Software Engineer (Backend/Fullstack), Web Point of Sale

  • Full-time
  • Alternate Location: Seattle, United States

Company Description

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.

Job Description

While Square is best known for the Point of Sale application that runs natively on iOS, Android, and Square-branded hardware devices - our team manages the Virtual Terminal product that enables computer-based sellers to accept payments using a web browser, without the need for a separate device. Virtual Terminal has been used to process remote payments over the phone, but now you will help our iniatives to expand the Virtual Terminal capabilities to support in-person use cases and more complex sellers - creating a suite of products for computer-based sellers in the US and across the globe. You will report to the engineering manager and work with other product and platform teams at Square.
