Software Developer, DevEx (Deploy & Run)

We believe independent restaurants deserve the same advantages as big chains without giving up their independence.

Ilir Sela started Slice in his family’s pizzerias, where he saw firsthand what it takes to run a local shop. Now we’re taking everything we’ve learned beyond pizza, to taquerias, delis, burger joints, and other neighborhood staples.

We put technology, marketing, buying power, and support to work for more than 15,000 restaurants, so owners spend less time on admin, marketing, and order management and more time growing their business. They remain independent, but never alone.

We’re growing our team to help bring this next chapter to life. That’s where you come in.

This position is open to applicants across all of the UK, Canada and North Macedonia on a remote basis, with the physical office located in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

As a Platform Engineer on the DevEx Deploy & Run team, you'll build and evolve the platform that powers engineering across Slice. You'll work closely with product engineering teams to improve developer experience while raising the bar for reliability, security, and operational excellence.

Our Technology

More important than experience with every individual tool is a passion for building platforms that make other engineers more productive.

In this role, success isn't measured by the number of customer-facing features you ship—it's measured by how much easier you've made it for every engineer at Slice to build, deploy, and operate software.

The Hiring Process

Pizza brings people together. Slice is no different. We’re an Equal Opportunity Employer and embrace a diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, disability, national origin, protected veteran status, age, or any other status protected by applicable national, federal, state, or local law. We are also proud members of the Diversity Mark NI initiative as a Bronze Member.

We're looking for engineers who enjoy building platforms rather than products—people who love automation, reducing complexity, and enabling others to move faster.

Platform mindset

You think in terms of reusable systems instead of one-off fixes. You enjoy creating platforms, guardrails, and automation that improve the experience of dozens or hundreds of engineers.

You're comfortable writing production-quality software—particularly in Python—to automate infrastructure, build internal tooling, and eliminate manual processes.

You have experience operating or building on Kubernetes and understand modern cloud-native deployment patterns.

GitOps & CI/CD

You understand GitOps principles and have experience with tools like ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, or similar deployment and automation platforms.

Operational excellence

You care deeply about reliability, observability, and operational simplicity. Monitoring, logging, metrics, and incident response are part of how you build software—not an afterthought.

You are clear and concise in both written and oral communication whether it be providing status updates or defining requirements in RFC/PRD documents or ticketing system.

Collaborative enabler

You enjoy partnering with engineering teams, understanding their pain points, and building solutions that improve their day-to-day experience.

Ownership mindset

You take ownership of problems from discovery through implementation. You look beyond immediate fixes and seek scalable, long-term improvements.

Nice to have: Experience in product engineering. Having shipped customer-facing features yourself gives you firsthand empathy for the friction platform tooling can remove, and helps you design capabilities engineers actually want to adopt.
