Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives. Come join us for the ride! Role overview The DevX PaaS team builds and operates CarGurus' Kubernetes-based developer platform that enables product teams to ship quickly, reliably, and at scale. We're a sub-team within Developer Experience in Engineering Platform, partnering across engineering to remove friction, modernize our stack, and accelerate time-to-market. This is a player-coach leadership role. As Team Lead, you'll own the day-to-day leadership of a small team of engineers — running ceremonies, planning quarterly capacity, growing the people on your team, and serving as the primary point of contact for PaaS across Engineering Platform — while staying technically hands-on enough to make meaningful contributions on our most important platform work — autoscaling, agentic automation of cluster maintenance and upgrades, service discovery, and the continued evolution of our proprietary Mach5 platform with AWS-native capabilities. You'll be the connective tissue between our platform's technical direction and the developers who depend on it every day. Three big bets anchor the team's near-term direction: keeping Kubernetes healthy and cost-efficient through autoscaling and increasingly automated maintenance; piloting an AI-assisted support model for developer questions (starting with PaaS); and standing up service discovery (and eventually service mesh) to simplify how services connect. Everything below ladders up to these themes. What you'll do Lead the team * Own team operations for DevX PaaS: run 1:1s, sprint ceremonies, and quarterly capacity and project planning, and represent PaaS in Engineering Platform planning and prioritization forums. * Grow the engineers on your team through coaching, feedback, and equitable allocation of high-impact, growth-oriented work — including an "epic lead" model where engineers own end-to-end delivery of major initiatives. * Shape the team's quarterly portfolio so that the team's energy is spent on the highest-leverage work, balancing a heavy load of non-discretionary platform work (upgrades, migrations, maintenance, on-call) against modernization and strategic initiatives. * Be the primary point of contact for PaaS across Engineering Platform — framing problems, aligning on scope, and making sure downstream teams understand impacts and timelines. Drive the platform (hands-on) * Help design, build, and operate the Kubernetes platform on AWS EKS with a focus on reliability, security, and developer ergonomics (multi-env, multi-region). * Guide the team's Controller/Operator and deployment model (e.g., CGService) to provide consistent, self-service delivery across repositories and environments. * Lead critical upgrades and rollouts: Kubernetes, Rancher, and routine add-on upgrades utilizing ArgoCD and HCP Terraform. * Set the direction for autoscaling across product and EP services — driving automated scale-down, day-2 EKS optimizations, and cost/performance wins in partnership with product teams. * Champion agentic and AI-assisted workflows for cluster maintenance — automating EKS upgrades, PR generation, and bundled maintenance to reduce manual toil and create predictable, low-disruption maintenance windows. * Advance service discovery (and eventually service mesh) to provide a robust, automated way for services to find and communicate with each other, reducing hard-coded dependencies and improving system resilience. * Expand our proprietary Mach5 platform with AWS-native capabilities, continuing to shield developers from Kubernetes complexity while modernizing the underlying stack. * Guide remaining platform modernization, including the tail end of the ingress-nginx retirement / Gateway API migration, to simplify developer configuration and reduce operational toil. * Pilot a more scalable, AI-assisted support model for developer questions — starting with PaaS — by curating documentation, embedding AI into the support flow, and reducing the manual triage burden on the team. * Raise platform reliability by hardening alerting/runbooks and participating in the team's on-call rotation with sensible, business-hours expectations and documented handoffs. Communicate and partner * Represent PaaS in EP-level forums (all-hands, capacity planning, leads meetings), translating technical trade-offs into clear, audience-appropriate language for both engineers and executive stakeholders. * Build relationships across DevX, Engineering Platform, and product teams to advocate for the platform work that matters and to keep partners aligned and informed. * Champion a healthy, customer-centric operating model where platform priorities are visible and traceable to the outcomes our customer teams care about. What you'll bring * 5+ years of experience as a software engineer in a professional setting, with some experience leading projects, mentoring engineers, or acting as a tech lead / team lead. * Deep Kubernetes/EKS experience operating production workloads at scale, with proficiency in containerization and cloud environments. * Strong Go (or equivalent) systems programming skills; familiarity with controller/operator patterns is a plus. * AWS fluency across core primitives (networking, IAM, load balancing, storage) and platform guardrails. * Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, GitHub-based workflows) and CI/CD automation. * An observability and SRE mindset: metrics, tracing, logging, SLOs, incident response, and post-incident learning. * A security-by-default bent: policy-as-code (e.g., Kyverno), least-privilege, image/runtime controls. * People leadership instincts: you enjoy growing engineers, running a calm and predictable team, and making sharp prioritization calls under competing demands. * Developer empathy and clear communication; you enjoy building paved roads that hundreds of engineers can rely on, and you can tailor your message to both technical and non-technical audiences. * An enthusiasm for leveraging AI to accelerate both your team's work and how the platform enables engineering.

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. 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 are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Orders Pricing team. Orders Pricing team owns how every order is priced — the rules, discounts, taxes, and service charges that determine what a guest pays. Our pricing engine has to be exactly right, every time, across an immense scale of traffic and every surface an order touches, from the cloud to the point of sale. The pricing engine is a critical part of the company strategy as we expand into new verticals, encountering new complexities and pricing rules. WHY THIS TEAM? * Correctness at Scale: Pricing has to be exactly right on every order, every time. Getting it wrong costs restaurants and guests real money — accuracy is non-negotiable. * Hard Problems: Discounts, taxes, and service charges stack into complex rules — we turn that complexity into a fast, reliable engine. * Leadership and Ownership: You’ll drive significant projects end-to-end and help grow the engineers around you. ABOUT THIS ROLL* (RESPONSIBILITIES) * Drive significant projects from design through rollout, owning the technical direction and delivery * Design and implement pricing features that improve accuracy and reliability for our customers and partners * Mentor less experienced engineers and raise the technical bar across the team * Participate in architectural discussions and help evolve the pricing engine’s design, tooling, and delivery practices * Provide design feedback and participate in code reviews to ensure implementations meet requirements * Own operational monitoring — observability, alerting, and on-call response — and keep pricing highly available in production * Collaborate with Product, QA, and other engineering teams to deliver robust, scalable services * Leverage cutting edge AI tools to enhance your development workflow, improve velocity, and help pioneer new approaches to building - contributing to a culture of innovation and productivity across the team. DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS*? (REQUIREMENTS) * 5+ years of back-end experience in Java, Kotlin, or other object-oriented languages * Track record of driving significant projects from design through rollout * Proficient with modern web standards and API technologies (e.g. REST, GraphQL), including schema design, evolution, and versioning * Experience with distributed systems, enterprise messaging systems, and/or microservices * Experience operating services in production — monitoring, alerting, observability, and incident response * Proficient with relational databases and alternative data stores * Proficient with AI tooling such as Cursor, Claude, and MCP servers * Strong leadership and mentoring skills * Excellent cross-team communication skills on complex technical topics * Passionate about technology and learning new things OUR TECH STACK Our backend services follow a microservice architecture written in Kotlin and Java using DropWizard. We use AWS extensively, ranging from DynamoDB to RDS to Lambda. We store data in a set of sharded Postgres databases and utilize Apache Spark for large-scale data workloads including query and batch processing. For event-driven communication we rely on Pulsar along with some RabbitMQ clusters. Pricing also reaches onto the point of sale, so some contributions land in our Android POS application written in Java and Kotlin.
