About the team

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Toast Reporting Experience (T-REX) team in Dublin. T-REX owns the reporting and analytics layer that restaurant owners use to understand and run their businesses - turning the wealth of data that flows through Toast into clear actionable insights. When a restaurant owner checks their sales trends labour costs or menu performance thats T-REX.

The team is in the middle of a significant evolution. Weve spent the past year building the foundations - a modern reporting stack shared UI components OpenSearch-backed data pipelines - and were now shipping the features that sit on top of it. The work ahead spans AI-native integrations natural language interfaces and expanding the data layer that powers intelligent experiences across Toast. These are hands-on engineering problems at the intersection of product data and AI.

What youll need to thrive (Requirements)

• Strong backend engineering skills in Kotlin Java or another object-oriented language with solid instincts around testing and code quality
• Experience designing and building APIs and frameworks that other teams depend on - platform thinking not just feature delivery
• Experience with GraphQL and REST API design
• Comfortable working on AI-native features and cross-team integrations - this work spans multiple systems and requires collaboration as much as execution
• The ability to take a complex business problem understand what the user actually needs and build something that solves it cleanly
• You use AI tooling as a genuine part of your workflow not an afterthought
• You care about the people using what you build - not just whether it works but whether its useful

• Experience working with large datasets and query engines (OpenSearch or similar)
• Familiarity with data pipelines or event-driven architectures (Kafka Pulsar or similar)
• Frontend experience in React or TypeScript - enough to contribute across the stack when needed
• Understanding of API principals (REST/GraphQL) and integration with frontend applications

• A core of Java & Kotlin based backend services.
• React SPAs leveraging Tailwind GraphQL and Storybook.
• OpenSearch PostgreSQL and Dynamodb as core persistence.
• Pulsar Camel and RabbitMQ for message-based integrations.
• And many more technologies that help us build a top class platform.

**This is a hybrid role requiring in-office collaboration two days per week in our Dublin office.**
