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’re not your traditional tech company and we don’t aim to be. Going against the grain is in our DNA. Building a revolutionary product begins with revolutionary thinking. That’s why we value diversity of background and lived experience. Together, we empower restaurants of all sizes to build great teams, increase revenue, improve operations, and delight their guests. We pair our deep understanding of the restaurant industry with powerful cloud based software and restaurant-grade hardware to deliver an intuitive all-in-one platform. Join us on our mission to empower the restaurant community to delight guests, do what they love, and thrive.

Payment processing is a key source of Toast’s revenue and also the lifeblood of our customers; we process millions of dollars in transactions per day.

We are seeking a Software Engineer II to join our Payments team. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of our unified payment processing solution.

  • Roll* features out to customers, including monitoring for success
  • Collaborate with UX and PM on the definition and design of features
  • Partner with a wide array of teams across Toast
  • Work with experienced engineers to deliver design and code review

Do you have the right ingredients*? (Requirements)

  • 2+ years of experience in designing and implementing robust backend services using Kotlin.
  • Proven ability to develop scalable and secure APIs that integrate with various internal/external systems.
  • Knowledge of best practices in API lifecycle management, including versioning, documentation, and deprecation strategies.
  • Proficiency in Kotlin-specific frameworks and libraries for building efficient backend solutions.
  • Demonstrated experience with microservices architecture and containerization technologies for enhanced scalability and maintainability.

Special Sauce* (Nice to Haves)

  • Proficiency in DynamoDB
  • Proficiency in Kotlin (or Java and willing to learn Kotlin) and Kotlin-specific frameworks and libraries for building efficient backend solutions
  • Familiarity with AI-augmented development workflows and tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or similar)
