Toast

Developer Advocate, Support

Remote, US Full Time

Toast is driven by building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love.

As part of the Developer Relations team, the Developer Advocate on the Dev Success team is the primary technical partner for the broad Toast developer community. You'll own the complete journey for developers building on Toast, from answering their first technical question through facilitating their path to production. You'll manage a high volume of technical support requests while simultaneously guiding partners through the onboarding and certification process that gets them to market. Your success will be measured by your ability to deliver predictable throughput: meeting weekly targets for partner certifications while maintaining a healthy support queue and high developer satisfaction.

Developer Relations at Toast is evolving rapidly as we scale our partner ecosystem. The systems, processes, and infrastructure you help build today will shape how thousands of developers experience Toast tomorrow. As the team and platform mature, this role will evolve with it, your insights from working directly with developers will inform that evolution, and your skills will grow alongside the team's expanding impact.

About this roll* (Responsibilities)

As a Developer Advocate on the Dev Support team you will:

  • Own the end-to-end developer lifecycle for the general Toast developer community, from their first technical question through production launch
  • Manage the technical support queue across multiple channels (Zendesk, forums, Slack) with a focus on efficient resolution and pattern recognition
  • Execute the partner onboarding and certification process at scale, meeting predictable weekly throughput targets that drive business velocity
  • Act as the technical facilitator for partners' go-to-market journey, ensuring they successfully navigate Toast's technical requirements
  • Identify and surface patterns in developer friction, feeding actionable "Voice of the Developer" insights to the Developer Enablement team
  • Become a platform expert by deeply understanding Toast APIs, common integration patterns, and the restaurant technology ecosystem
  • Troubleshoot integration issues using Toast's internal tools (Splunk, Postman) to diagnose problems and guide developers to solutions
  • Continuously refine support and onboarding processes to increase efficiency and improve the developer experience

Do you have the right ingredients*? (Requirements)

  • 2+ years experience in Developer Relations, Technical Support, or Solutions Engineering with a track record of managing high-volume technical interactions
  • Strong technical troubleshooting skills - you can quickly identify root causes by analyzing API logs, reviewing source code, and asking the right diagnostic questions
  • Deep understanding of REST APIs and how developers build and consume API integrations
  • Exceptional at managing parallel workstreams - you can efficiently handle support tickets while advancing multiple partners through certification simultaneously
  • Process-oriented mindset - you see opportunities to systematize and scale, not just solve individual problems
  • Data-driven approach - you track patterns, measure outcomes, and use insights to improve both your own work and the platform
  • Clear, empathetic communicator who can explain complex technical concepts and knows when to escalate vs. when to dig deeper
  • Comfortable with predictable, target-based work - you thrive when you have clear weekly goals for certifications and queue health
  • Customer-focused - you understand that every interaction shapes how developers perceive Toast

Bready to Rise to the Occasion? (What makes you a perfect fit)

  • You've supported a large developer community and understand how to balance depth vs. breadth
  • You've worked in an onboarding, implementation, or certification role and know how to move developers through structured processes efficiently
  • You get energized by solving the same categories of problems at scale
  • You naturally document patterns and create internal resources that help future developers

Special Sauce (Nice to Haves)*:

  • You've contributed to or managed beta programs with developer communities
  • You understand the restaurant or POS technology space
