Hands-on Staff Software Engineer on Toast's GTM & AI Strategy team, building 0-to-1 internal AI products for sales teams: productionizing agentic workflows and RAG pipelines and wiring them into a custom quoting engine, Salesforce, and internal data lakes using backend skills in Java, Go, or Python.
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 looking for a hands-on Staff Software Engineer to join the GTM & AI Strategy Engineering team. In this role, you will be a primary builder of 0-to-1 tools designed to revolutionize how our sales teams operate. This isn't about maintaining legacy systems; it’s about writing the code and building the intelligence models that eliminate friction across the Go-To-Market stack.
As a technical lead, you will be responsible for building and productionizing agentic workflows and RAG pipelines to automate sales processes. You will integrate AI services into the tech stack while maintaining rigorous standards for observability and performance monitoring.
A day in the life (Responsibilities)
Hands-on Execution: Spend the majority of your time "hands-on-keyboard", architecting and coding high-performance backend services and ML pipelines.
