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. This position is open to applicants across all of the UK on a remote basis, with the physical office located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Challenge to Solve 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. As an engineer on our team, you’ll seek out bold, asymmetric opportunities to create these outsized impacts for our restaurant partners and the millions of customers they serve. It’s not just about writing code – it’s about writing the future of local pizza. What You'll Do 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. Specifically, you will: • 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: Constantly look for asymmetric opportunities where a small technical change can deliver disproportionate value. You’ll use your creativity and entrepreneurial mindset to find 10x solutions that delight users and give our partners an edge., • Own projects end-to-end: Take ownership of initiatives from concept through production. You’ll work closely with product, design, and other teams to define solutions, execute rapidly, and iterate based on feedback. When you see a problem, you don’t wait - you tackle it., • Use the best tools for the job: 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. Together, you will review code, brainstorm ideas, and push each other to raise the bar while maintaining a fun, supportive atmosphere., • 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. The Winning Recipe We’re looking for bold, founder-like engineers who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo and build products that make a real difference. If you’re an unconventional thinker and a highly productive doer, you’ll feel right at home. The ideal candidate has: • Owner’s mindset: You think like a founder. You take initiative, own problems end-to-end, and move with urgency to deliver results. Obstacles energize you, and you thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment where your decisions drive real impact., • Proven builder: 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., • Product & customer focus: You care deeply about the why behind your code. You can clearly express opinions on product direction and design, always keeping the end-customer and restaurant owner in mind. At the same time, you respect others’ perspectives and believe the best ideas can come from anywhere., • Innovative problem solver: You love finding creative solutions to hard problems. Words like “impossible” or “uncharted” fuel your curiosity. You seek out those asymmetric win scenarios and aren’t afraid to experiment, adapt, and iterate to achieve a better outcome for users. 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! The Extras Working at Slice comes with a comprehensive set of benefits, but here are some of the unexpected highlights: • Access to medical, dental, and vision plans, • Flexible working hours, • Generous time off policies, • £200 per annum employee wellbeing allowance, • Market leading maternity and paternity schemes The Hiring Process You’ll find a summary of your expected interview process below and we’ll stick to this as closely as possible, but please note this may be subject to change. • Application, • 30 minute introductory meeting, • 90 minute Live Coding Interview & 60 minute Technical Interview, • 45 minute Hiring Manager meeting, • Offer!

At HIVED, we’re steamrolling forward as one of Europe’s fastest growing startups, and our momentum shows no signs of slowing. Based in London, we are a climate and logistics start-up building the first sustainable parcel delivery network at scale, powered by a 100% electric fleet. In an ever-growing industry where unreliable service has long been the norm, HIVED has been built from the ground-up to meet the demands of modern consumers and disrupt parcel delivery.

We’re passionate about driving innovation and redefining the future of delivery. We're on a mission to make parcel delivery clean, and our drivers are at the heart of it. If you love getting stuck into meaty backend problems with real purpose, you'll feel right at home building the complex, distributed systems behind HIVED's emission-free delivery network. Every feature you ship puts the right information in a driver's hands at exactly the right moment, helping them deliver smarter and greener from the moment they log on to the very last drop of the day. In the Driver Squad, you'll take genuine ownership of problems across the backend systems and tooling that keep our drivers moving. You'll drive features end-to-end, from discovery through to deployment and monitoring, scoping the solution, weighing the trade‑offs, and contributing to the squad's engineering quality, all in close partnership with Product, UX, Operations, and fellow engineers. We're rebuilding parcel delivery from the ground up on a modern stack, with sustainability, flexibility, and scalability baked in from day one. • Last metre navigation. Guide drivers to the exact closest access point to a customer's door, shaving precious seconds off every drop., • Smarter routing. Teach our systems to recognise different types of addresses, like a business that's shut on a weekend, so we stop attempting drops that were never going to land. Fewer wasted miles means faster routes for drivers and lighter emissions., • Telemetry that shapes behaviour. Turn on-the-road telemetry data into insight that helps us understand and positively influence how our drivers drive., • Never lose a parcel. Build the tooling that detects and traces lost parcels, ideally before a customer ever notices. We've raised a $42M Series B led by NordicNinja, and a big slice of it is going straight into the engineering teams you'd be joining. This role exists because we're scaling fast. The traction is real: over 6.5 million parcels delivered across London for the likes of John Lewis, Zara, Uniqlo, and Nespresso, 99% on‑time, and customer satisfaction north of 90% in an industry that averages around 32%. We're growing quickly and rolling out to new UK cities. We're also a certified B Corp and one of the only fully electric delivery networks around, so sustainability isn't a marketing line, it's the model. And as the business grows, so do the engineering problems. Every new city and every jump in parcel volume reshapes what our systems need to handle, so you'll be solving real scaling challenges first‑hand. You'll also stay close to the operation, on the ground with drivers and ops rather than removed from the people your work actually serves. • Ship features that matter. Take defined features from idea to live, breaking down the problem, weighing the trade‑offs, and helping the squad prioritise by impact., • Write code you're proud of. Clean, tested, well‑documented, and built to scale, the kind of code the whole team can pick up and run with., • Raise the bar together. Dive into code reviews as both author and reviewer, and spot improvements within the squad's scope before they become problems., • Partner, don't just build. Work shoulder to shoulder with Product, UX, and Operations, let real data guide your calls, and share what you learn with the wider engineering team., • Own it in production. Deploy, monitor, and once you're settled in, join the on‑call rota to keep things humming., • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, or a related STEM field (or equivalent practical experience)., • 3+ years of backend software engineering experience, including exposure to distributed systems., • Proficiency in at least one typed backend language, with the ability to ramp up quickly on HIVED's stack., • Experience designing, building, and running production services on a major cloud platform (AWS preferred)., • Experience with relational databases and Infrastructure as Code., • Strong collaboration and written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to work across disciplines., • Working knowledge of Go, TypeScript, and AWS., • Exposure to logistics, mobility or operational-domain systems., • Evidence of self‑directed learning, such as personal projects or open source contributions., • Golang, • AWS, CDK (TypeScript), Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, RDS (PostgreSQL), • React, React Native, • GitHub, GitHub Actions, • Grafana, Loki, • Claude Code, • Event‑driven architecture and domain‑driven design, • Intro call with the hiring manager, • Live coding challenge solving a problem, • A take home case study, followed by a design discussion, • On‑site interview at our Shoreditch HQ (role and culture), • We Are Kind - Kind to the planet, our team and our partners.
