Job Overview:

The Data Platform team is looking for an experienced senior engineer who can help us grow and scale our consumer data platform.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Data Strategy team, you will be:

  • Designing, building, and refining scalable, high-throughput cloud data infrastructure
  • Creating and implementing user targeting and feature based recommendation systems
  • Contributing to the data flow architecture and integrating it into a variety of functional areas of the Toast app
  • Instrumenting code to provide visibility into systems’ end-to-end performance and correctness
  • Collaborating with product management and other platform and functional teams to deliver the best experience to Toast customers

Do you have the right ingredients?

  • Proficiency in Java, Scala, or Kotlin
  • Internal and external APIs design
  • A passion for learning, and building things that haven’t been built before
  • SaaS backend experience: microservices, and databases (relational or noSQL) and/or exposure to distributed computing is a plus
  • Prior Start-up experience is a plus

Our Tech Stack

Toast’s products run on a stack that ranges from guest and restaurant-facing Android tablets to backend services in Java to internal, guest-facing and restaurant-facing web apps. Our backend services follow a microservice architecture written using Java 8 and DropWizard; we use AWS extensively, ranging from S3 to RDS to Lambda. We have our own platform for dealing with user management, service elevations and robust load balancing. Toast stores data in a set of sharded Postgres databases and utilizes Apache Spark for large scale data workloads including query and batch processing. The front-end is built primarily using Angular and ES6, with newer components using React. The main Toast POS application is an Android application written in Java and Kotlin. For data between tablets and our cloud platform we operate RabbitMQ clusters as well as direct tablet communication to the back end.
