ABOUT SLATE
At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.
Who we are looking for:
Slate is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to design and build features and services for our digital platform. We’re building a direct-to-consumer EV brand from the ground up, and our software connects customers to their Slate at every step, from discovering and customizing their vehicle to managing their ownership journey.
You’ll own the design and delivery of complex features and services, work closely with product and UX, and see your work shape the customer experience.
You’re comfortable when the path is not always defined. You enjoy solving complex problems, making sound decisions with incomplete information, and balancing speed with long-term quality. At Slate, there is no distance between what you build and the impact it creates. Your work will help define how customers experience an entirely new automotive brand.
What you get to do:
- You design, build, and deliver complex features and services, and you decide the technical approach on new assignments.
- You code and test system components and give thoughtful, constructive code and design reviews.
- You own end-to-end quality for your work, including unit, functional, and integration tests.
- You simplify where you can, bringing creativity and good judgement to complex problems with many variables.
- You work with UX and product teams to turn customer needs into solution.
- You are a trusted technical resource and make sound trade-off decisions in your area.
- You understand how your technical choices affect customers and the business, and you raise risks early.
- You build relationships outside your immediate area, coordinate the work of others, and mentor and support your team.
What you bring to the team:
- 6+ years of professional software development experience building customer-facing software systems.
- Experience owning the design and delivery of complex features or services, and making sound technical trade-offs.
- Experience building reliable, scalable web services and APIs, with working knowledge of cloud infrastructure.
- Ability to solve complex problems, simplify where possible, and deliver high-quality work with minimal direction.
- Experience integrating third-party services through APIs, events, or webhooks.
- Experience with ecommerce or marketplace systems is a plus.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Slate. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
