Job description

Retail Technology Systems Engineer

Sweetgreen is on a mission to build healthy communities by connecting people to real food. We passionately believe that real food should be convenient and accessible to everyone. Every day in each sweetgreen, our 5,000 team members make food from scratch, using fresh ingredients and produce delivered that morning. And in our local communities, we’re committed to leaving people better than we found them. We’re in the business of feeding people, and we’re out to change what that means. Our teams are our most valuable ingredient - the heart of our company, the face of our brand, and what truly makes the sweetgreen experience special and unique.

The Retail Technology Systems Engineer sits on the Retail Technology team and owns the configuration, stability, and security of the technology running in every sweetgreen restaurant, from POS and payments to kitchen displays, connected kitchen equipment, and Infinite Kitchen locations. This role delivers new capabilities through successful go-lives, serves as the technical escalation point for restaurant support teams, and contributes to the future state roadmap for our restaurant fleet.

You will:

Implement, upgrade, and support restaurant technology across the fleet, including PAR Brink POS, PAR Payment Services card readers, KDS, and connected kitchen equipment, for existing restaurants and new restaurant openings.
Build and maintain standardized device images and configurations in Microsoft Intune for POS, kiosk, BOH, KDS, iPad, and time clock endpoints, and release patches, enhancements, and fixes across restaurants.
Build integrations and automations between restaurant applications using REST APIs, Workato, PowerShell, and Python, with a focus on reducing repetitive operational work.
Monitor restaurant system health, resolve incidents, identify recurring patterns, and serve as the escalation point for Tier 1 and Tier 2 support teams.
Partner with Software Engineering, Security, Networking, Operations, Marketing, Digital, and vendor partners to evaluate new hardware and capabilities, manage vendor escalations, and ready the team for new product launches.
Keep restaurant systems secure and PCI-compliant, and maintain clear documentation, runbooks, and SOPs for support teams and fellow engineers.

Desired traits:

You get energized by new technology and know how to apply it to real restaurant operations.
You solve problems analytically and make sound decisions under pressure.
You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
You build strong relationships across internal teams and with outside vendors.
You stay organized and deliver reliably as priorities shift.
You keep up with industry trends and bring new ideas to the team.
You understand how technology shapes the experience of our team members and customers.

Desired experience:

5+ years of restaurant or retail technology experience, ideally supporting a multi-unit restaurant fleet across in-restaurant, digital, and third-party marketplace orders.
3+ years of hands-on device and endpoint management (Microsoft Intune preferred), including configuration, software deployment, and security patching.
Experience administering a restaurant POS platform (PAR Brink preferred; Oracle Simphony, Toast, or similar also relevant), plus working knowledge of payment terminals, KDS, printers, mobile devices, and networking equipment.
Scripting experience in PowerShell or Python and comfort with REST APIs and integration tools such as Postman and Workato; exposure to .NET/C# is a plus.
Experience with Datadog, ServiceNow, and incident and on-call workflows, along with working knowledge of PCI security standards.
Experience with Cisco Meraki, Jira, Confluence, remote support tools, or restaurant automation and robotics is a plus, as are CompTIA A+, Network+, or Security+ certifications.

What you'll get:

Highly competitive pay + bonus plan
Three different medical plans to suit your and your family's needs
Dental and Vision insurance
Flexible PTO plan
401k program
Employee HSA and FSA
Complimentary greens
An opportunity to make a real impact on the people around you, both by growing them and by connecting them to real food
To live the sweetlife and celebrate your passion + purpose
A collaborative team of people who live our core values and have your back
A clear career path with opportunities for development, both personally and professionally
Free sweetgreen swag

When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.

The city

The job is in Los Angeles, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Los Angeles compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, Los Angeles is #1 by population, #141 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #121 for household income (#1 = highest), #39 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Los Angeles County, is #7 of 58 counties for average pay ($83,554).

The place in numbers

Los Angeles has 3,857,263 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.8% of the population of California. It covers 471 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 8,198 people per square mile. The median age is 37.2, about the same as the state median (37.2 against 37.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,933 a month (rent plus utilities), 5% below the state median ($1,933 against $2,036). Over a year that is 28.3% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $921,200, which is 11.2 times the median household income ($81,939); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 36.0% of households own their home, 36% below the state average (36.0% against 55.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan area has 6,271,560 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $55,850 a year, 10% above the national median ($55,850 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (702,480 jobs, median $52,710); food preparation and serving related (588,660 jobs, median $38,460); healthcare support (537,460 jobs, median $35,630). The area is most specialised in arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media (2.2 times) and healthcare support (1.7 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($136,490) and legal ($128,110). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Los Angeles County was 4.5%. 66.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Los Angeles County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 59.8% drive alone, 6.1% use public transit, 3.2% walk, 19.5% work from home. 22.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 14% above the state average (22.2% against 19.4%).

People and education

38.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 4% above the state share (38.5% against 37.1%). 35.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 32% above the state share (35.7% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 16.6%, 38% above the state rate (16.6% against 12.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 75°F (23.9°C), and the coolest is Dec at 53°F (11.8°C). About 332 mm (13 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Feb is the wettest month (75 mm) and Jun the driest (1 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Santa Monica (5 miles, rent 24% higher); Inglewood (6 miles, rent 8% lower); Hawthorne (8 miles, rent 8% lower); Burbank (13 miles, rent 13% higher). Rent differences are against Los Angeles; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
