Software Engineer, Terminal

  • 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

Square helps millions of merchants start and run their businesses. As those businesses grow, their needs change. Square's goal to help businesses grow doesn't stop when small businesses do well. We want to support the needs of businesses at all stages, from a seller taking their first sale, to corporations who have processed millions in payments.

The Terminal team focuses on improving the user experience for these merchants and on building new user-facing tools to help them get the right support at the right time. We oversee the experiences of more than half of our merchants. Our UI is one of the first things our customers see, and first impressions matter. Our products meet them where they need as they grow, providing the right experience when they need it.

A few examples of the products that we work on:

  • Experiments around marketing and conversion
  • Onboarding and new user experience for payment products
  • Data collection and maintenance UI for our merchants
  • Business Information verification and account activation

We are a full-stack and mobile product team: we improve and integrate with the money moving platform and provide product features on desktops, mobile web, and in our iOS and Android apps. Our approach is both customer-focused and data-driven: we talk to merchants, understand their needs and pains, and find opportunities to improve product experiences from data insights and A/B tests. Our team has excellent work-life balance, allows flexible hours and location, and works on important, valuable projects.

You will:

  • Design and increase the payment product experience for businesses using Ruby on Rails, Ember, Java, AWS, and MySQL
  • Implement A/B tests
  • Build reliable support for product data logging and metrics
  • Work with our product, engineering, analytics, and marketing teams

Qualifications

You have:

  • BA/BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of software development experience
  • Server-side experience in Rails or Java, and familiarity or curiosity about front-end and mobile development
  • Contributed to or led feature releases
  • Empathy for customers and an interest in producing an excellent experience for them

Technologies we use and teach:

  • Java, JavaScript, Ember, MySQL, Protobuf, Ruby on Rails, AWS Lambda
  • A/B test techniques and methodologies
  • iOS and Android development
