Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely – and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow all in one place.

Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.

There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same. 

The Restaurants team at Square is reimagining the hospitality industry to empower today's restaurants with simple, elegant software and efficient workflows.  Restaurants today operate in an increasingly dynamic landscape, and we're building a modern product ecosystem to support this by using technology to unlock new workflows, revenue streams, and means of communication.  Our focus is on efficiency, automation, and reliability: themes of paramount importance in a fast-paced environment where great hospitality is key.

As a front-end engineer on the Restaurants teams, you’ll develop elegant, intuitive, and performance solutions for restaurant owners to use in managing their business. You’ll work closely with your product manager to understand the job that’s trying to be done, consider if and how you should test your product’s success, and build it in a way that maximizes reuse and sharing. In collaboration with other engineers and designers on your team, you’ll iterate based on metrics and customer feedback, and work with other groups across the organization to create the best solutions to our customers’ needs.  

Our team started in NYC, and is now distributed across the US and Canada. We have offices in several major cities for staff who’d like to use them, and our teams operate in a fully distributed fashion.

What you’ll learn and do:

• You'll create beautiful, unique products that empower anyone to run a restaurant
• You'll design and build products in Square Dashboard, one of the largest Ember.js applications in use anywhere
• You'll work closely and collaboratively with designers, product managers, and other engineers; very often across team boundaries
• You'll ship reliable software through continuous integration, test automation, and in-depth code reviews
• You'll find simple, elegant solutions to hard problems
• You'll grow as an engineer, and as you do you'll lift others around you

What you bring to the team and to Square:

• Motivation to build beautiful, intuitive products for the food and drink hospitality industry
• Curiosity, and a desire to learn and teach
• Empathy for your customers and colleagues
• Eagerness to share your own ideas, and openness to those of others
• Experience working in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks a benefit, but not a requirement
• Familiarity with back end technologies a bonus (we use Java, Ruby, and Go)

Technologies we use and teach:

• ES6 JavaScript
• Ember JS
• SCSS
• Ruby on Rails
