Software Engineering Manager - Retail Experience

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 Toast Retail team is at the forefront of this exciting evolution. We’re building innovative features that adapt Toast’s powerful platform to meet the unique needs of retailers, expanding our impact and delivering best-in-class experiences to a broader market. The Toast Retail team is pioneering how Toast serves businesses beyond the restaurant space. We’re focused on building powerful, intuitive tools that meet the unique needs of modern retailers — inventory management, supplier relationships, purchase orders, and more. As a team, we operate like a startup within Toast, balancing greenfield development with the scale of a mature platform.

We identify friction across the retail customer journey — from onboarding to daily operations — and deliver cohesive, retail-first improvements across Toast’s ecosystem. Our work spans the Retail module and the broader Toast platform, ensuring that retail customers feel understood and supported from day one through long-term success.
