About The Position

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.
The Care Experience team is transforming how Toast supports its customers across chat, voice, and agent-assisted channels. We build the intelligent platforms and tools that power every support interaction—helping agents resolve issues faster, improving AI-driven self-service, and ensuring customers get accurate, timely help when it matters most.
This is a high-impact domain. Support systems must operate reliably under urgent, business-critical conditions, integrate deeply with customer, device, and account data, and scale across millions of interactions while maintaining trust, accuracy, and speed. The platforms built by this team directly shape how effectively Toast can reduce friction, resolve issues end-to-end, and deliver a differentiated support experience as we grow—modernizing our core support infrastructure through a unified contact center platform foundation and AI-driven capabilities that improve routing, resolution, and outcomes.
As a Senior Software Engineer on Care Experience, you’ll focus on agent tooling and voice/chat AI systems at the heart of Toast’s support ecosystem. You’ll build and evolve platforms used daily by thousands of support agents and across millions of customer interactions, working at the intersection of distributed systems, AI-enabled experiences, and operational reliability to ensure support is fast, resilient, and deeply connected to Toast’s products and data.
If you’re motivated by large-scale platform work, excited to operate at the intersection of customer experience, agent experience, and intelligent systems, and eager to build software that meaningfully shapes how Toast supports restaurants at scale, this role offers a rare opportunity to do so.
