Remote · United States$12,583–25,750 gross/mofull-timeToast Careers

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to set the technical direction for how Toast engineers build software. You'll pick the highest-leverage problems in the developer workflow, design solutions that work across hundreds of services and many teams, and stay hands-on while you build them.

Responsibilities

  • Set technical direction and long-term architecture across Developer Experience's areas: local development, build tooling, shared libraries, and the developer portal.
  • Oversee the architecture of the testing frameworks and core libraries used for developing web services.
  • Stay hands-on: design, build, and ship the highest leverage and most cross-cutting parts of the platform yourself.
  • Collaborate with Product using data and direct engineer feedback to find the biggest sources of friction in the developer workflow, and help turn them into a prioritized, measurable roadmap.
  • Design self-service golden paths and paved roads that let product teams create and evolve services with minimal friction or hand-holding.
  • Drive technical alignment with partner teams in areas like AI, CICD and Cloud Infrastructure so the end-to-end developer journey feels like one cohesive experience.
  • Partner with customer-facing teams to align developer platform solutions with customer and business needs.
  • Raise the bar across the team through design reviews, mentorship, and code-pairing, and by growing other engineers into technical leaders.
  • Do you have the right ingredients*? (Requirements)
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
