Job Details

About the role
Slack is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own Android accessibility across the app - from Slack Kit component-level fixes to platform-wide screen reader, testing, and compliance strategy. You'll be the primary technical owner of Android a11y, working closely with the iOS/mobile accessibility team, design systems, and feature teams to make Slack usable for everyone.

What you'll do

  • Drive accessibility for Slack Kit Compose components - audit and fix issues, and build/maintain snapshot and automated a11y testing.
  • Diagnose and fix TalkBack/framework issues and generalize fixes into shared utilities other teams can adopt.
  • Own and evolve Android a11y test suites and infrastructure, including custom tooling and third-party integrations for automated UI-test coverage.
  • Provide accessibility guidance to feature teams on complex UI work - labeling, focus order, state announcements, and audible feedback for interactive actions.
  • Lead VPAT compliance efforts: triage and resolve related tickets, group recurring issues into epics, and clearly document Slack's compliance posture.
  • Plan and run accessibility testing across major features and partner with QA vendors on regression testing.
  • Represent Android in cross-platform mobile accessibility planning, coordinating with iOS counterparts, design systems, and feature teams
  • Mentor Android engineers on accessibility best practices, run onboarding sessions, and share knowledge broadly (docs, newsletters, external talks).


What we're looking for

  • 5+ years Android engineering experience, including Kotlin and Jetpack Compose in a team environment
  • Hands-on expertise with Android accessibility APIs and TalkBack behavior.
  • Experience building or maintaining accessibility testing infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with accessibility compliance frameworks (e.g. WCAG, VPAT) and experience driving compliance work end-to-end.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills - you'll work with design systems, iOS and feature teams regularly.


Nice to have

  • Experience with design systems / component libraries and accessibility standards.
  • Familiarity with third-party accessibility auditing tools or building custom static-analysis/scanning tools.
  • Public speaking or writing on accessibility topics.
  • Experience using Slack and a keen interest in making it better


What It's Like Working Here

  • We provide generous benefits at Salesforce
  • Autonomous, self-starter working environment
  • We actively work on ways to be more inclusive in our culture and in our hiring
