Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

The Cloud Foundations team is a small, agile team working to make cloud use at Square more accessible, easier and safer. Square is at an exciting inflection point, where Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) are becoming increasingly advantageous to product engineers versus our datacenters. We're talking to other product-focused teams, understanding what they want and building tooling that makes it possible for them to do what they want without us getting in the way. Some projects we've worked on include unifying cloud and datacenter observability, feature enhancements to our Terraform CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring service mesh connectivity from AWS Lambda.

As an engineer on Cloud Foundations, you will directly help develop the infrastructure that enables every team at Square to use the best AWS and GCP have to offer. Your impact will span across product and infrastructure engineering teams at Square, and you will help set the direction for Square's cloud use for many years to come. Along the way you will have plenty of opportunities to meet and work with engineers from across the company working on different problems and help them all succeed.

• Design software that bridges Square systems to the cloud
• Work with security teams to improve the security posture of Square's cloud presence
• Provide mentorship and design review support for engineering teams across Square working with our technologies
• Contribute to monitoring, stability, and security of existing tools
