The Square Security team works with other teams at Square to build world-class products for both customers and employees. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every single experience with Square is simple, secure, and safe.

Square’s Cryptographic Identity and Secrets Management engineering team is responsible for some of the company’s most critical, high-SLA systems. Our software protects our customers’ most sensitive data. Our purpose is to identify our ecosystem’s security needs, and to meet those needs in a central and scalable way.

You will:

• Design, implement, and maintain security-oriented software that makes it easier for non-security engineers to build secure products.

• Own the delivery and success of critical payments security, secure storage, service identity, and PKI services.

• Collaborate with many teams and functions across Square to make technical, design, strategy, and product decisions.

• Act as an internal security subject matter expert, advocating for better security practices throughout Square.

• Grow your career in an engaged and innovative engineering community that ships amazing products.

• Work in any Square office location, or work remotely in the USA or Canada. Occasional travel may be required.
