Senior Backend Engineer (Data Integrations)

• The Technical Operations team makes Toast’s engineering measurable. We connect tool and resource usage, engineering metrics, and customer outcomes into a single, trusted picture that executives, engineering managers, and developers use every day
• We are a small, highly leveraged team. We index heavily into agentic engineering: AI agents are part of how we design, build, test, and operate our systems, and we expect you to push that frontier with us
• Serve as the team’s technical lead, owning the end-to-end architecture and direction of our services, internal tools, and data systems, and driving significant projects from design through rollout
• Design and build the backend services and integrations that ingest engineering, tooling, and cost signals from multiple source systems, with clear APIs and data contracts rather than manual extracts
• Partner with our Product Owner to identify and define the biggest opportunities for impact, and collaborate with your teammates on end-to-end solutions
• Build the back-end that enables role-based reporting on engineering health, AI and tooling spend and ROI, and cost and capitalization, replacing recurring manual processes with durable, auditable, productized tools & analytics
• Own quality, reliability, and operational monitoring for business-critical reporting that leaders at every level depend on
• Mentor less experienced engineers and up-level the team through design reviews, constructive feedback, and agent-assisted engineering practices
