Senior Software Engineer, Mobile DevOps

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 Toast POS app is the central pillar of Toast’s restaurant products. Every day, hundreds of thousands of servers, hosts, bartenders, and chefs use Toast’s POS to serve millions of guests. Our POS product is constantly evolving, and the POS Productivity team builds the platform that makes this evolution possible.

Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for 150+ Android engineers to develop new features and deliver them with high confidence and quality. We are customer-obsessed—our customers are our fellow developers, and luckily for us, they are just a Slack message away! We strive to make it easy for people to do the right thing by default.

The team manages a broad technical domain, including CI/CD, the local developer experience, and release engineering for the POS app. Its projects cover Android app development, Java and Kotlin backend services in AWS, React UIs, and more. The team is an excellent fit for Android engineers with experience with mobile DevOps–CI/CD, and build and release processes.

The team’s current primary goals are boosting build speeds and significantly reducing our lead time to value by optimizing POS developers’ build/test cycles, and making updates to the mobile app release platform to allow Toast to manage concurrent releases across multiple projects.
