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.
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. We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Orders API team.
On the Orders API team, our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art platform with unmatched reliability, which empowers Toast R&D, external partners, and customers to effortlessly innovate on experiences throughout the order lifecycle. Our primary artifact is the Orders API itself, which handles an immense scale of traffic.
Our backend services follow a microservice architecture written in Kotlin and Java using DropWizard. We use AWS extensively, ranging from DynamoDB to RDS to Lambda. We store data in a set of sharded Postgres databases and utilize Apache Spark for large-scale data workloads including query and batch processing. For event-driven communication we rely on Pulsar along with some RabbitMQ clusters. We have our own platform for user management, canary deployments, and robust load balancing.
