Engineering Lead (New Ventures)

Join Toast's New Ventures team, a startup-like environment within the company. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work across the entire stack, from backend services to web front ends and Android apps. You'll need to be comfortable learning new platforms and have a strong interest in customer needs and product development. The role offers unlimited vacation, a sabbatical opportunity after five years, and various other benefits.

Responsibilities

• Construire des services backend, des API et des modèles de données, des interfaces web et des applications Android.
• Collaborer étroitement avec une petite équipe interfonctionnelle pour mettre rapidement les produits entre les mains des clients.
• Démontrer un haut degré de responsabilité dans tous les aspects du développement, y compris les tests, l'instrumentation, la maintenance et le nettoyage.

Requirements

• Demonstrated ability to deliver clean, maintainable, resilient code that withstands the test of time
• A credible track record of learning a new language, framework, or platform on the job and shipping production code in it
• Experience in 0→1 builds, and high comfort with shifting priorities and incomplete requirements
• A track record of shipping meaningful product to real users, with clear technical and business impact
• Comfort with modern web front-end development (React or similar) and an eye for a usable interface
• Genuine fullstack range: you've owned features from backend service and API through to the client, and you have a real opinion about both ends
• Solid backend fundamentals (Java, Kotlin, or similar) — distributed systems, asynchronous communication, event-driven architecture, API design, and integration patterns
• A clear pattern of using AI tools to accelerate your work, and the ability to speak specifically about how you use them to ship better work faster
• Strong communication and collaboration skills — you can write up a technical design, get alignment on it, and work well with product and design partners
• You've been the person on a team who fills whatever gap is open — and you enjoyed it
• Experience with point-of-sale, payments, hardware-adjacent, or offline-first systems
• You've worked on early-stage products, internal incubations, or rapid experimentation teams
• Android development experience, particularly production Kotlin (or Java alongside it)
