About The Position

govSlackers is looking for a Slack Architect to lead the technical design behind our customer engagements. This is a hands-on, deeply technical role for someone who can architect scalable, secure, and well-governed Slack environments. The ideal candidate enjoys solving tough technical problems as much as talking through them with customers. You'll partner closely with our Slack Consultants, taking the business needs they've uncovered and turning them into robust technical architecture: integrations, automations, governance frameworks, and custom-built solutions on the Slack platform.

Requirements

Deep, hands-on experience administering and/or developing on the Slack platform, ideally including Enterprise Grid environments
Strong experience designing technical architecture in enterprise environments, including integrations, identity/SSO, APIs, and system design
Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks relevant to enterprise or public-sector environments
Ability to communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Prior consulting or professional services experience
Experience with Slack's Bolt SDK, Workflow Builder, or custom app development
Familiarity with the Salesforce ecosystem
Experience with government or public-sector clients and related compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, StateRAMP)
Slack-issued certifications (e.g., Slack Certified Admin, Slack Certified Developer)
Must be a U.S. citizen

Responsibilities

Own the technical architecture for customer Slack implementations, from workspace/org structure through integrations, security, and governance
Design and build integrations between Slack and other enterprise systems (Salesforce, ITSM tools, identity providers, custom APIs) using Slack's APIs, Bolt SDK, and Workflow Builder
Lead technical discovery sessions with customer IT, security, and compliance stakeholders to understand constraints and requirements
Define governance frameworks covering channel management, app approval, data retention, and access controls, especially for customers with strict security or compliance requirements
Partner with Slack Consultant to translate business requirements into scalable, secure technical designs
Build custom apps, workflows, and automations that extend Slack's native capabilities to meet customer-specific needs
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other consultants and engineers on the delivery team
Stay current on Slack's evolving platform and AI-powered capabilities, and evaluate how new features can be applied to customer environments
Troubleshoot complex technical issues during implementation and provide post-launch technical support
