Architect and operate Kotlin and AWS backend services and data pipelines for finance AI automation with focus on integration, auditability, and enterprise controls. | Staff-level leadership, deep distributed backend expertise, Kotlin or JVM language proficiency, AWS experience, and productionizing LLM and agentic workflows. | 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 Finance AI & Automation team within the Office of the CFO. In this role, you will serve as a primary technical authority and builder, transforming working AI prototypes into enterprise-grade backend microservices, data pipelines, and internal tools that eliminate manual friction across the finance stack. Sitting on a central Engineering team, you will bridge the gap between rapid AI innovation and robust systems architecture. While your primary mastery lies in distributed backend systems and event-driven integrations, you will also own the lightweight frontend UI surfaces and operator tools that allow Finance teams to interact with these automations seamlessly. A day in the life (Responsibilities) Hands-on Execution & Leadership: Spend the majority of your time "hands-on-keyboard," architecting, coding, and operating high-performance backend services using Kotlin and AWS. Productionize AI Workflows: Take working agentic prototypes built by Finance operators and turn them into scalable, monitored, and permissioned microservices with audit trails and automated error handling. End-to-End Internal Tooling: Build pragmatic, full-stack operator tools—from backend APIs and pipelines down to the lightweight UI surfaces used daily by collections analysts and revenue accountants to run and monitor automations safely. Integration & Systems Architecture: Design resilient integrations across billing platforms, ERP systems, Salesforce, data warehouses, and internal Toast services using enterprise integration patterns. Design for Enterprise Controls: Proactively engineer around SOX scope, PCI boundaries, and data access requirements alongside Security, Compliance, and Audit teams from day one. Technical Ownership & Strategic Handoffs: Own end-to-end technical strategy from high-level business problems down to build sequencing. Recognize when fixes belong in core Toast platforms, driving technical cases and clean handoffs rather than duplicating capabilities. What you'll need to thrive (Requirements) Backend-Focused with Pragmatic Full-Stack Reach: Proven track record as a Staff (or senior-level lead) engineer with deep expertise in distributed backend systems, paired with the practical ability to ship frontend UI surfaces or admin portals when an internal tool requires it. Production Kotlin & AWS: Advanced hands-on experience shipping Kotlin (or strong JVM equivalent) services on AWS, with deep familiarity in cloud-native backend patterns. Applied AI & Systems Fluency: Practical experience productionizing LLM frameworks and agentic architectures (tool use, retrieval/RAG, evals, context management) paired with strong judgment on when an AI agent is required versus a traditional backend system or cron job. Event-Driven & Integration Architecture: Extensive experience with enterprise integration frameworks, message brokers, and distributed data stores—specifically Apache Camel, Apache Pulsar, DynamoDB, and Dropwizard (or direct equivalents). Data Systems Depth: Advanced data engineering instincts across SQL, warehouse modeling, pipeline design, and managing data flow/consistency across relational and NoSQL storage systems. Pragmatic Technical Strategy & Communication: Ability to balance immediate high-impact automation with long-term platform scalability, accompanied by exceptional technical writing that translates complex architectural trade-offs to executive stakeholders. What will help you stand out (Nonessentials/Nice to Haves) Extensive background in Fintech, revenue systems, automated reconciliation, or operating within strict SOX/PCI control environments. Deep experience building internal platforms, administrative dashboards, or operator tooling for non-technical business users. Prior experience embedded directly alongside finance, revenue, or business ops functions to solve core operational scaling challenges.

