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 mission of Developer Success Engineering is to scale our developer support through support engineering and automation. We automate the things that are best done with software to enable rich interactions with Square's customers while saving the company significant time and money by helping operations teams stay small and efficient. We are a full-stack team, working on web frontend, mobile (Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native), and backend services.

As an engineer on the Developer Relation team, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining services that optimize the support experience from the time a merchant has a question, until the time it is answered. You will work alongside our Developer Relations Engineers, Developer Advocates, Content Writers, and product teams. We pride ourselves on making our internal products quick, sophisticated, and a pleasure to use. We are a key part of the success of most product launches and interact frequently with many teams within Square.

You Will: 

• ​​​​Write custom apps that steer merchant inquiries to the optimal support channel (web, email, phone, video, etc).

• Launch new support channels that increase in agent efficiency as well as customer satisfaction.  

• Use data science to optimize how support inquiries are handled. 

• Assist external developers in debugging their applications and in understanding the APIs and SDKs they can use to unlock experiences for sellers and their customers.
