Your work will directly enable Toast product delivery across our Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC).\nFor this role it is a requirement that you 5+ years of industry experience \nKey Responsibilities\n Online Databases and Storage: Architect, deploy, and manage low-latency, highly available storage solutions (RDS Postgres and Aurora Postgres; DynamoDB; OpenSearch; S3) to power applications across the Toast product ecosystem.\nHigh Availability & Realtime Performance: Ensure sub-second end-user latency, near-zero-downtime reliability, and high throughput across storage engines to support Toast's products across POS, phone, computer, drive-thru, and kiosk interfaces.\nInfrastructure for AI-Driven PDLC: Automate infrastructure provisioning and compute pipelines.\nCost Optimization & Performance Engineering: Right-size compute/storage resources, implement auto-scaling policies, and manage AWS infrastructure costs without compromising platform reliability or latency SLAs.\nRequired Qualifications\n1. Core Infrastructure & Automation\n Cloud & Infrastructure as Code: Hands-on experience building and managing scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.).\nSoftware Development: Fluency in Python, Go, or a similar language for infrastructure automation, tooling, or backend development.\n2. Storage & Compute Operations\n Databases: Deep experience operating and tuning enterprise databases at scale. This should include at least one variety of relational database (such as Postgres, Oracle, or MySQL) and at least one type of nonrelational database (such as MongoDB, DynamoDB, Opensearch).\n Containerization: Experience working with containerized environments and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, ECS, Kubernetes).\n3. Systems Reliability & Observability\nSolid understanding of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles, including monitoring, alerting, health checks, and performance troubleshooting in high-traffic environments.\nPreferred Qualifications \nObservability & Telemetry with Datadog, Prometheus\nAI/ML Infrastructure support\nCloud Cost Optimization\nOur Tech Stack\nToast’s commercial products run on a stack that ranges from guest and restaurant-facing Android tablets to backend microservices, guest- and restaurant-facing web apps, payment systems, event buses, and more. \nThe Infrastructure Engineering group manages Toast's infrastructure via the AWS API, using configuration management tools like Terraform, Ansible, and internally developed clients using Python and Go. We rely heavily on Datadog and Splunk for monitoring and observability and on FireHydrant for alerting and incident response.\nInfrastructure Engineering provides the products and services to support, deploy, and monitor our product suite, which uses a microservice architecture written using JVM and Node.js apps. AWS products are also in heavy usage, ranging from S3 to RDS, DynamoDB, ECS, Lambda, and many others. We have our own platform for user management, service discovery/elevations, and load balancing. We use Apache Spark for large scale data workloads including query and batch processing. The main Toast POS application is an Android application written in Java and Kotlin. For data synchronization between tablets and our cloud platform we operate RabbitMQ and Apache Pulsar clusters as well as direct tablet communication to the applications' RESTful and GraphQL APIs.\nWhy Join Us?\nYou will be at the ground floor of building the data-storage systems that powers our flagship products. You'll solve complex, high-scale infrastructure challenges at the intersection of distributed storage and compute.\n** This is a hybrid role requiring in-office presence two days per week ***\n#LI-HYBRID\n#BI-Hybrid\nHow Toast Uses AI in its Hiring Process\nThroughout the hiring process, our goal is to get to know you.
