About Toast

Toast is a restaurant point of sale and management system that helps restaurants improve operations, increase sales and create a better guest experience. Backed by Bessemer and GV.

About the role

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. At Toast, Talent Acquisition runs on its tools. Greenhouse, GoodTime, and BrightHire are where every requisition, interview, and hiring decision actually happens — and no single person owns them end-to-end today. That is this role. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in HR or TA systems, People Systems, or a closely adjacent systems role, including hands-on ownership of an ATS at scale. Greenhouse experience strongly preferred
  • Proven experience with gathering business requirements, translating into technical solutions, and ultimately bringing solutions to life (project management, UAT, release management, and prod support)
  • Deep, current administrative expertise in at least one core recruiting platform, and a demonstrated ability to get to that depth quickly on new ones
  • Real technical fluency: comfortable with REST APIs, webhooks, and JSON, experienced with iPaaS or middleware tooling (Workato, Tray, Merge, Zapier, or similar)
  • Experience integrating an ATS with an HRIS (Workday, UKG, or similar) and a working understanding of where recruiting data goes downstream and why it matters
  • Proven vendor management experience: renewals, escalations, and holding a partner to their commitments

As a Principal TA Systems Architect, you will be the technical owner of the TA tech stack: the person who configures it, integrates it, secures it, measures it, and decides where it goes next. You will partner closely with the TA Operations who live in these systems every day, with the broader People Systems and People Analytics teams who own the HRIS and downstream data, and with IT, Security, Legal, and Procurement on access, privacy, and purchasing. You will own the vendor relationships — roadmap conversations, renewals, escalations — and hold our partners to a standard.

This is an individual contributor role today with a clear path to building and leading a small team as the function scales. If you want to own a domain, be the deepest expert in the building on it,...
