The Reconciliation Team tracks the flow of money through Square’s payment ecosystem.  We build services that ingest and process data for our roughly half a billion dollars of daily transactions, to make sure the money ends up in the right bank accounts.

Our team’s projects are high importance, low urgency: we value thoughtfulness and correctness more than speed.  Our work is data-intensive, so if you enjoy understanding and working with data you may find it especially satisfying.

Our tech stack is deliberately “boring” but up-to-date.  We use Kotlin/Java services with backing MySQL databases for their internal state; Google BigQuery to store the transaction data itself and run jobs that efficiently process large volumes of data; and AWS infrastructure for everything else.

You will:

• Help to design and build our next generation of reconciliation systems, needed to support Square’s accelerating growth in payments and payment methods
• Work cross-functionally with our card processing, settlement, analytics, finance, accounting, and product teams: this job is very collaborative
• Leverage our reconciliation data to build insight and early-warning systems which can protect Square and our sellers
• Implement and operate the reconciliation services which ensure Square’s credibility and hold us to the highest standards of financial reporting and compliance

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years experience developing backend services and infrastructure
• Experience with cloud computing technologies and data platforms
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Preferred: 

• Experience with OLAP databases
• Interest or experience in payments technology
