Principal TA Systems ArchitectNew

The opportunity

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. At Toast, Talent Acquisition runs on its tools.

What you'll do

  • Own the stack: Serve as system owner and top-tier administrator for Greenhouse, GoodTime, and BrightHire — configuration, permissions, workflows, approval chains, compliance settings, and release management.

  • Own the integration layer between TA systems and the rest of the People: stack: HRIS, background check, assessments, sourcing, and offer tooling, including API-based integrations and middleware.

  • Run intake-to-resolution on system issues: triage, root-cause, fix, and close the loop with whoever reported it.

  • Hold the change management discipline the stack needs: sandbox testing, documented configuration decisions, release notes, and user communications.

  • Partner across the People organization and drive the roadmap: Work directly with recruiters, sourcers, coordinators, and TA leadership to find where the process actually breaks, and translate that into system solutions instead of more manual workarounds.

  • Partner with People Systems, People Analytics, IT, Security, and Legal so TA: systems fit the broader architecture: clean data flows, sane access models, defensible privacy and records practices.

What they're looking for

  • Build and own a multi-quarter TA systems roadmap, and make the case for what is worth doing and what is not.
  • Evaluate new tooling: including AI-enabled recruiting tools — with real rigor: pilot design, success criteria, security review, and an honest recommendation.
  • Manage the vendors: Own day-to-day vendor relationships and act as the escalation point for outages, defects, and support issues.
  • Run renewals and new purchases alongside Procurement and Finance: usage data, business case, and negotiation support.
