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. And because our technology is purpose-built for restaurants, by restaurant people, restaurants can trust that we’ll deliver on their needs for today while investing in experiences that will power their restaurant of the future.
What is our Mission
The mission of the Canada and Emerging Markets team is to improve our product to be the best in Canada and across markets in the US where operators, staff, or guests are more familiar with other hospitality cultures (think Tapa’s, Dim Sum, etc). As Engineering Manager, you will focus on collaborating with your Product Manager and multiple customers across the country. These customers include small and huge restaurants with a single owner or various locations.
You'll get to talk directly to customers, hear about their problems, and share your own ideas on how to make things better for them. This might mean traveling to different spots to see how they work firsthand. You'll also turn customer feedback into actual product improvements, working with your engineering team to build and deliver solutions that fit the specific needs of the Canadian and emerging US markets.
