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.

Restaurants today operate in an increasingly challenging and dynamic landscape, and we're building a modern product ecosystem to support this.  Square for Restaurants empowers food & drink businesses of all kinds to start, run, and grow their businesses through advanced workflows, specialized products, business insights, and inclusion in the greater Square ecosystem.  In everything we build, we focus on efficiency, automation, and reliability: themes of paramount importance in a fast-paced environment where great hospitality is key.

In support of this, we’re looking for an engineering manager to join the Kitchen team. In this role they’ll lead a multi-functional group of engineers focused on delivering remarkable software to the heart of any restaurant: the line cooks, chefs, and expeditors working in the kitchen.   

You will:

• Take the engineering reins of a project already in use by kitchens globally, with world-class design, a clear product concept, a near-term roadmap, and an unbounded market

• Lead a team of (this year) four or five engineers, mostly iOS developers

• Grow and develop your team through hiring, coaching, and team leadership. You will have a strong start, with a team of amazing engineers and a growth-oriented culture.

• Make decisions with direct bearing on the course and success of the product, in consultation with your engineers and close collaboration with design and product management partners.

• Work closely with your engineers and with engineering teams within Restaurants and across Square to build world-class software. 

• Lead your team to design and build technology for the long haul, cement your product's place in the Square ecosystem, and provide your customers with products that both delight and serve critical needs

You are:

• Experienced in coaching and developing engineers through senior levels, and working with growing engineering teams through hiring and career development. Maintains a customer focus and applies that focus at all times to product definition, design, engineering, and operations. Your empathy for the customer and collaboration on all aspects of product development will be key to our customers' success with our products.

• Prepared to support your team with engineering insight as well as people leadership. You will be called upon to advise engineers on design and process; represent your engineering team to leadership and partners; and ensure excellent technical output from your team.

• Eager to collaborate closely with cross-functional partners and peer EMs, as partners with shared goals and openness to each others' ideas.

Technologies that will be used by your team:

• Primarily iOS in Swift

• Thorough automated testing (unit, integration, and snapshot)

• Some web development, in Ember.js

• Occasional server-side development in Java or Kotlin, in a Square service stack
