About The Position

Are you passionate about bringing early ideas to life through interactive prototypes and compelling product stories? We're looking for a Senior Product Experience Engineer who blends technical craft, creativity, and narrative thinking to explore what's possible and help shape the future direction of Slack. In this role, you'll experiment with emerging technologies, build high-fidelity prototypes, and collaborate closely with product, design, engineering, and marketing to translate early concepts into functional experiences. Your work will make abstract ideas tangible, inspire teams, and accelerate alignment across the organization. If you're driven by solving real product problems, experimenting with new technologies, and shaping early-stage ideas, this role provides a direct path to informing Slack's product direction.
