Remote Staff Software Developer, Services in Shotts

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.
How do mom-and-pop pizzerias survive and win in a world of big-budget pizza chains and third-party apps? This is the challenge you'll help solve at Slice. Local pizzerias already outperform the big chains in offline sales, yet are outsold 20-to-1 online – a gap we're determined to close. We operate at the intersection of high stakes and local community: our mission is to level the playing field for small businesses by providing them with the technology and capabilities that rival those of the biggest players. When a shop partners with Slice, our goal is that it feels "as if they've just hired 1,000 people" to support their business. It's not just about writing code – it's about writing the future of local pizza.
As a Staff Software Developer on our Services team, you will immerse yourself in our ambitious mission and take on a wide range of responsibilities to drive customer impact. Build innovative features & services: Design, code, and launch new backend features that help our restaurant partners operate more efficiently and deliver exceptional, seamless experiences to their customers. Your work will directly enhance real-world interactions between shops and pizza lovers every day.
Identify game-changing opportunities: Own projects end-to-end: Take ownership of initiatives from concept through production. While our primary stack is Python (Flask), we embrace any technology that delivers value. You might rewrite a microservice from Go to Python, craft a script in Ruby, or leverage a new cloud service – whatever it takes to solve the task at hand in a scalable way.
Collaborate in a small, agile team: Work alongside a tight-knit team of 5 to 8 backend engineers (across the US, UK, and Europe) who are as passionate about the mission as you are. Ensure quality and performance at scale: Employ best practices in coding, testing, monitoring, and DevOps to ensure our services are reliable and performant. You build it, you own it - from writing unit tests to fine-tuning logging and alerting, you'll make sure your code runs smoothly in production.
You have solid experience crafting scalable backend systems in Python (Flask) and working with databases and cloud services. You're comfortable diving into monitoring and logging tools to keep systems healthy. More importantly, you're technology-agnostic – you quickly pick up new languages or frameworks (Go, Ruby, or whatever is needed) to solve problems effectively.
Remote-ready collaborator: You excel at working on a distributed team and communicating asynchronously. You're comfortable collaborating with teammates across different time zones and backgrounds, and you know how to stay connected and communicative in a remote work setting.
You love finding creative solutions to hard problems. If you've ever dreamed of building something big, scrappy, and impactful – and you have the skills to back it up – we want to meet you!
