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.

The Toast POS app is the central pillar of Toast’s restaurant products. Every day, many thousands of servers, hosts, bartenders, and chefs use Toast’s POS to serve millions of guests! 

At Toast, Android isn’t just one of multiple mobile platforms -- Android is the foundational technology stack for our POS products. In fact, Toast designs and sells our own specialized Android tablets so we can provide the best integrated hardware/software products.  

Our POS Tables and Orders Workflow team is responsible for managing some of the restaurant's most essential workflows, including processing on-premise and off-premise orders, seating guests in service areas, and assigning servers to tables. These functions are supported by a coordinated network of tablets and peripherals that operate typically for 10 to 12 hours a day. It is crucial for the POS system to perform at peak speed, and in the event of network issues, it must remain operational. Meeting these rigorous demands requires us to push our technology stack to its limits.

While the technical challenges are significant, the impact of our work on customers is both immediate and substantial. Our customers rely on the POS throughout the day. By designing new features with exceptional user experience, we enhance staff satisfaction, improve the guest experience, and positively affect the restaurant's profitability. Even small changes can yield considerable benefits. Innovative features from Toast empower our restaurants to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving industry.

We are looking for an experienced technologist with a proven track record of driving cross-team impact to join our POS Tables and Orders Workflow team. This hands-on technical role involves significant technical design, collaboration across POS and Fintech teams, and large-scale problem-solving.
