Why be a Toaster?

Toast is looking for self-motivated individuals who love building great software and want to have fun while doing it. We work extensively with Android, iOS, and web front ends, using Java (Play framework) back end infrastructure on Heroku. We work hard to provide a well designed user interface for our customers and to provide the infrastructure stability necessary so that this complex distributed system "just works". We need talented engineers to build and maintain the highest quality product as our vision moves forward.

Responsibilities

* Work on a small team of 3-5 engineers, responsible for entire modules of the Toast product

* Architect, build, and maintain high performance, flexible, and highly scalable web and mobile applications

* Participate in designing, estimating effort, implementing, testing, debugging, configuring, integrating and documenting database, middle-tier and front-end code

* Diagnose performance bottlenecks and implement optimizations

* Think in terms of the end-user and design accordingly

* Survey and evaluate available technology options

* Actively contribute to product design and feature selection discussions

* Participate in code reviews to ensure technical implementations meet functional requirements

Desired Skills

* Deep Java development experience

* Mobile software development experience, preferably with Android

* Well-versed in tiered web application architecture and databases

* Proficient in the web front-end basics - HTML, CSS and JavaScript (jQuery)

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. 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.

Aja Sullivan

DEI Manager (she/her)

Baking an Inclusive Culture

An expansive diversity, equity and inclusion program

In 2023, Aja Sullivan’s DEI team is prioritizing representation, belonging and building an inclusive culture where Toasters can thrive. What is she looking forward to the most? “I am really excited to continue building our DEI external partnership strategy and understanding the impact we’re making,” she said. With a fortified internal DEI framework, Sullivan is thrilled to work on external programs, including working closely with customers, expanding Toast’s network of partnerships and highlighting her teams' great accomplishments.

I want all Toasters to feel comfortable and safely be their true selves.

Herb Dilema

Senior Director, Customer Care (he/him)

Toast Together, Grow Together

Belonging provides a foundation for employees to rise

Working in customer care for a round-the-clock business like the restaurant industry poses unique challenges and opportunities for Herb Dilema’s team. To ensure each individual feels connected and supported in their roles, Dilema has focused on ensuring everyone gets facetime with their direct managers as often as possible. By emphasizing connection on his teams, Dilema strives to make Toast feel like a home, not just a job. With this foundation of inclusion, Dilema hopes to see each individual take ownership of their career and grow with support from the company.

When an individual is able to be comfortable not only in their role but in their environment, we see their best self and in turn, we know that they will grow and prosper at Toast.

Carlos Diaz

Senior District Sales Manager (he/him)

Inclusive Remote Culture

Connecting employees all around the world

Diaz is one of the many Toasters who have always worked remotely, and will continue to do so. His team is able to connect with the territories they serve, while also strengthening their relationships with other Toasters all over the world through virtual programming and tools for collaboration. With remote employees across the U.S., Ireland and India, fostering an inclusive and engaging remote culture is a must at Toast.

Even though many of us are fully remote or hybrid, it feels like family, and everyone knows each other well. Virtual events help introduce us to other people and teams outside of our usual work environment.
