Android Engineer, Open Orders
- Full-time
Company Description
Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.
Job Description
Square's purpose is economic empowerment; since our beginning, we have been helping numerous sellers start and manage their own businesses. Many small businesses struggled with the pandemic as they scrambled to adapt to going online to reach their customers.
The Orders team has a mission to help sellers reach their customers anywhere and to provide seamless omnichannel experiences – like buy online, pickup in store – to sellers of all sizes. Furthermore, we aim to build an Orders platform that empowers both teams at Square and an ecosystem of third-party developers to support our sellers as we adapt to the future ahead.
Falling under the Orders team, Open Orders has a vision in which Square sellers can edit and manage their open orders all in one place, regardless of source or channel. As an Android engineer on the Open Orders team, you will build on a best-in-class Order Management experience that makes omnichannel a reality for our sellers. This team's work is critically important for building our vision of the future!
You will:
Build thoughtful and creative features in our Point of Sale applications that help sellers manage their orders, all in one place!
Collaborate with other Android, iOS, Front End, and Server engineers from across the organization.
Work with product managers and designers to help shape and refine the mobile order management experience.
Hold yourself and your teammates to the highest standard of engineering excellence.
Help shape the future of our codebase by building flexible, extendable, and reusable components.
Qualifications
You have:
1+ years of industry experience
Proficiency in native Android development using standard tools and frameworks.
Proficiency in Kotlin and/or Java (we use a mix of both).
A passion for building mobile products at all levels – from the low-level architectural decisions to the individual pixels.
A desire to build products that our merchants will depend on every day to run their business.
[Bonus] Experience building, or even using, order management systems for sellers.
