Responsibilities
- Help shape our tip and earnings calculation platform — building the systems that determine how restaurant employees are paid, starting with Tips Manager and expanding toward a full earnings source of truth.
- Build, run, and improve core backend services alongside a collaborative, supportive team.
- Be a part of the organization with a strong focus on engineering culture and full end-to-end ownership.
- Participate across the full development lifecycle — design, estimation, implementation, testing, debugging, and deployment — while learning and applying best practices for building correct, reliable calculation systems at scale.
- Ship code that directly impacts Tips Manager revenue and the accuracy of earnings for restaurant employees across Toast's network.
- Partner with product and design to influence what we build and how we build it.
- Participate in thoughtful code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback.
Requirements
- Experience with one or more object-oriented programming languages (such as Java, Kotlin, or similar).
- An appreciation for precision and correctness — when the output drives someone's paycheck, getting the calculation right matters.
- Willingness to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve system performance through logging and metrics.
- Ability and motivation to learn quickly and apply knowledge to solve real problems.
- A hunger to take on challenging problems where correctness and scale go hand in hand.
- Above all, we’re looking for a strong engineer with solid fundamentals.
Conditions
- Leverage cutting edge AI tools to enhance your development workflow, improve velocity, and help pioneer new approaches to building - contributing to a culture of innovation and productivity across the team.
- We embrace a hybrid work model that fosters in-person collaboration while valuing individual needs.
- Our total rewards package goes beyond great earnings potential and provides the means to a healthy lifestyle with the flexibility to meet Toasters’ changing needs.
