• Collaborate with project managers, web team members, and other Toast stakeholders as required
• Help shape technical decisions, tooling, and best practices within the team
• Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to peers

• Proficiency in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• Strong experience (6-8yrs) with React and its ecosystem
• Strong Experience with Gatsby and its core concepts (e.g., static site generation, GraphQL).
• Experience with Tailwind CSS and its utility-first approach
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
• Ability to communicate clearly and professionally
• CMS Experience – having integrated website designs with a headless CMS
• Understanding of REST API usage best practices
• Experience building for multiple regions/languages
• Strong understanding of web application security principles and best practices
• Strong knowledge of git, and an understanding of code repository best practices
• Ability to accurately estimate the time required for a project and keep to timelines
• Proficiency in rapid prototyping and technical problem-solving using AI-assisted workflows, without comapromising on system reliability or test coverage.

• Familiarity with basic backend concepts (Node.js, APIs, serverless functions, etc.)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines
• Experience creating data models
• Familiarity with Contentful (content modeling, plugins, structured content, etc.) or a comparable CMS
