From the cozy local wine store to the trendy sneaker pop-up, the Retail team at Square is finding new ways to equip retail sellers and their staff with the tools they need to succeed. Our team focuses on helping smaller retailers meet their customers wherever they are: be that in-store, online, or on social/messaging platforms. We’re addressing the desire for clean and minimalist store counters with intuitive yet sophisticated iOS, Android, and Web-based software that integrates seamlessly with our sleek hardware, all backed by highly reliable services.

As an Engineering Manager for the Retail Catalog team, you’ll lead a full-stack distributed team of engineers responsible for ensuring sellers are able to manage their catalogs on Square for Retail. Efficient catalog management is crucial for retailers as they typically have larger, more complex catalogs. This team builds workflows that allow retailers to seamlessly create and update their catalogs and works closely with ML engineers to introduce innovative features that make the user experience delightful. There are currently seven engineers on the team – three frontend, two mobile, and two server – with room to grow in the future.

All of our teams are full stack including mobile allowing us to design, build and ship features across our Point of Sale clients on iOS and Android, our seller facing tools on the web, and our backend platforms. You'll work cross-functionally with Product, Design, Data Science, and ML teams to build features that present elegant UI for complex problems, saving sellers time and reducing anxiety as they strive to succeed in today’s pandemic-accelerated shift to omnichannel selling.

• Lead your team in creating beautiful, unique products which allow retail sellers to manage increasingly complex business operations while also expanding our product internationally into new markets.

• Eagerness to share your ideas, and openness to those of others 

• Demonstrated collaboration with co-workers on other teams and in other locations

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or an equivalent degree), and 8 or more years of professional software development experience.

• Managed full-stack software teams before
