Senior Software Engineer (Frontend), Payment Platform Web
- Full-time
Company Description
Job Description
Commerce is changing, and as part of that Square is transforming from a product company to a platform company. If you join now, you will ride the massive wave of omnichannel retail combining in-store and online / in-app payments. You'll help create an "AWS of Commerce" as our developer platform exposes core primitives for other companies to build on top of. And you'll have a great experience with our motivated, friendly, and diverse team.
The Payment Platform Web team builds JavaScript SDKs and complementary UIs for developers who want to take payments with Square on their websites. Thousands of developers use our code to power the payments capabilities that millions of merchants depend on. We build the tools to make that not just possible, but also easy. Just like front-end frameworks like React and Vue make it easier to build complex single-page apps, we’re building frameworks to simplify the complexity of taking payments.
Want to learn more? See what we’ve built so far at https://developer.squareup.com/docs/payment-form/payment-form-walkthrough (and think about all the ways you can help make this experience better). If you’re ambitious, feel free to read our source code here https://js.squareup.com/v2/paymentform.

- Design and develop the JavaScript APIs and UI responsible for 3rd party developers’ experiences using our platform
- Build experiences for thousands of developers and millions of Square Merchants
- See the big picture to design robust experiences so the team can be brave and move fast, without showing a negative impact to customers
Qualifications
You will:
- 5+ years of experience developing production software

- Deeply enjoy writing and shipping production software
- Can identify ways to quickly prototype complex ideas
