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

As an engineer on this team, you’ll help define and build that foundation for how hundreds of care agents support tens of thousands of restaurants. You’ll drive the migration while also shaping what comes next—integrating backend systems, designing workflows, and continuously improving the experience based on how agents actually work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record building and operating production systems using Java, Kotlin, or other object-oriented languages
  • Experience designing and implementing AWS-native integrations, including Lambda-based access to backend services and event-driven architectures using services such as EventBridge or Kinesis
  • Proven ability to set technical direction for complex systems and lead work from architecture and design through launch, operation, and iteration
  • Demonstrated technical leadership, including driving alignment across engineering, product, operations, and business stakeholders
  • Experience integrating with third-party platforms and vendor systems while navigating external constraints and evolving APIs
  • Strong focus on reliability, security, and operational excellence, with an understanding of how system performance affects customers and business outcomes
More about this 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.

The Care Experience team builds the systems and tools Toast’s care agents rely on to support restaurants every day—the foundation behind every phone call, chat conversation, and support case.

This work directly determines how quickly restaurants get back up and running. When agents have fast, reliable tools with the right context, they resolve issues in minutes. When they don’t, resolution slows—and every delay in fixing a payment issue, menu problem, or device failure costs restaurants real revenue.

We’re rebuilding this experience from the ground up: migrating to a new omnichannel contact center platform and creating a true “single pane of glass” for agents. That means bringing together customer data, account context, device state, case history, and operational tools into one unified system—so agents can focus on solving problems, not piecing together information.
