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, hundreds of thousands of servers, hosts, bartenders, and chefs use it to serve millions of guests. Android is the foundation of our POS stack. Toast even designs and sells its own specialized Android tablets, so we can build the best integrated hardware and software products.

Our POS Payments Experience team powers some of the restaurant's most critical workflows (checking out and taking payments) across a coordinated network of tablets and peripherals that are typically used 10-12 hours a day. The POS needs to work as fast as possible, and if the network has problems, it needs to keep running. Meeting these requirements means pushing our technology stack to the limits. The impact is tangible and direct: small changes in the tightest loops pay off many thousands of times over, improving staff job satisfaction, the guest experience, and the restaurant's bottom line.

We are seeking a seasoned Engineering Manager to lead the POS Payments Experience team. You will lead a high-performing team of engineers who work hand-in-hand with PM and UX, and partner across POS and Fintech teams. Engineers on the team also contribute to our web-based POS payments configuration experience.