Own Toast’s customer trust program and sales support while leading security governance, reporting, business operations, and security culture initiatives. | Requires experience building customer-facing security trust or assurance programs, strong program management and executive communication, and leadership of a team of 10 or more. | 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. Our customers trust us with their payments, their staff data, and the system their restaurant runs on. We hold ourselves to a high bar in protecting it. This role's job is to make that provable — to a restaurant group's IT team, to an enterprise procurement reviewer, and to a regulator — fast enough that security becomes a reason we win deals rather than a step that slows them down. This is one of the clearest expressions of a broader shift underway in Toast's new Trust & Security organization: moving from a compliance-led, reactive function toward one that's engineering-led and proactive, where trust is treated as a product rather than asserted in documents. Customer Trust is the business engine of that shift. The role has two halves, and we want to be upfront about that. The first is external customer-facing: you own how Toast demonstrates its security to the market. The second focuses on our internal customers and stakeholders: you own the planning and operating rhythm of the security organization itself. Both are senior work, and the combination will have significant impact across the company. A day in the life (Responsibilities) • Run the Customer Trust Program: Own the Trust Center, customer security reviews and questionnaires, and how we support the sales team. You own the customer-facing surface — the Trust Center, the review process, and the relationship with sales. Our Security Assurance & Compliance team produces the underlying evidence; you decide how it's presented and how fast it moves. • Lead Governance and Reporting: Own policy, security measurement, and the reporting rhythm for leadership, the board, and regulators, so each audience is working from a rhythm they trust. • Run Security Business Operations: Own portfolio management, joint planning, and workforce and budget planning for the security organization; write the budget and headcount case that leadership believes. • Build Security Culture: Build awareness and design our champions program so it extends the security function's reach without adding headcount. What you'll need to thrive (Requirements) • You've built a customer-facing trust or assurance program for a platform business — a Trust Center, a customer security review function, or a security sales-support motion. • You work comfortably where security, sales, and executive communication meet, and you can translate security posture into business terms. • Strong program and portfolio management, and you can write a budget and headcount case that people believe. • You've presented to executives, boards, and regulators. • You've led a team of 10 or more, including managers. What will help you stand out (Nonessential Skills/Nice to Haves) • Payments, fintech, or another regulated platform business. • A background spanning both a technical security function and a customer-facing one. • Experience turning a security program into an asset the sales team relies on.

Lead Trust & Security organization embedding security engineers into product teams to build automated security guardrails across application, cloud, and hardware security. | Extensive experience leading multi-team security engineering in cloud-native or SaaS environments with deep cloud-native security expertise and proven shift-left security implementation. | 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's platform runs restaurants: the cloud software, the payments, and the hardware on the counter. Keeping it safe is an engineering problem, and we treat it that way. Instead of reviewing what our teams build after the fact, we embed security engineers alongside developers and build paved roads to deliver secure defaults that teams pick up without asking permission. You'll lead that work as a flagship hire in Toast's new Trust & Security organization — a deliberate shift from a compliance-led, reactive security function toward one that's engineering-led and proactive. Reporting directly to the CISO, you'll be accountable for the security of the product end to end, owning the R&D relationship directly. You'll inherit an existing team of security engineers already doing this work, with plans to grow the team further as scope expands. This is not a compliance or audit-oriented role, and not a pure individual-contributor architect seat. You'll be leading and growing a team that already has engineering's attention — not selling security to a skeptical organization from scratch. If your instinct is to review and approve rather than to build and embed, this isn't the right seat. A day in the life (Responsibilities) Enable the Business to Lead with Security: Work closely with our product and engineering leaders to transform how security is built into our product portfolio, leveraging AI, automation, and innovation to enable both fast and secure capabilities to be delivered to our customers Lead Security Platform Engineering: Own the shared services, guardrails, and secure defaults that make the safe path the easy path for every product team; consolidate overlapping tooling into a coherent, self-service set of guardrails Drive Application & Cloud Security: Run our AppSec and CloudSec programs, secure development lifecycle, threat modeling, and software supply chain integrity; maintain a single owned view of product and cloud security posture with vulnerability SLAs met Build Developer Enablement: Grow embedding, tooling adoption, training, and a security champions network that extends the team's reach; enable paved roads with our highest-leverage R&D teams so engineering leaders describe security as a partner rather than a blocker Run Offensive Security & Vulnerability Management: Lead red team and penetration testing in a purple-team rhythm with detection engineering, and decide what gets fixed first; establish a working purple-team cadence with the detection function Own Hardware Security: Extend platform security practices into hardware as part of the broader product security remit Lead and Grow the Team: Lead the existing security engineering team, developing them and shaping how the function operates; identify and hire additional senior security engineers as scope and priorities expand What you'll need to thrive (Requirements) You've run a multi-team security engineering organization, rather than a single-team application security queue. Depth in cloud-native security: infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipeline security, containers, and microservices. You've shifted security left through self-service and paved roads, and you can show that developer friction went down while coverage went up. Senior engineering leaders have treated you as a peer. You've changed how a product organization builds, not just flagged what it built wrong. Judgment about where to automate, where to embed, and where to hold a line. A background in engineering or software development rather than traditional audit or consulting, ideally from a modern SaaS or cloud-native company rather than a heavily regulated, policy-driven environment. What will help you stand out (Nonessential Skills/Nice to Haves) A view on securing AI in a product. Experience and judgment negotiating compromise with engineering teams in difficult situations, without losing ground on the things that matter. Fintech background — helpful, though more relevant to other roles on the Trust & Security team than this one. AI at Toast At Toast, one of our company values is that we're hungry to build and learn.
