Requirements

  • Strong understanding and hands-on experience building RESTful APIs and fault-tolerant, highly scalable, secure distributed systems.
  • Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL databases, strong understanding of distributed datastores, and knowledge of when to use each.
  • Familiarity with distributed-systems concepts, asynchronous messaging such as Kafka, Pulsar, or AWS SQS/SNS, and cloud platforms such as AWS.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills, curiosity to learn restaurant-domain workflows, and enthusiasm for collaboration in an agile, cross-functional team.
  • Demonstrate humility, empathy, and respectfulness.

Responsibilities

  • Lead complex projects that may span multiple teams and systems.
  • Champion best practices such as quality automated testing and phased rollouts to ensure zero-regression releases and high test coverage.
  • Monitor service health for success and failure, analyze logs and metrics using Datadog or CloudWatch, and participate in on-call rotations to maintain platform uptime.

  • Collaborate with product managers and user experience partners on developing new features and products.
  • Mentor and coach peer engineers.
  • Use AI tooling as part of the workflow.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience designing platform APIs that other teams depend on, with a platform-oriented approach rather than only feature delivery.
  • Comfort with document-based or columnar data stores.

About the Company

Toast

Builds restaurant and retail software and payments

Toast builds a cloud platform that connects point-of-sale terminals, payments and business software for restaurants and retailers. Its Toast Go handheld devices let staff take orders and accept payments beside the customer, while kitchen screens route tickets to the people preparing each meal. Operators manage menus, online orders and employee payroll through connected tools that share real-time information across the front counter and back office. The company earns software subscription fees and transaction-based payment fees, and sells hardware and implementation services. Toast was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
