Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional experience in software development, ideally in frontend or web platform roles
- Strong experience with React, TypeScript, and frontend build systems

- A platform mindset — you're motivated by removing friction and enabling others
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working across many teams to drive alignment
Desirable

What the job involves
- This team is deeply technical and platform-oriented. While we own some product surfaces (like navigation and homepage), our primary mission is to elevate how the frontend is built at Toast
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is passionate about modern frontend development, has strong systems thinking, and wants to make a huge impact on how hundreds of developers build for the web
- Lead the evolution of our shared frontend build system (Webpack, Vite, etc.)
- Drive improvements in our microfrontend architecture and tooling
- Enhancing our Node.js-based frontend CLI, scaffolding tools, and shared testing config
- Building internal tools to improve developer observability, debugging, and performance
- Partnering with other frontend teams to gather feedback, identify friction, and address gaps in our platform
- Monitoring the health and performance of deployed web apps using tools like DataDog, Splunk, and custom telemetry
- Shape org-wide best practices for frontend architecture, testing, and release workflow
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 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.
