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. Can you imagine what a small mom and pop pizza shop could achieve with the resources of Domino’s?

What you'll do:

  • Build the machine learning function at Slice.
  • Manage a growing team of data scientists and researchers.
  • Lead the creation of prioritized data science roadmaps that effectively distill vision and strategy into shipped products.
  • Closely partner with Product, Engineering and business teams to productize data models and launch new data products.

What we're looking for:

  • Educational background in computer science, machine learning, statistics, applied math, economics, operations research, or a related field. PhD preferred, Masters required.
  • 5+ years of industry experience in data science and machine learning as a technical contributor. Experience working with large data sets and experience with spatial data a plus.
  • Experience as a frontline manager, leading teams of 3 or more.
  • Ownership mindset. You mobilize people, create things, solve problems, roll up your sleeves, collaborate, go above and beyond. You are an insatiable doer and motivator of others.
  • Experience working in a metrics and experimentation driven organization.
  • Experience with common analysis tools - Python, R, and SQL. Demonstrable familiarity with code and programming concepts.
  • A never-ending desire to grow and learn.

History of Slice:

Slice was born in 2010 and has quietly bootstrapped its way to building a network of more than 11,000 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 craft 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 favorite local pizza while helping local shops succeed. 

Our Pizza Philosophy

Slice is on a journey to be the most valuable pizza brand on the planet. We connect makers and eaters to enrich their lives through the power of specialization and pizza expertise. Backed by generations of knowledge and cutting-edge technology, we give makers the platform and voice to take charge of their industry, expand their coverage, and fill the world with authentic cuisine. When passionate makers turn their craft into their livelihood, we all live happier, fuller lives. People stop accepting the homogenous, mass-produced pies of big chains and robotic trucks because the quality, variety, and authenticity of Slice is both hyper-convenient and known worldwide. We believe pizza isn’t just food. It’s a slice of community, a slice of culture, a slice of life. 

We’re growing our family every day — so, if you’ve got a passion for local, authentic pizza and the drive to help share it with the world, we’d love to have you on the team! Check out a few awards we’ve recently won for our workplace and culture: Inc.Crain'sBuiltinNYC
