Role Overview.
As a P3 Full Stack Software Engineer, you are a solid, dependable individual contributor who can independently deliver well-scoped features across the frontend and backend.

- Build and consume RESTful APIs and integrate with internal systems.
- Write clean, maintainable, and testable code aligned with Toast engineering standards.
- Participate actively in code reviews-both receiving and providing constructive feedback.
- Troubleshoot production and non-production issues within owned areas and contribute to root-cause analysis.
- Use Gradle or Maven, Git, and standard development workflows effectively.
- Apply AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Devin) to improve development speed and quality.
- Support team delivery during critical phases when needed, including production issues and urgent fixes.
P3 Competency Expectations at Toast:
- Consistently delivers on commitments with predictable cycle time for scoped work.
- Demonstrates ownership of components or features but does not yet own large systems end-to-end.
- Understands and follows established architectural patterns and engineering best practices.
- Proactively communicates progress, risks, and dependencies.
- Seeks feedback and continuously improves technical depth and execution quality.
Requirements

- Working knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases, including basic schema design and querying.
- Experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS.
- Familiarity with Gradle or Maven for build and dependency management.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams.
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to code quality.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills.
