Senior Software Engineer
Now, more than ever, the Toast team is committed to our customers. We’re taking steps to help restaurants navigate these unprecedented times with technology, resources, and community. Our focus is on building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love. And because our technology is purpose-built for restaurants, by restaurant people, restaurants can trust that we’ll deliver on their needs for today while investing in experiences that will power their restaurant of the future.
Food delivery is a multi-billion dollar a year opportunity for our restaurants, who rely on a combination of their own drivers and third-party platforms such as Grubhub and DoorDash to reach a wide pool of guests. Delivery has become even more critical to our restaurants during covid restrictions! At Toast, we’re helping our restaurants to realize this opportunity by:
- Putting the restaurant first and enabling them to easily choose, sign up, and configure the best ordering and delivery platforms for their business
- Smoothly integrating delivery orders into our restaurants’ kitchens and operations
- Ensuring food reaches its destination quickly and accurately, with minimal wait time for drivers and guests
Our 3POD Team (Third-party Ordering and Delivery) tackles this mission with a broad set of technologies including React SPAs, inbound and outbound APIs, and Java/Kotlin services running in AWS. The 3POD team collaborates with many engineering teams at Toast (Orders, Menus, Online Ordering, and more) to offer end-to-end solutions that help restaurants succeed and provide guests with great food at home. Pulling it all together requires building great technology, analyzing real-world data to optimize operations, and focusing on the user experience of restaurant staff and delivery drivers.
