Android Software Engineer, Square for Retail

Atlanta, GA, USA
Employees can work remotely
Full-time

Alternate Location: Toronto, Canada

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

Retailers have struggled too long with clunky, outdated and disconnected tools. Even as mammoth Retail and e-commerce forces threaten to disrupt smaller merchants, we are empowering those merchants with simple and elegant solutions to complex problems - like predictive analytics and fluid, omni-channel capabilities to meet customers wherever they are - to always make the sale.

Square for Retail is a growing product team based out of New York, San Francisco, Toronto, and Atlanta. We benefit from (and contribute to) the resources of the larger organization while staying focused on solving Retail-specific challenges. We are relentlessly customer focused, and iterate quickly using a build-measure-learn approach.

Work with a world-class team of experienced and dedicated engineers, product managers and designers.
Deliver features to our growing base of subscribers, shipped at a rapid cadence.

4+ years of Android development experience, and an excellent command of engineering fundamentals
Interest in learning (and helping us evolve) client engineering practices at scale
Unwavering commitment to customer experience and the quality of your work
An eagerness to share your ideas, and openness to those of others
