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

As a Machine Learning Modeler within the Growth Data Science team focused on Human Outreach Recommendations, you will lead projects that help Square grow through remarkable customer experiences with our Sales and Account Management teams. The team exists to increase data driven intelligence and automation in the sales cycle, both for existing and prospective Square sellers. Using machine learning to power the best product, feature and content recommendations, we arm our Account Executives and Account Managers with the knowledge to serve Square’s customers using a unique and personalized approach. Our algorithms obtain value from our unique, rich, and growing data. We partner with business, product, operations and engineering teams to guide better decisions. We’re a passionate team of specialists, statisticians, and optimizers who are resourceful in distilling questions, wrangling data, and driving impactful business decisions.

You Will:

  • Lead, design and develop scalable ML models to support the explosive growth of Square’s Sales and Account Management teams as they serve our rapidly expanding customer base.

  • Own machine learning models end-to-end, from the initial idea stage to live experimentation and iteration.
