Toast's mission is to enrich the food experience for all.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in back-end development using Java, Kotlin, or other object-oriented languages
- Proficient with modern API standards and technologies (e.g. REST, GraphQL)
- Proficient with relational databases and alternative data stores
- Experience with distributed systems, enterprise messaging systems, and/or microservices
- Demonstrated ability to deliver high-impact, scalable solutions in complex, multi-product environments
- Strong leadership and mentoring skills
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
- Passionate about driving innovation and continuously improving engineering practices
What the job involves
- Every restaurant is unique, and a restaurant’s menu expresses its individual brand and product offerings
- Inside a Toast restaurant, the definition of the menu becomes the common language between guests, servers, and the kitchen
- In our digital ordering products, a great menu serves as both a billboard and a roadmap to an excellent dining experience
- It is the central hub for restaurant configuration– it determines what guests can order, how the dishes are presented and priced in different contexts, where they are routed for fulfillment and how they are coursed, how they are prepared, whether the ingredients are still available, and how they are classified for reporting
- A menu is always evolving: kitchens create new dishes, managers experiment with pricing and presentation, and staff optimize the menu for restaurant operations
- We create products to satisfy the vast breadth of our restaurants, from single-location coffee shops to complex enterprise brands with thousands of locations
- We offer an extremely powerful and configurable menu platform, and our team exists to ensure that this flexibility can be managed effectively at any scale
- This includes feature-rich menu data models, APIs for both first and third party integrations (eg: DoorDash and other ordering partners), and the user experiences for configuring menus that meet a vast variety of needs, from complex customer segments (eg: Pizza shops) to our evolving Retail platform
- We are looking for a senior engineer who is motivated by these challenges and eager to transform our menus architecture to meet the dynamic needs of our customers and our rapidly growing business
- Come join our team to make an impact on this critical domain that affects all Toast customers!
- Design, build, deploy, and maintain highly resilient and scalable features in Toast’s menu management products through full-stack development
- Collaborate with UX, PM, QA and Engineering to define, design, and build best-in-class solutions in a complex and fast-moving environment
- Champion best practices for development, deployment and quality life-cycles
- Contribute to Toast’s internal libraries
- Guide the growth & development of peer engineers with mentoring and coaching
- Collaborate with team to plan and estimate work
- Share best practices with other frontend engineers across Toast R&D
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.
