About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

The Experience

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 Actually Be Doing

• 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).

You're Our Person If...

• 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.

Even Better If...

• 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

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.

In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, and benefits. Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program.
