About this roll* (Responsibilities)

In this role, you’ll get to work on a wide variety of projects, using your technical chops to influence not just the code, but also product and business strategies.

  • Ship code that has a massive impact on the growth and strategy of Toast
  • Experiment directly with Guests and Restaurants to test new dining experiences
  • Champion best practices for development, deployment and quality life-cycles

Do you have the right ingredients*? (Requirements)

  • 8+ years experience working in a microservice architecture with either Java/Kotlin
  • You can excel working in a full-stack team
  • Track record of delivering high impact features and leading projects
  • You know how to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve system performance through logging and metrics
  • You’re hungry to learn more and willing to take on challenging projects if it means you’ll be a better engineer at the end
