Software Developer, Web in Newcastle upon Tyne

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. This position is open to applicants across all of the UK on a remote basis, with the physical office located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. There are several openings within our Web team so we welcome applications from candidates seeking intermediate or senior level positions.

The Role

To continue scaling our Front-End teams we're searching for an experienced software developer with a passion for Front-End development, particularly React and TypeScript. In this role, you will be instrumental in building world-class web products that empower small business owners. You will take a lead in solving technical challenges and utilise your expertise to contribute to and guide important technical decisions across the team. You'll be challenged with consistent hands-on contributions both autonomously and as a group. Your experience will be valuable in partnering with the technical leads and Development Manager, allowing them to focus on wider team and strategic initiatives, while you pilot technical responsibilities. Your ability to troubleshoot complex production issues and ensure high-quality test coverage will be crucial to our continuous delivery model.

The Team

You'll join a dynamic team of Front-End Developers and the individuals you'll collaborate with are curious, motivated, and exceptionally proficient in their respective domains. They welcome challenging tasks and thrive on resolving them within an empowered and supportive setting. Our team brings together talented developers from across the US, Canada, UK, and Eastern Europe, each contributing unique perspectives and expertise to drive success. We work on products used by hundreds of thousands of customers and we ship changes live to production every day. There are no direct reports for this position but you'll be comfortable coaching and mentoring others, sharing knowledge and setting examples to the wider team.
