Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely – and so has Square. After helping anyone take a payment and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by different, 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, and 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.

We are Payment Reporting, a new team whose mission is to provide Square sellers with a clear, relevant, and trusted view of their Square payment activity and tax obligations. These products are essential for any Square seller to maintain a healthy business and are critical for Square to enter new countries, launch new products, and grow upmarket to attract and retain larger, more complex sellers. 

We are looking for a technical leader to take the reins of these front-end experiences and embrace the opportunity to have a tremendous impact on both the product for our sellers, and on reporting capabilities across Square.

You will:

• Lead the evolution of our front-end architecture. We need to turn the page on the current approach and you will lead the writing of that new chapter.

• Train and grow a front-end team around you who can build intuitive, maintainable, and powerful front-end experiences. 

• Work closely with Square sellers, our product manager, design team, and your engineering team to discover and deliver innovative and delightful ways to serve our sellers better.

• Have the opportunity to not just solve reporting problems for our immediate product, but have company-wide impact by building general-purpose components.

You have:

• 3+ years of experience leading complex web applications.

• 8+ years of experience in Javascript development.

• Experience with architecting & performance optimization.

• Experience with frameworks like React, Ember, or Svelte is desirable.

• Sense of customer empathy and experience strategizing the product direction

Technologies we use within Payment Reporting:

• Ember.js, ES6 Javascript

• Java, Protocol Buffers, Ruby on Rails

• GraphQL

• MySQL, Elasticsearch

• Amazon Web Services
