Junior Software Engineer

  • What is Slice?

    Slice is the leading technology and marketing platform made exclusively for local pizzerias, making it super easy to order delicious, authentic local pizza anywhere, anytime. We serve the $45 billion U.S. pizzeria market in two ways: by providing a pizza-centric mobile and web ordering experience for consumers, and by empowering local restaurants with the technology, tools, and marketing to grow their business, while helping them compete with Big Pizza.

     Slice was born in 2011 and has quietly bootstrapped its way to building a network of more than 10,000 pizzerias nationwide. Ilir Sela, our founder and CEO, started the company as a passion project to help his friends and family in the pizza business, but he quickly saw a massive opportunity to champion these small businesses by bringing their bites to the masses. Ilir has since built an amazing team of operators, marketers, technologists, and investors — all dedicated to making it easier for people to enjoy their favourite local pizza.

    We celebrate pizza as the ultimate shareable food: It turns everyday moments into memories and brings together friends, families, and communities. And when you order pizza from a place in your neighborhood, you support a local business. So whether you call it a pizza parlor, slice joint, or pizzeria, we’re here to help you order authentic local pizza and live your best slice life.

    Let’s meet if an opportunity as a Junior engineer at Slice sounds exciting! You will develop internal and customer facing web applications with Ruby on Rails and React.

     

    Essential

    • Experience building commercial software in a modern programming language (Ruby, Python, Java, Go etc)
    • Experience building websites with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
    • Strong communication skills
    • Passion for technology and self improvement
    • Fun and positive approach to work, and treat others well
    • Excellent problem solving, analytical and organisational skills
    • Desire to learn, grow and progress  as an engineer



    Desirable

    • Experience with Ruby, Python or JavaScript - bonus points for web development frameworks such as Rails
    • Experience with front-end JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue or Angular
    • Comfortable working in Linux/Unix-like environments (e.g. Mac OS, Ubuntu, etc.) and using a command-line interface
    • Experience of personal projects, GitHub, building websites, etc.

     

    Interested?

    We operate like a startup, so being self-motivated, curious, and flexible is a good start. You prefer to come up with your own solutions to problems but are not afraid to ask for help. You enjoy making suggestions for how to improve our product and business, no matter the department. You’re the kind of person who roots for the underdog. And lastly, this job will probably be a lot easier if you have a soulmate-level love for authentic pizza.

     

    Why Slice?

    Join a community of engineers who combine creativity, curious minds and a commitment to excellence with the desire and commitment to grow and build on the engineering skill base and community here in Northern Ireland, therefore we do not hire remote engineers.
