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.

As the Director of Engineering for Retail, you will be the primary technical owner of Toast’s highest-growth business unit - a

$50M+ "startup" currently doubling year-over-year.

We’re bringing the same all-in-one platform beloved by restaurants to a whole new segment of businesses. You are responsible for

building a delightful, flexible, and scalable platform that serves the unique needs of businesses across a wide variety of retail

personas. You will own everything from agentic inventory automation, to optimizing the POS for high-throughput checkout

experiences, and everything in between.

A DAY IN THE LIFE (RESPONSIBILITIES)

Own the Retail Technical Strategy: Mandate to move beyond siloed feature development to build a unified, extensible retail core

that supports a wide variety of retail personas at scale

Architect for Resilience: Ensure high availability and blazing fast performance at the edge; you will oversee the

infrastructure that keeps our high-volume retailers up and running regardless of connectivity

Deploy Autonomous Systems: Lead the move from manual and labor-intensive inventory management to AI-driven autonomous systems,

saving hours of time and unlocking new operational efficiencies for thousands of customers

Raise Talent Density: Uplevel the engineering organization by identifying and attracting top-tier talent and coaching existing

managers to operate as high-autonomy owners

Own the Outcome: Partner with Product and Design to drive the P&L of the Retail business, managing the immediate delivery of

the Retail POS and Purchasing & Receiving squads while developing a long-term strategy for the Grocery persona

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO THRIVE (REQUIREMENTS)

Platform-First Mindset: You have a track record of building configurable platforms rather than just collections of features
Systems Architect Background: Deep experience with distributed systems and edge computing. You know how to build software that

is bulletproof in high-pressure, real-world physical environments

High-Growth "Builder" DNA: You have led engineering teams through the "1-to-10" scale phase at a high-growth startup and know

how to maintain velocity while increasing technical rigor

Obsession with Data Integrity: Experience solving complex inventory, supply chain, or financial reconciliation problems where

data accuracy is the difference between a successful business and a failed audit

Drives Exceptional Outcomes: You hold an incredibly high bar for talent and execution. You are a "leader of leaders" who

empowers managers but stays close enough to the metal to spot architectural flaws

Strategic Influence: You can navigate high-stakes cross-functional relationships, moving beyond "feature requests" to influence

the fundamental business strategy through technical innovation
