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.
Square leads the industry with our in-person payments solution - our free Point-of-Sale software and beautiful hardware. The Online Payments Platform team’s mission is to make Square the industry-leader in online payments as well. To do that, we’re building backend APIs, front-end components for the web and mobile apps, and supporting services for developers. We’re building services that must be both highly available and able to handle meaningful volume, as 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.
As a software engineer on the Online Payments Platform team, you will…
Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and design teams across Square to ensure a consistent and clear developer experience
Design and develop APIs that work for both 3rd party developers and Square’s first-party products
Explore new services, technologies, and approaches to ensure our services are always available and fast globally
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
