Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Foundational knowledge of at least one backend language — Kotlin, Java, Python, or similar object-oriented language
- Exposure to frontend web development — HTML, CSS, JavaScript or TypeScript. Familiarity with React is a plus
- Basic understanding of RESTful APIs and how frontend and backend systems communicate
- Familiarity with relational databases (SQL) or NoSQL databases (DynamoDB, MongoDB, or similar)
- Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows (pull requests, code reviews)
- Strong communication skills — you can explain your thinking clearly and ask good questions
- Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and grow in a fast-paced environment
- Comfort working in an agile team with sprint ceremonies, standups, and retrospectives
Desirable
- Experience with Android development (Kotlin, Activities, Fragments)
- Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks and tooling (React, TypeScript, Webpack/Vite)
- Exposure to cloud services (AWS), containerization (Docker), or CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with message queues or event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pulsar, or similar)
- Contributions to open-source projects or personal side projects that demonstrate curiosity and initiative
- Experience with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar)
- Interest in POS systems, payments, fiscal compliance, or restaurant technology
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer I on the Canada & Emerging Markets team, you'll join a collaborative, supportive engineering team building the features that power restaurants across North America and beyond
- You'll work across the full stack — from Android POS devices in the restaurant to backend services in the cloud — gaining broad exposure to how Toast's platform works end to end
- Toast is driven by building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love
- This is a growth-focused role. You'll be paired with a buddy, mentored by senior engineers, and given progressively challenging work as you ramp
- You'll contribute to real features from your first sprint, participate in code reviews, and learn how to ship software that runs in thousands of restaurants
- Our team values curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to learn — we'll invest in your development and help you build a strong engineering foundation
- Leverage cutting edge AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) to enhance your development workflow, improve velocity, and help pioneer new approaches to building - contributing to a culture of innovation and productivity across the team
- Build and maintain features across the full stack — Android (Kotlin), backend services (Kotlin/Java), and frontend SPAs (React/TypeScript) — under the guidance of senior engineers
- Contribute to backend RESTful services (G2 services) and understand how they integrate with the POS, ToastWeb, and other platform components
- Participate in frontend development for internal tools and customer-facing web applications using React and TypeScript
- Write automated tests (unit, integration) and maintain high standards for code quality and reliability
- Participate in code reviews — both giving and receiving feedback — to grow your skills and improve the codebase
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and QA engineers to deliver features that meet diverse market needs
- Complete both the backend (RESTful service) and frontend (SPA) codelabs during onboarding to build foundational knowledge of Toast's systems
- Learn Toast's deployment processes, CI/CD pipelines, and feature flag management (LaunchDarkly)
- Document your work clearly in Jira and Confluence, following team processes and agile practices
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.
