Toast is looking for a Lead Software Engineer to play a critical role in evolving the architecture of our software platform, while mentoring a team of 3-5 engineers. Our software is used by restaurant staff every minute that a restaurant is open, from seating guests, to taking orders, to displaying orders in the kitchen. Toast’s overall ecosystem, contains an evolving set of Java microservices deployed to AWS, interacting with thousands of Android tablets using modern payments hardware. We deal with payments for processing, helping sync data across tablets, and functioning as a customer facing kiosk.
Some projects we’ve been recently working on include:
- Build a kiosk that allows customers to place their own orders
- A system that allows customers to take payments even while our primary credit card processor is offline
- Discount Engine for our customers to configure complex discount rules
As a Team Lead for one of Toast’s Payments teams, you will:
- Write code that reliably processes payments at scale, 24 hours a day
- Architect systems that can scale to hundreds of thousands of customers
- Collaborate with product management to define technical and product roadmaps
- Lead the team to execute on complex projects that improve functionality and reliability for your customers
- Mentor 3-5 engineers
If you’re someone that
- wants to work on systems that are critical to customer success
- enjoys devising technical solutions to solve complex business problems
- communicates clearly up, down and across teams
