WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

At Slalom Build we co-create custom software, data and cloud products with clients who are ready to accelerate their digital transformation. We’re passionate about technology, compelled by its potential as we help create the digital products, experiences, and technology-driven organizations that drive true change. We’re thrilled by the opportunity to build the future we want to see, with anyone willing to join us.
We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently, with some days that may require in-person collaboration at our office.
The Software Engineering capability at Slalom Build brings our clients’ vision to life! We use modern tools and techniques (including GenAI tools and copilots) to build secure, highly scalable software products that handle our clients’ most innovative and strategic work. We follow Agile practices when building software components and applications that utilize modern frameworks and cloud scale in order to accelerate our clients’ business. Our software engineers are committed to the craft of collaboratively building high-quality and sustainable software products that delight our clients and their customers by taking advantage of emerging tools in an ever-changing technological landscape.

We build full-stack and mobile solutions across a range of established and emerging technologies and techniques according to the needs of our clients including:

• Front end applications and modern web platforms. Examples include React, Angular and Vue.
• Mobile applications using a variety of native and hybrid technologies. Examples include Swift, Kotlin, and react-native.
• APIs and back end services built using emerging frameworks and architectural patterns. Examples include Node, Typescript, Java and .Net.
• Hosting, Generative AI, and application services provided by industry leading cloud providers. Examples include AWS, Azure and GCP.
• Operational efficiencies leveraging modern ecosystems and automated build and deployment pipelines.
• Collaborative build practices, including Generative AI tooling, that allow our teams to be agile and responsive to our clients’ needs.

You will enable yourself and others to deliver high-quality solutions as part of a collaborative product engineering team. You will evaluate multiple approaches to solve problems and act as a velocity multiplier, actively mentoring and coaching other team members. By regularly reviewing and contributing to the refinement of your team’s work, you’ll lend creativity to solving software problems using core development tools and techniques. You will lead a small team through the design, development and transition of the entire software stack—aligning data, API, and UI components to the norms of the rest of the software product. All while experimenting with new technologies and developing skills across the stack and contributing to the positive flow of your team. Specifically, you will:

• Collaborate with other software development capabilities to iteratively design, develop, validate, and operate software at scale using agile techniques.
• Provide oversight and guidance for other software engineers.
• Lead the development of the implementation plan: designing the solution, setting patterns and practices and aligning to the project roadmap.
• Write high-quality application code using emerging technologies and frameworks primarily targeting cloud-based ecosystems.
• Verify components at the unit and integration level using proven validation techniques.
• Develop supporting scripts and routines that automate procedures and help maintain components in production environments.
• Build tooling and approaches to use GenAI to accelerate all aspects of the work we do, internally and for our clients
