## Description

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build that foundation. You'll own features end to end on a small team, from location creation and copy to the new Organization APIs and the internal tools that manage them, working day to day with the team's Staff and Principal engineers. The work ships into services much of Toast depends on, so you'll learn the core of the platform quickly and see your changes used across the company.
