Software Engineer (Frontend), New Markets

  • Full-time
  • Alternate Location: New York, 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

Square's rapidly growing financing platform, Square Capital, has revolutionized the way businesses and consumers obtain the funding needed to achieve their goals.

Unlike traditional business financing products, Square Capital offers are extended to pre-qualified sellers with no application process, funds are deposited as soon as the next business day, and repayment happens as a fixed percentage of daily card sales. Since the product launched in 2014, Square Capital has extended more than $9 billion to hundreds of thousands of sellers.

As a software engineer on the International Lending Team, you will take our product to new countries. You'll have the opportunity to meet small business owners around the world and customize our product for them.

  • Work with engineering, product, and other partners to build software that is clean, well-tested and forward-thinking for future international expansion
  • Oversee the entirety of your features, including component design, implementation, automated testing, and roll-out
  • Work with designers, product managers, data scientists, and other engineers to understand our problem space and create elegant solutions
  • Mentor junior developers in developing their code and careers

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience
  • 2+ years working with Ember.js or React in production applications
