<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">More important than experience with every individual tool is a passion for building platforms that make other engineers more productive.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Who You Are</strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We're looking for engineers who enjoy building platforms rather than products—people who love automation, reducing complexity, and enabling others to move faster.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><em>The ideal candidate has:</em></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Platform mindset</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Strong automation skills</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You're comfortable writing production-quality software—particularly in Python—to automate infrastructure, build internal tooling, and eliminate manual processes.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Kubernetes experience</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You have experience operating or building on Kubernetes and understand modern cloud-native deployment patterns.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>GitOps &amp; CI/CD</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You understand GitOps principles and have experience with tools like ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, or similar deployment and automation platforms.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Operational excellence</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Strong communication skills</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Collaborative enabler</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You enjoy partnering with engineering teams, understanding their pain points, and building solutions that improve their day-to-day experience.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Ownership mindset</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You take ownership of problems from discovery through implementation. You look beyond immediate fixes and seek scalable, long-term improvements.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Nice to have:</em></strong><em> 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.</em></span></p>
<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>What Success Looks Like</strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You'll know you're succeeding when:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Deployments become faster and more reliable.</span></li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Engineers spend less time wrestling with infrastructure.</span></li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Platform capabilities are easy to discover and adopt.</span></li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Operational toil is replaced with automation.</span></li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Best practices become the default through well-designed guardrails.</span></li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Proficient in the use of generative AI tools.</span></li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Teams can confidently move from idea to production with minimal friction.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>The Hiring Process</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Application.</span></li>
