What the job involves
- You will be helping to create the next generation of our Marketing Suite
- The Marketing Suite contains a wide range of products including a Loyalty Program, Gift Cards, Guest Feedback management and both Email & SMS communications
- Your mission would be to build the next generation of the Marketing Suite and help restaurants make smart decisions and be successful
- As a Software Engineer on the Marketing team, you could be working on:
- Enhancing our Loyalty Program with new ways for restaurants to engage with their guests
- Building a Marketing Automation Platform
- Building AI capabilities into our Marketing Suite
- Building the next generation of our marketing channels (Email, SMS, Social)
- Building a reputation management system
- Our products run on a stack that ranges from guest and restaurant-facing Android tablets to backend services in Java to internal, guest-facing and restaurant-facing web apps
- Our backend services follow a microservice architecture written using Java & Kotlin and DropWizard; we use AWS extensively, ranging from S3 to RDS to DynamoDB to Lambda
- We have our own platform for dealing with service elevations and robust load balancing. We store data in PostgreSQL databases or DynamoDB tables depending on use case, and utilize Apache Spark for large scale data workloads including query and batch processing
- The web frontend is built using React and ES6. Our main point of sale application is an Android application written in Java and Kotlin. Apache Pulsar and Camel are used extensively in our integration transaction workflow processing. For communication between tablets and our cloud platform, we utilize RabbitMQ clusters as well as direct API communication to our HTTP backend
Our take
Running a restaurant means managing a stressful set of elements, all needing to work together seamlessly to create a good experience for diners. Toast helps to streamline processes, and puts an end to piles of paperwork, by providing a platform whereby tableside ordering, menu modifications, labour management, payroll, and more are all housed in one system that can run from a tablet.
Toast offers restaurant-grade hardware and cloud-based, customisable payment solutions to serve clients from startup through to growth phase, as well as a service for established restaurants. By combining all the digital services a restaurant might need, the platform can act as the one and comprehensive solution for restaurants of any size, avoiding restaurateurs from having to invest in a range of technologies.
Toast has over 70,000 restaurants on its books, from food trucks to national brands, and its mobile ordering and payment solutions have made it a recognized brand for consumers. The company's IPO in 2021 saw it valued at over $30 billion and since then, it has added more features to its product suite including wholesale and catering order tools. Toast then, has proven its place as an indispensable player in the restaurant space.
