Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfil this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.

The Challenge to Solve

Develop web services for both internal and restaurant facing applications using the latest technologies and design patterns available.

The Role

In the Restaurant platform engineering squad you will focus on building and maintaining backend services that support various client applications. You will collaborate with multiple other Engineers on the team and also with Product Managers while focusing on building products based on a roadmap. Python will be the primary programming language you’ll be working with, potentially touching on Ruby or Golang on occasion too.

The Team

The Restaurant team is home to a group of world class engineers and engineering leaders from around the globe. They are a hugely collaborative team and partner daily with engineers from other squads, Product Managers, Designers, and Data Scientists to execute on objectives and implement best practices while delivering for our amazing shop owners!

• Experience with unit testing, integration testing, end to end testing and functional testing
• Comfortable in Linux/Unix-like environments, CI/CD pipeline for development and deployments, monitoring applications and AWS
• Able to clearly express opinions on product design, while respecting the thoughts and opinions of their peers
