Description
Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
We’re looking for an engineer to help build and scale Toast’s labor cost and timekeeping platforms - systems that directly influence labor spend for more than 166,000 restaurant locations. You’ll work on highly visible, mission-critical infrastructure supporting millions of employees and operators across Toast restaurants.
In this role, you’ll gain hands-on experience with large-scale, data-intensive systems. We’ve processed over a billion of shift records and are in the midst of an exciting architecture modernization to support rapid growth and faster development. We are operating at true scale, pushing the limits of our databases. If you’re excited to lay the technical foundation for the next generation of labor cost management—and to help restaurant operators save real money—we’d love to hear from you.
A day in the life (Responsibilities)
- Help shape our next-generation timekeeping systems that operate at massive scale, processing tens of millions of shift events every week.
- Build, run, and improve core backend systems alongside a collaborative, supportive team.
- Be a part of the organization with a strong focus on engineering culture and full end-to-end ownership.
- Participate across the full development lifecycle—design, estimation, implementation, testing, debugging, and deployment—while learning and applying best practices for building and operating reliable systems at scale.
- Ship code that directly impacts Toast’s growth and the day-to-day operations of restaurant teams
- Partner with product and design to influence what we build and how we build it
- Participate in thoughtful code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback
What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)
- Experience with one or more object-oriented programming languages (such as Java, Kotlin, or similar).
- Willingness to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve system performance through logging and metrics
- Ability and motivation to learn quickly and apply knowledge to solve real problems
- A hunger to take on challenging projects and build systems that operate at massive scale.
Above all, we’re looking for a strong engineer with solid fundamentals.
