À propos de ce poste Senior Software Engineer, Toast Delivery Services chez Toast
Location: Hybrid in Boston/NY preferred; open to remote working US East Coast (EST/EDT) hours.
Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with the ability and drive to make an impact, not only on their own but by also enabling those around them to succeed. Play a key role in building the product that puts restaurants in control of their own delivery.
As a member of the Toast Delivery Services team, you will build the software that turns a tap on a phone into a hot meal at someone's door. Our systems find a driver, price the delivery, and keep everyone honest about where the food is right now. This is software with a physical world attached: the clock is always running, the map is never perfect, and every decision your code makes shows up as a real person waiting on their dinner.
A day in the life (Responsibilities)
- Design, build, deploy, and maintain highly resilient and scalable systems critical to our customers' success.
- Build the real-time backbone that keeps restaurants and guests confident about where an order is and when it will land.
- Work with product managers and designers to get money movement right, from delivery pricing through refunds, where correctness is not negotiable.
- Tackle scaling challenges and implement robust solutions.
- Advocate for best coding practices, raising the bar for yourself, your team, and the company.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to other team members.
What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)
- Knowledge of Kotlin, Java or another object-oriented language
- Experienced with databases (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB) including schema design and optimization.
- In-depth understanding of microservices, distributed systems, and enterprise messaging.
- Proven track record of delivering reliable services to production.
- Comfort with systems where partner APIs, real-world timing, and imperfect data are the normal operating conditions.
- The capacity to tackle complex and ambiguous problems, communicate clearly with others to solve the problem, and share knowledge to help the whole team succeed
- Driven by real-world customer impact
Special Sauce* (Nice to Haves)
- Experience with logistics, mapping, or other systems that model the physical world
- Background in payments, refunds, or financial reconciliation
- Proficient in modern web technologies and UI frameworks (e.g., React, Javascript, TypeScript, REST, GraphQL)
