Senior Software Engineer - Technical Operations

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 Technical Operations team makes Toast's engineering measurable. We connect tool and resource usage, engineering metrics, and customer outcomes into a single, trusted picture that executives, engineering managers, and developers use every day. If you are passionate about turning complex business and engineering processes into something teams can actually see, so they can spot bottlenecks and opportunities before they become major problems, use resources wisely, and ultimately deliver a better customer experience, this team is for you.
