Toast Tab, Inc.; United States; Hybrid; USD 151,000 - 309,000; Full time

Job summary

Toast Tab, Inc. is seeking a Design Engineer to join our New Ventures team, blending design thinking with production‑level front‑end engineering to bring Toast's newest products from concept to MVP.

This hands‑on role emphasizes writing clean UI code, leveraging AI to explore ideas, and shipping experiences that are intuitive, scalable, and performant for hospitality customers across remote and hybrid offices in US markets.

Responsibilities

• Own design and front-end engineering for one of Toast's new ventures—from fuzzy early concepts to shippable, high-quality production experiences.
• Write clean, maintainable front-end code, owning the quality of the experience end-to-end.
• Use AI tools to iterate quickly: generate and compare concepts, accelerate exploration, and bring workflows to life through rapid prototyping and coding in hours, not days.
• Design information-dense experiences that are still highly scannable and decision-oriented.
• Create prototypes that feel real—clickable, coded flows and interaction models that help product and engineering make decisions fast.
• Make smart trade offs under constraints—move fast with MVP patterns, while sweating the details that matter most.
• Run with a bias for action and testing: quickly validate assumptions via low‑fi experiments, coded prototypes, usability testing, dogfooding, and iterative refinement.
• Operate autonomously: set your own plan, seek input when needed, and keep momentum without waiting for perfect clarity—while collaborating closely with a small team.
