Senior Software Engineer - Analytics and Reporting

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 Technical Operations team makes Toast's engineering measurable. We connect tool and resource usage, engineering metrics, and customer outcomes into a single, trusted picture that executives, engineering managers, and developers use every day. If you are passionate about turning complex business and engineering processes into something teams can actually see, so they can spot bottlenecks and opportunities before they become major problems, use resources wisely, and ultimately deliver a better customer experience, this team is for you.

We are a small, highly leveraged team. We index heavily into agentic engineering: AI agents are part of how we design, build, test, and operate our systems, and we expect you to push that frontier with us.

A day in the life (Responsibilities)

• Serve as the technical lead for the Technical Operations team, owning the architecture and technical direction of our data platform & internal tools and driving significant projects from design through rollout

• Design and build the data pipelines and integrations that bring engineering, tooling, and cost signals from source systems into a unified warehouse, consuming upstream domains as programmatic data contracts rather than manual extracts

• Partner with our Product Owner to identify and define the biggest opportunities for impact, and collaborate with your teammates on end-to-end solutions

• Build the back-end that enables role-based reporting on engineering health, AI and tooling spend and ROI, and cost and capitalization, replacing recurring manual processes with durable, auditable, productized tools & analytics

• Own quality, reliability, and operational monitoring for business-critical reporting that leaders at every level depend on

• Mentor less experienced engineers and up-level the team through design reviews, constructive feedback, and agent-assisted engineering practices

• Leverage cutting edge AI tools to enhance your development workflow, improve velocity, and help pioneer new approaches to building - contributing to a culture of innovation and productivity across the team.

What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record building and operating production data pipelines, integrations, or analytics platforms to automate manual business/operational processes

• Proven ability to drive significant projects to completion from design to rollout, informed by solid technical and business understanding

• Strong skills in SQL and data modelling, plus proficiency in at least one modern programming language (for example Python, Kotlin, or TypeScript)

• Demonstrated, hands-on use of agentic engineering as a core part of how you work: you build with AI agents daily, design workflows where agents do real engineering work, and hold agent-produced code to the same quality bar as your own

• Experience integrating third-party systems and APIs, and designing clear data contracts between domains

• Ability to partner with non-engineering stakeholders (finance, operations, leadership) and translate their processes into reliable technical solutions

• A self-starter mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, biased toward action, and able to lead within a small team

**This is a hybrid role where you will be based in the Dublin office two days per week**
