Android Engineer, Terminal Platform

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

Seller Android @ Square

Come join one of the many teams within Seller at Square – we build the products that our millions of sellers use every day to run and grow their businesses. Each team included below has unique and interesting opportunities – there’s almost certainly something for you!

Within Square’s Seller team, we value (and practice) deep collaboration between teams and disciplines. You’ll work with engineers across the organization to implement solutions to problems with direct impact on our customers. You’ll work regularly with product managers and designers to ensure we’re shipping the right things to our sellers and iterating based on their feedback.

Working within Seller Android is a unique opportunity in the mobile industry – you’ll get to work in one of the largest most established mobile ecosystems in existence – learning a lot from our team of 100+ Android engineers in the process.

Payments - Terminal API

Square Terminal API allows developers to connect Square Terminal to their custom point of sale (POS) systems, no matter which platforms or operating systems they’re developed on. With Terminal API, sellers can benefit from Square’s hardware devices and payments offering, while continuing to use the point-of-sale system that best meets their needs. For developers, Terminal API helps manage the complexities of payment processing, including security and compliance, so that developers can focus on building a world-class product. This opens up millions of opportunities to onboard small to medium-sized businesses to the Square ecosystem.

As an Android engineer, you will have ownership over the client application embedded in the Square Terminal. You will work with Backend as well as fellow Android engineers to develop new features and improve on existing experiences, and in the process, contribute to one of our most important projects.

Qualifications

You’ll need to…

Be proficient in Java and/or Kotlin for development (we use both).
Enjoy working on mobile apps at all levels – from networking up to user interfaces and whatever’s in between.
Build high availability and highly resilient systems which can accept and report payments no matter the network or device conditions.
Collaborate with iOS, Android, and Server engineers to ship features.
Work with product managers and designers to refine and define product scope and design.
