Companies you'll love to work for

Toast is driven by building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love. Because our technology is purpose-built for restaurants, by restaurant people, restaurants can trust that we’ll deliver on their needs for today while investing in experiences that will power their restaurant of the future.

Toast is looking for a Technical lead to join our Identity Management team to play a critical role in developing reliable code and algorithms in our user management, permission, and web services. We are looking for an engineer who has the ability and drive to make an impact, not only on their own but by also enabling those around them to succeed. Partnering with stakeholders, product managers, product designers, product data analysts, and other engineers, you will be part of a team responsible for ensuring that our practices in the development of our platform are safe and secure. You will also be responsible for developing and maintaining core services and repositories in Toast, including integrations, managing users, authentication, and permissions. The Toast platform processes tens of millions of requests per day, and this number grows constantly as we add new restaurants and integration partners to our system. The services we develop on this team are essential for Toast’s operation and their resilience and reliability are crucial from a business and user perspective.

If you want to help create something tangible that is used every day, help small businesses achieve their vision, and take on the challenge of scaling a SaaS product from millions of users to hundreds of millions of users, Toast is the place for you.
