Over the past few years, we worked hard to build valuable business solutions for sellers, large and small, through primary or ancillary features across many mobile and web applications.  The ecosystem engagement team aims to build tools for sellers and their teams to easily handle business management / back office tasks in a single, easy-to-use mobile application. 

This team is responsible for integrating our ecosystem of products further through back-office management in native apps, with a platform-first approach to scale as we support more back-office and business management features. Having back office functions accessible in one place greatly reduces seller friction and increases the overall value prop of Square’s ecosystem.
