Slate is where brand social teams create together. Our collaboration features — co-editing, commenting, approvals, and shared workspaces — are what make Slate a team tool, not just an editor. We need a Full Stack Engineer to own and extend the collaboration experience so teams can move faster without stepping on each other's work.
