Engineering Manager, DevEx
Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve every advantage available to major franchises—without sacrificing their independence. What began with his family’s pizzerias now supports tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power they need to serve modern customers and build lasting businesses. We build for entrepreneurs who put everything into their shops. They deserve technology that is dependable, intuitive, and capable of creating meaningful economic value. We move with urgency, think from first principles, and measure success by the outcomes we create for pizzerias and their customers.
