grow their careers.
• Build a sustainable high performing team and a work environment that’s both supportive and challenging.

Required Skills:

• 3+ years leading software engineering teams.
• Previous experience as a Senior+ Frontend Software Engineer.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, organizational, and time management skills.
• Experience hiring, mentoring, and leading engineers.
• Experience communicating with users, other technical teams, and product management to understand requirements, describe software product features, and technical designs.
• An understanding of how and where AI software development tooling can be deployed for maximum team impact.
