Description
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale the platforms that calculate and deliver pay to restaurant employees.
You'll lead highly visible, mission-critical infrastructure that determines what employees take home, and that powers products restaurant teams rely on every day.
Responsibilities:
- Drive the evolution of our tips and earnings platforms, leading complex projects that improve functionality and reliability for our customers.
- Take end-to-end ownership of systems, contributing to a strong engineering culture focused on correctness, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
- Lead projects from design and estimation through implementation, testing, and deployment to help shape how we build reliable systems at scale.
- Ship code that directly impacts product revenue and the accuracy of what restaurant employees are paid.
- Partner with product and design to influence what we build and how we build it.
- Contribute to and elevate team standards through thoughtful code reviews and technical discussions.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to other team members.
- Leverage AI tools like Claude to accelerate development and pioneer better ways to work.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of back-end experience with one or more object-oriented programming languages (such as Java, Kotlin, or similar).
- Proficient with modern web standards and technologies (e.g. React, TypeScript, REST, GraphQL).
- Proficient with traditional databases and alternative data stores.
- Experience owning and operating production systems.
- Experience with distributed systems, enterprise messaging systems, and/or microservices.
- A strong appreciation for precision and correctness, because when the output drives someone's paycheck, getting the calculation right matters.
- A track record of tackling ambiguous, high-impact challenges and delivering scalable solutions.
- Excellent cross-team communication skills on complex technical topics.
- Passionate about technology and learning new things.
Our total rewards package includes:
- Competitive compensation
- Cash compensation (overtime, bonus/commissions if eligible)
- Equity
- Benefits (learn more at https://careers.toasttab.com/toast-benefits)
