Engineering Manager, Mobile Security

  • Full-time

Company Description

We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new reader helps our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, and our Cash app lets people pay each other back instantly. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. And make it easier for customers to shop and pay at their favorite businesses. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

  • Manage projects and deliver quantifiable results in a timely manner
  • Lead and participate in critical technical, design, and product discussions with leaders across Square
  • Lead a team of engineers to build security infrastructure that enables product teams to build things previously thought to be impossible.

  • 6 or more years of relevant professional experience
  • 1 or more years managing or leading a security-engineering team
  • Demonstrated experience collaborating with product managers and engineering leaders
  • Excellent software engineering aptitude and the ability to provide technical mentorship and guidance
