Software Engineer

We’re the partially brown, partially golden, never totally finished piece of toast. Our software is never going to be perfect in our minds. There will always be new features we can offer our customers, and a million ways we can continue to innovate and improve. We always strive to go above and beyond so any foodservice establishment looking to improve their operational efficiency and bottom line can take advantage of our software.

Toast is looking for self-motivated individuals who love building great software. We work extensively with Android, iOS, and web front ends, using Java (Play framework) back end infrastructure on Heroku. We work hard to provide a well designed user interface for our customers and to provide the infrastructure stability necessary so that this complex distributed system "just works". We need talented engineers to build and maintain the highest quality product as our vision moves forward.
