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.

The Decision Science organization at Square helps our sellers and our business grow by empowering decision making with data. The team provides Square with a variety of critical information such as go-to-market channel attribution, investment ROI calculation, merchant value measurement, product behavior analytics, and funnel performance. We achieve this by building remarkable data infrastructure, best-in-class analytics, data science, and machine learning solutions.

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer with a track record of delivering scalable and robust data solutions (just like you!) to join our efforts in building Square’s next generation attribution system. This system will be used by the executive leadership team to make strategic go-to-market investment decisions that will shape Square's future.

You will:

• Design and implement data pipelines to power the data driven attribution system that will fuel Square’s growth
• Perform data modeling and design of database structures for storing and processing large volumes of data with scalability and robustness
• Build and maintain data integration workflows and pipelines
• Develop and implement data quality checks to ensure data integrity
• Work with Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers to identify and integrate statistical and machine learning attribution models
• Evaluate new data sources to understand the impact of integrating new data into attribution pipelines and models
• Monitor daily execution, diagnose and log issues, and fix business critical pipelines to ensure SLAs are met with our internal stakeholders
• Continuously evaluate and improve the performance and scalability of the data infrastructure

• 5+ years of data engineering experience
• Track record of building and maintaining large scale data pipelines
• Experience with SQL and other relational database management systems (RDBMS) such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift
• Experience in designing and implementing ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines for data ingestion with ETL scheduling technologies such as Airflow and Prefect
• Expert level understanding of data modeling methodologies
• Knowledge of distributed computing, big data processing, and stream processing technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka
• Familiarity with cloud computing platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Microsoft Azure, including services like S3, EC2, Dataflow, Databricks or EMR
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or Scala
• Knowledge of containerization technologies like Docker and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes
• Familiarity with version control systems like Git and code repositories like GitHub
• Understanding of data quality management and data governance best practices
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to work with large and complex datasets.
