Software Engineer, Developer Platform (Android)

  • 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. 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.

Job Description

You'll find yourself collaborating on open-ended challenges with a creative, empowered team. Together, we will build SDKs and APIs on top of Square products & hardware. Our customers are developers, and we're solving deep technical problems to help them build commerce apps.


Our team is exploring new, exciting frontiers for Square. We work autonomously, learn from our customers, and constantly strive to improve our products.

We are:
  • A creative team, invested in teaching each other and growing together.

  • Empowered, autonomous problem solvers (with ‘slack time’ to try new things).

Qualifications

You have:

  • An open-minded, collaborative approach to solving problems and building products.

  • Experience shipping and maintaining Android apps. We're having fun with both Kotlin and Java.

  • Customer Empathy - hear what isn't working well and address it; share and celebrate successes.

  • A passion for learning and sharing. Our team isn't just writing code: we publish blog posts, deliver tech talks, and release open source libraries.
