The 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. Over 180,000 restaurant businesses run on Toast.
About the team
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our OLAP Platform team in Dublin. OLAP is the analytical data layer that powers real-time reporting, search and agentic data access for AI-driven products across Toast. We ingest events from across the business, index them into OpenSearch, and expose them to consumer teams through a federated GraphQL layer. One platform, many tenants, restaurant-critical latency and freshness.
The team is in a pivotal stretch of work: scaling the platform to support more domains and more consumers, keeping performance and cost in balance as it grows, and opening it up safely to the next wave of AI-driven products. This is platform engineering at real scale - the systems you build here are consumed by other engineering teams and, downstream, by the tens of thousands of restaurants that run on Toast.
What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)
• Strong backend engineering skills in Kotlin, Java, or another object-oriented language, with solid instincts around testing and code quality
• Experience working with large datasets, where correctness, freshness, and query performance all matter at the same time
• Comfort with document-based or columnar data stores (BigTable, DynamoDB or similar)
• A strong interest in core search engineering e.g. ranking algorithms, semantic search, natural language search etc
• Ability to work across team boundaries and pick up context quickly - OLAP touches almost every product area at Toast, and the work can be as much collaboration as execution
• The ability to break down a problem, understand what the consuming team actually needs, and ship a clean solu
