Full-Stack Software Engineer, Tools & Services

  • Full-time

Company Description

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

Job Description

Square’s hardware devices form the tangible connection between Square and the millions of small businesses who rely on our services. We are always improving the software on these devices and monitoring their performance. The Device Software Tools & Services team develops and runs production services that securely deploy software updates to millions of embedded devices across four continents, and collect diagnostic and troubleshooting data from devices in the field. 

As our hardware portfolio expands and Square reaches larger, more-complex businesses, you will work on the team that serves larger and more complicated assets - to more devices - more frequently, while constantly improving the customer experience associated with this process.
