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 Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical design of key systems across 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 design and evolve major systems and components, work across teams to align on direction, and make technical decisions that shape the customer experience. You thrive in environments where the path is not always defined. You enjoy solving complex problems, making thoughtful decisions with incomplete information, and balancing speed with long-term technical excellence. 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 lead the design, architecture, implementation, and delivery of major systems and initiatives that span multiple teams. You code and test system components, leading code and design reviews and bringing significant designs to technical committee review. You own code quality, system tests, functional tests, and integration for the systems you build and the interfaces between them. You relentlessly simplify, bringing creativity and sound judgement to significant, ambiguous problems that have no established answer. You collaborate with UX and product teams to build and invent new solutions that put customers first. You are a recognized technical authority and are regularly consulted on difficult trade-off decisions across groups. You use your expertise to help shape company technical objectives, and you build formal networks across groups to align on direction. You act independently on new and special assignments, guide the work of others, and mentor engineers to raise the technical bar. What you bring to the team: 10+ years of professional software development experience building and operating scalable, customer-facing software systems. Technical leadership experience, including designing architecture, making complex trade-offs, and driving engineering decisions across teams. Experience designing and building reliable, scalable distributed systems, including web services, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Proven ability to work through ambiguity, simplify complex problems, and deliver high-quality solutions in fast-paced environments. Experience integrating third-party platforms and SaaS products through APIs, events, and webhooks. Experience with ecommerce or marketplace systems, such as catalog, checkout, payments, or order management, is a plus. Experience building high-performance customer experiences, including frontend performance optimization, is a plus. WORK AUTHORIZATION Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time. SALARY RANGE The compensation for this position is the range Slate reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for the position taking into account the wide variety of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including job-related knowledge; skillset; experience, education and training; certifications; work location; and other relevant business and organizational factors. $171,191.00 - $285,319.00 USD Annual Base Pay Range: ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS Slate offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k.

About Us At Slate, we’ve got one job: building a vehicle you’ll fall in love with, right here in the USA. We believe that car buyers—not car companies—should call the shots. We like looking at a road, not a screen. We don’t like paying for stuff we don’t need. We like picking out the stuff we do need. We think dings are badges, not blemishes. But we know not everyone likes what we like. So, we built you a Slate: you make it yours.
