Infrastructure Software Engineer, Build & Release

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. Our Build and Release Infrastructure Team provides the infrastructure necessary to flow software changes from initial development through to release. To accomplish this we oversee: build/test pipelines, environment configurations, developer services, and build scripts. As an Infrastructure Software Engineer, you will help create the next phase of our build and release structure and the scalability of our system.

Design software to implement complex workflows involving various tools
Work with developers to ensure best practices for continuous integration/continuous deployment are met
