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.

Square's Payment Platform is an open, global financial services platform for developers who serve our merchants. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Payment API group, leading a backend team responsible for building the payments APIs that move money for Square (check us out!). The team is focused on creating a reliable interface to the payments stack for 1st party and 3rd party products. You will be involved in the technical details of building available and reliable services while also working with product teams to allow Square to build new capabilities for our merchants and buyers worldwide.

You will:

• Guide a team of up to 8 engineers as they add to our existing APIs and build new APIs.
• Ensure continued operational excellence, supporting the team as they own and operate both public and private Payment APIs.
• Foster long-term thinking and creativity in a complex space, and promote your organization to support our business.
• Export the team's best practices to the rest of Square, and support other teams that operate high availability services and public APIs
• Collaborate with product management, design, senior engineering, product leadership, and your peers to develop the strategy for your team.
• Develop efficient processes, ensuring the engineering team operates with high velocity, ownership, and accountability to our customers.
• Oversee the success of your team's projects and achieve quantifiable results.

You have:

• BA/BS degree or equivalent practical working experience (8+ years preferred)
