OverviewGet AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.About Toku Every company in the world runs payroll. But the rails underneath it haven’t changed since the 1970s. Toku is building what comes next - infrastructure that makes payroll work the way the internet does: instantly, globally, and without unnecessary friction. We enable companies to pay teams in stablecoins, fiat, or tokens - without switching systems, retraining staff, or giving up compliance. With one API, Toku connects into platforms like ADP, Gusto, or Workday, and upgrades the back end to move money in seconds instead of days. We\'re building the future of payroll and we\'re just getting started. To learn more, check our website.
Engineering Team - Who We Are We’re an early, fast‑moving team that ships with care. We work closely with customers, value pragmatic engineering, clear documentation and keep reliability, correctness and security front and center.

Turn customer problems into simple and clear product solutions
Write robust, type‑safe, well‑tested code and stable APIs, keep docs and observability healthy
Raise the bar on engineering practices: PR reviews, automated testing, and robust CI/CD
Proactively identify opportunities to improve existing practices and uphold Toku’s high technical quality bar
Anticipate edge cases, flag blockers early in the process, drive incidents to root cause, and prevent regressions
Lead feature work from PRD, design doc (RFC) to rollout: data models, API contracts, and UI flows
Use AI tools to accelerate development, testing, and documentation
